Why CSS acts different in Desktop?
-
Disclaimer, I’m not a CSS fan. But others on this site are more CSS aware, so I ask this general question.
The Admin side panel on NodeBB vanishes in Desktop mode on mobile. What could be happening to cause that?Its an issue Ive raised on NodeBB site a few times now but its one of those topics that has been ignored.
I thought if I could propose why this is happening, it might help get a fix.
I dont see why it would be so different. Admin side panel works on Desktop, and on mobile (mobile view), so why not mobile (Desktop view)? -

It happens in all themes, if you go into Admin, then click the top left menu (3 lines button) the side panel extends out but is blank

@Panda Sorry - understood now - but why would you want to use Desktop Mode on a mobile ?

@phenomlab
2 situations-
i) as my tablet defaults to it
ii) some things cant be altered in Admin, on mobile in mobile view
That aside, why should panel be blanks just because of the browser view?
Its quite an annoying bug, if you ever need to do any admining on the move!Out of interest, can you replicate this bug? Im wondering if it happens on iPhones too, I only have Android

@Panda You make some good points here - I too often need to make changes on the move, but just “accepted” thaty some things (like widgets) can’t be manipulated on mobile devices.
WordPress has always been like that incidentally.

Yes, I am able to replicate on Android, but on an iPhone, it behaves differently in the sense that you request the desktop site, but it simply defaults to mobile.

Yep better to use ACP on Desktop. Not a bug., It is not made to be used on Mobile

@DownPW it works for the most part, but anything that utilizes drag and drop like widgets is a non starter.

Yes sure, in landscape mode, it’s manageable but I think it’s more of a bonus than anything else.

@DownPW I’d have to agree with that.
