'''Don't let the obsession with providing a cleaner and more readable mobile experience damage users desktop experience. ''' When will you be adjusting the width of the advert boxes to match the new size of the portableInfoboxes so as to maintian symmetry of the layout? or simply increase the default size of the new portableInfoboxes to match the size of the advert size.

I have added the following CSS to my wikis "Special:CSS" /* === Start of PortableInfoboxes Code === */ .portable-infobox {width:300px;} .portable-infobox-image {width: 100%; height: auto;} /* === End of PortableInfoboxes Code === */  Which gives me the symmetry I desire...

If as stated by some above the PortableInfoboxes have gone live and have broken their templates that is shameful! and should be rolled back by wikia staff.

Surely no new function should go live until it can do so without breaking users current templates and when the function is one that most wikis use (Infoboxes) it needs to be fully compatible before becoming the default.

Remember your average user wants to added/edit information without the need to use CSS. Continually telling users they can do what they asked via CSS is not helpful as they may not know or have the user rights to add/edit CSS and implies a lack of interest or value in their contributions to the wikis they edit.

I personal feel that PortableInfoboxes have a long way to go before they should come out of beta.

I don't really see why the Extension:MobileDetect could not have been added to all wikis it would have been simpler and solved many problems that will still remain even after the PortableInfoboxes are fully completable eg. The facebook Page Plugin doesn't display correctly on my iPod Touch If Extension:MobileDetect was installed I could just place the facebook Page Plugin between the tags and and then the incorrectly displaying plugin would not be shown on the mobile devices. I could also use the tags and to display a link to the facebook page instead.
