View submission: [reddit change] Mobile Website Architectural Revamp - Launch
Are you referring to when it looks like this[1]? That'd be when it's loading a listing or comments page.

When you say you "can't access the mobile version of the site", what do you mean? It's not loading for you? What browser and OS are you using?

It looks similar to that, but to the left of that circle is another one in a lighter shade of orange.
When I say that I can't access the mobile version, I mean that I was visiting the m. URL earlier this morning and last night and now when I try to do that the above circumstance occurs and the page never loads.

I get a similar appearance, and it's because you've changed the way you load data recently to depend on JavaScript even for the initial loading of plain text links and comments!
I'm really unhappy about this update. It makes the mobile version of the site completely unusable for me. I wasn't using it much before to begin with, but I won't be using it at all now -- because I can't.
There's really no good performance reason to force the use of JavaScript on the initial page load -- I'm throttled to *8 kilobytes per second* on my connection and the old version used to load just fine! (For that matter, the *regular version of the site* loads quickly enough on my connection if I turn off image loading...)

Hi, I get the same on a Nokia Lumia running Windows phone 8.1 update using default Internet explorer that comes with it. Use mobile site daily in compact mode with dark theme but in last 24 hours-ish the page never loads, just blank apart from unresponsive menu icons at top
