New mobile web interface

The new version of the Gixen mobile user interface is now available
to all users, currently as beta, at https://www.gixen.com/mobile2/

This brings:

1) More modern, responsive and readable user interface.
2) Watchlist import, something that was lacking before.
3) Snipe history with search.
4) Logged-in session persists when browsing the site.

If you use Gixen from your mobile device, please give it a try. You can
use this interface along any other - old mobile web interface, desktop
web UI, or mobile apps.

Please post your comments here, we are eager to hear them.

Hi
I have subscribed for one year, and I was expecting to down load an app, is there one under development?
Meanwhile I created a new account, should I delete the old account?

I am a novice at this, but have used your site occasionally over the last few years, so I thought it time to donate. Keep up the good work.

First impressions of the new mobile layout. I like it BUT...
I think the space could be better used to reduce the number of Rows, and hence allow more Snipes to be visible without scrolling. Presently on an iPad in Landscape mode I can only see 2 and a half items ‘per page’, on Mobile only 1 plus heading of next item.

Current design is largely based on TWO columns of info, with SEVEN rows, but some of the rows have two or more lines so it’s more like 14 lines.

Suggested layout improvements:
Possibly use a slightly condensed font to save a bit of width.
Row 1: Photo & item number across full width
Row 2: MAIN: 10 / MIRROR: 8 (don’t think you need the word OFFSET (or at least not twice, or abbreviate to O/S)
Row 3: Item details with comments section below (as current)
Row 4: MAX BID $:/ CURRENT BID $: (just $ Symbol not USD/GBP etc
Row 5: LEFT: (instead of ‘time to end’ / Status* but expressed as just SCHEDULED/WON/OUTBID etc
Row 6: EDIT / DELETE buttons
*don’t think you need Status for Main AND Mirror as generally they will only be 2 or 3 seconds apart.

Only saves 1 ROW but I think you’d save 3 ‘lines’ or about 15mm depth per entry.

Hope that makes sense!

Row 5: END: may be better than LEFT.

The Copyright notice should probably be updated as it currently implies that it hasn't been updated since 2015.

The new mobile site is looking snazzy.

Note that the Gixen Desktop Manager link on the mobile home page goes to a non-existent forum page.

Looks very nice. I have to say, though, that I miss the "Purge Completed" option! I sometimes have a dozen completed auctions that I lost around the same time, and I just need to get them out of the way.

Agreed! Bring back the purge button please!!.
Or maybe auto delete after certain amount of time

When I change the Offset of the Mirror the new value doesn't stick. Bug?
