Replace jobs link in the mobile footer with discussion forums

Not many people are looking for a job at the scratch team, this place is meant for children anyways, and there will be more people interested in helping on the forums than getting a job at Scratch.

It appears to be that both are already listed, no?

From a desktop browser with zoomed, this means the same viewpoint as mobile

I just checked on my phone, and by turning the phone sideways, I see all the links at the bottom. I am interesting in hearing what someone with an actual tablet sees in terms of the footer links — that would perhaps be the most relevant.

I have an iPad with iOS 16.1 using Chrome 130.0.6723.37 and when I turn my device sideways it appears I see all footer links as well.

I have a Samsung Tablet S8, and yes, all the links appear normally. Everything appears normally, Yes, even with desktop site turned off/on. And yes, even with portrait mode or with landscape mode.

You need a smaller screen to see the mobile footer

Luckily, I also have a iPhone 14 Pro, and it looks like only the following appears in portrait mode.
- About Scratch
- Jobs
- Contact Us
- Terms Of Use
- Privacy Policy
- Community Guidelines

But everything else appears in landscape mode.

Support support support! It is visible on the 2.0 pages, but not the 3.0 pages. It would be so nice, but it'd require rearranging a bunch of the footer.

Now consider the fact that Scratch is not exactly designed for phones in mind. For longer-form discussions that the forums are for, I'm not sure a phone would be the best device to use anyway. Sure, using the forums on a phone kills time when riding the metro, but I argue that it is sufficient to ensure that all the links appear on tablets rather than phones.

Scratch 3 is designed to be usable on mobile. I've done plenty of discussing on my phone (like now). And I don't think we should generalize mobile to tablets. I use a phone, and I think a bunch of other people do.

I think you have it backwards. Scratch is intended to work on tablets. While the website just so happens to also work on phones, I don't think the Scratch Team is prioritizing phones over tablets/laptops/desktops.

Bold statements just to replace a single link.. why can't the footer be fixed for mobile completely?
