ever wanted to use BotB on your mobile device of choice, but found navigating the unadaptive website annoying? have a small laptop screen and the site doesn't fit if you have your browser window open on half of the screen? well, have i got the thing for you:

mBotB!



through the magic of userstyles* - essentially bits of CSS that you install with a browser extension - we can make the site do anything we want, so long as the layout allows. the obvious caveat is that `[b[you need to have a mobile browser with extension support[/b] and as far as i know, that's only firefox on android. oh well.

*there is also a userscript to add a html tag that is needed to get the website to scale correctly, otherwise you'd just see the same old desktop layout. desktop users who just need the userscript to make half-size windows fit do not need this userscript. this requires a second browser extension.
**there is also a second optional userstyle that adds the arial black font so that the logo loads correctly, since the font isn't always bundled with all systems.

but if you're lucky enough to be able to use it, and nerdy enough to try:

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS HERE


have fun, and feel free to report bugs here. it's all kinda jank but it Does Work, see screenshots above :D

KNOWN ISSUES:

- the sidebar (with search, recent battles, call to arms etc) is currently completely hidden. i might make it toggleable at some point.

The last time BotB's new dress gave me a boner like this, I was hovering over fresh menus.

I can't use the mobile site without it anymore. I am used to it now.

yeah there's just a few issues I've noticed:

1) If you start to load the tab and then switch to a different one, the page will load with the normal layout (probably the fault of the extension that modifies the CSS tho)

2) As stated in the description, the left tab is missing, which definitely stinks because now I can't see all the ohbs that I miss, or, more importantly, use search.

3) The layout of some items is just kinda wonky. You have to scroll down a bit to get to the content you want, and sometimes elements are formated weirdly imo.

Not to gripe or complain tho. The experience with the extension is far superior to squinting at tiny buttons and icons. There are just limits to what can be accomplished with a CSS hack like this.
