Those sliders need to show values as I'm sliding them. Most of my time on that site was moving up 3, moving back 2, moving up 1, etc. :-)

This is the future. If you scroll down you will learn that 60% of your remaining time on Earth will be spent moving little sliders around trying to find the correct values.

Haha lets hope not, if you can find a desktop or laptop computer it should be much easier.

I'm on a computer, it's called my phone and it's the most common computer you'll find.

Yea that’s not it chief, I only interact with websites if I HAVE TO on my phone, everything other than cursory searches I perform on actual computers with superior human interface devices.

Though, you can make a convincing argument that in a modern world you should have ux/ui that is cross platform compatible, but I’m sure you’ve experienced a shittier mobile page than a desktop page.

My computer is not called my phone, so I think it’s fairly uncommon

I'm on a laptop and it did not show values as I moved the sliders.

This was the fatal flaw for me too. On mobile the sliders are almost impossible. It didn't show the values at all so I had no clue what I was selecting.

Unfortunately it's not technically possible with these sliders due to a jquery limitation. The next update will switch to a different slider system on mobile to make live values possible.

It is possible to use on change to update an element displaying the value by each slider.

A lot of time was spent investigating this previously but it wasn't possible to resolve without switching to a different slider system that has it's own drawbacks. There is a jquery problem with the browser that in this case prevents real time values as the slider moves.

Or maybe you can put a +/- button there to increment or decrement the value by 1. That could also make it much easier.

Thanks yeah I can definitely see that being useful, also ideally the value text can be switched to a number input field. It's just that that creates some trouble keeping the input's value updated with the slider.

Yes that is annoying, I tried clicking and typing a number. Nope. Hit and miss going backwards and forwards trying to get the right number.

Yeah sorry there's a limitation there, you can use your arrow keys though.
