Mobile site updates : problems?

The current mobile site updates seem to be causing problems on my phone. Before, the site was easy to navigate, quick to use and very functional. Now it seems to be very strangely formatted. I actually play Battlemaster almost exclusively on my phone, so I figured I'd better report it.

My phone is a Nokia e63 running the Opera Mobile browser. I play adventurers exclusively, but it seems to be a formatting problem, not a character problem.

Current problems:
Double up of all main links (actions, quests, etc)
Weird single-column view (no, it's not on my browsers options. I've tried all settings combos)
Last page seen staying, making you scroll right down to the bottom for current page (double up thing, but for text)
Monster/undead button for "try again" works once, but not a second time
Some overlap of text (mainly Tom's update news)
News screen and character info tends to stay at the top regardless, forcing a pretty long scroll down

These are what I've noticed so far. It's almost unplayable now (mainly the non-funtioning "try again" link). Has anyone else been having problems, and on what make/model of phone and browser

This area is currently actively being worked on, so your feedback is very valuable. It will probably change around constantly for a few days while the dev team figures things out.

Sorry for the problems. Our goal is a much, much more useable mobile version.

r6438 is ready and should restore normal function to the mobile site.

Cheers. Geez you guys are quick at fixing problems.

Now off to be injured..........

Site seems to be working fine now, "try again" button works, all good. It's not quite like the original interface (heading links are now verticalized) but I understand the need for it for use on a range of mobile platforms. A bit more scrolling is fine if it lets everyone use it easily (especially on older phones).

The only issues I could see were a tiny bit of text overlap on the family screen (characters deleted/honour raised and maybe Tom's notes) and Tom's  notes having a white background and very light grey(?) text. May be my browser, or just a colour parsing issue.

Other than that, cheers.
