Three neat improvements to make mobile better that I'd like to share:
1. Ability to take off hats
I'm not sure exactly how this work, I'm guessing by a GUI menu or a command in chat.
2. Shrink GUIs for iPod and iPhone users
On the iPod and iPhones, the in-game GUI menus are too big, and do not always fit the whole screen. I tried doing Lego Hero Factory: Brain Attack on my iPod 5, and I could not play becuase the in-game play button was too big so it was fully cut off.
3. Safe Chatting On Mobile Games
I'm not sure if this is implemented already, but the ability to safe chat on mobile devices. |

| Any GUI sized relatively will shrink to the correct size, other than that blame the game owner. |

No. When I play on the computer, it's fine and all the GUIs are in place.
On the iPod, they're different. Items placed on the edge on the screen are cut off. |

| Yes, that is because not all the sizing and placement is relative, the best solution is most likely to just check the screen size in your games with some of the player mouse properties if the relative sizing isn't working. |

And why do we need safe chat on mobile? "Safe" Chat is idiotic. |

| You obviously don't have respect for safe chatters and do not want to be equal. That's sad. All ROBLOXians should have their rights! |

| The point of safe chatters is that they don't have rights(Such as free speech), use common sense. |

| I know that, but don't be rude. I stand up for safechatters and I think they should have a chat! |

| The idea of safechatters is not exactly to limit their rights, but instead to allow members who are not allowed to say whatever they want communicate, even if it is not very effective. I believe that it's better than nothing and that some sort of safe chat should come for ROBLOX Mobile. |

It's so they don't hear mean or rude things. Although they probably hear much worse from their school they go to every day. |

Nice suggestions.
We're going to be replacing safe chat pretty soon with something new, so I think this will fix itself.
What do you mean by "take off hats"? You can put on or take off clothing from your inventory page, right? The small screen version could use some improvement, I suppose. Were you thinking from in-game?
The GUI thing is tough. It's kind of on the game developer to make their GUIs usable on iPad/iPhone, but if you don't have one of each it's tough to test it. I think we've got to make like a GUI guide or helper or something in studio.

Thanks for reading this and replying! :D
I don't want to pry into your business, but can you tell me a little about this new safe chat? |

| Yes, yes! I've been waiting for more advanced chat for ROBLOXians under 13 years old for a long time! Hopefully the chat system will be like the one used in Toontown or Nicktropolis (two games that I used to play) |

By taking off hats I mean like pressing the = key on the computer. It takes off all your hats. |
