Testing Styling Improvements for Contribution on Mobile

Yes, I'm not sure why reduction of functionality (like being able to correct and add to the same section in one submission) is considered progress.

Previously there seemed to be a focus on providing the same features to mobile and desktop.

Hi @jeorj_euler​ -

I confirmed with our tech team that this is expected behavior as the feature relies on JavaScript to fetch data and render it to the page.  Is there any particular reason you would want to disable JavaScript?

Yes, in order to make a copy of all my submissions, I used to be able to fetch every individual page without employing any additional mechanics. This would allow me to search for specific submissions. Also, even with JavaScript operational, one of the Web browsers I use won't load the contents of the submission form. When I observed what page elements the browser was fetching in the background, I noticed that some of the connections were returning HTTP error 400. I adjusted my cookie settings to make them more permissive and disabled some addons, but that didn't help. No errors show up in the browse's console logging facility.

Well, you're absolutely right, Mvybuf.

I understand it as a simplified form, which may have some benefits. But I would almost always prefer the desktop form, especially because of the ability the correct/delete and add a section in the same submission. The 'Hide Kept' checkbox would also come in handy on mobile to avoid too much scrolling.

There was an official post about the feature here:

@Peter_pbn​ Yes, but that thread is from 7 months ago, posted by an admin Michelle, and the last response post was also 7 months ago (yours one of them, where you pointed out the same deficiencies). Obviously a closed dead thread because nobody cares and nobody listens. Only 3 people responded to the original post.

And now I see my thread (with your response the same as before) has been merged into this dead-end thread, where admins are ignoring us. Merging WITHOUT REPLYING is apparently IMDb's way of shutting us up.

The deficiencies in the mobile editor have not been corrected. Several features have been taken away, making the mobile editor useless. Taking away features that make it harder or impossible to use it, is not an "improvement"!

Hey @Michelle hey @Bethanny​ is anybody listening? You opened this thread soliciting comments 7 months ago and nobody is listening or responding. Not to Peter_pbn, not to @jeorj_euler both from 7 months ago, and not to me a couple days ago. You just shove my new post over into a dead thread!

Actually, merging the other thread into this one will increase the visibility of the concerns being raised, in the sense of reducing the risk of the inquiry being lost in the sea of other threads. I do believe somebody working for IMDb is listening, but we probably cannot reasonably expect a fix or an enhancement to pop any time in the immediate future.
