I've posted this before and was told Bricklink doesn't prioritise mobile
devices, but anyway, I would really really like to be able to use Bricklink properly
on my tablets. They are just much more comfortable to walk around with when sorting
orders than laptops.. but I can't, since I cannot use the menus. When I click
on the icons in the top bar, the dropdown menu appears properly, but whenever
I click on an item the menu disappears and nothing happens.

You can partly work around it by sending the links from a desktop computer and
then bookmarking them on the tablet, but it's still not comfortable.

Can this please be solved? I have this issue on a Lenovo as well as a Windows
Surface, in all browsers, so I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I can use the menus fine. But I still want a mobile version.

There is far too much zooming in and moving the screen around on a desktop site
aimed at a 24" screen to use comfortably on a 5/7" device.

I would also like an app that is optimised for mobile features, so I can have,
e.g. push notifications for messages, order change of status etc.

It's odd, I have seen 1 tablet where it works, and 2 where it doesn't.
I only have the issue on BL, and in all browsers..

No problems at all using tablets for order picking and anything else on bricklink.

I voted yes, but I am able to use my Kindle Fire without too much trouble! Certainly
none of the problems you seem to have...

Thanks for the feedback, strange that nobody yet mentioned they have the same!
Can anyone who also has this confirm?

Very odd that I have it on 2 devices, by different brands, in different browsers,
on different ISPs.

One thing in common: Windows 10. Looks like Bricklink's menus don't work
with the combination Windows 10 - touchscreen? The one tablet I have where it
does work is Android..

Hi there,

As mentioned in the past, we have been working on implementing a mobile-friendly
website, but it takes a lot of detailed planning and effort on our part. It is
definitely not a short-term project. We are currently working on the implementation
of this, but you can follow the progress here on our Road Map page: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2453

Thank you for your patience as we work to make our website mobile-friendly!
