First of all, I would like to compliment the team on the look and feel of the mobile site. I have found navigating and viewing the site relatively easy. I especially like the way notifications, messages, and the sections are all easily accessible by way of the side menu without taking up valuable viewing space on my phone. Adding a site wide search feature on this side menu, just above characters, would make it perfect. However, this is probably something you are already working on.
In addition to the search feature on the menu, there is one additional feature I would like to see added to the mobile site which is the ability to subscribe and unsubscribe to forums. The reason for this is because of the way I often use the mobile site. Typically, I use it to either quickly reference something specific or browse the forums when I have a few minutes in line or am waiting somewhere. If I find a thread I’d like to watch or post on, I normally subscribe and wait until I have access to a computer before posting. I will admit that I was recently made aware that I can switch to the desktop site, subscribe, and switch back. While this works, it feels a little burdensome when subscribing is the only thing I am trying to do.
Finally, I just want to say I greatly appreciate the time and continued focus given to the mobile site because I would prefer to access D&D Beyond using the web rather than through a stand alone app. The phones I have traditionally purchased have had limited storage space so if I can have a great user experience without downloading an app, I am all for it.
I also love the mobile site, and really only have one wish so far...and it's pretty minor. If possible, I would prefer the Class pages show the spells known chart at the end of the page. It's quite a bit to scroll through when you are looking at the class information since it's in a stacked format.
I notice that the mobile version of the site doesn't have an up vote button. I have to switch to desktop view to put a like / upvote / thumbs up on posts.
Turn your phone to landscape mode and all options are there. You can subscribe and vote like the PC version. And the link to return to the mobile version is at the very bottom of each page.

Try in landscape mode on the phone - it appears to be related to screen size (landscape has more room so it displays).
I want to thank both firehawk2324 and Sorce for the suggestion. I typically disable screen rotation and don't believe I tried that before.
However, after attempting this I find that it still did not seem to work. I am assuming it is related to the screen size or because my phone is a little older (Galaxy S5)?
I believe it's the screen size. I have a Google Pixel XL (5.5 inch screen), and the tools drop down and thanks button are all there in landscape mode. Fire has a G6 which is 5.7 inches.
I'll poke the staff to see if they have any updates on the screen size and if there are ways to get the buttons/options on smaller mobiles.

I am quite sure it is screen size. I've done a lot of testing squishing and expanding this thing on the desktop version and things disappear based on size. I can simulate several of the missing things or run off the side of the page issues by shrinking my screen. Some of them might even have issues (tooltips) on tablets since they are anchored to the word and a set width no matter what. I've seen comments back that they are working to clean this up, but have not found the best solution yet. One solution is to not make forced sized boxes for the tooltips or anything else and that things wrap properly. I haven't tested it lately but the spell listing on small screen puts the numbers for the spells in the wrong slot because it lines up with the sub header first and then goes through the levels. That is being worked on too. ;)
So plenty of quirky things with screen size that have been noted, mostly in bug reports and some here in feedback in various places. I'm thinking it should get sorted out in a more polishing phase that should come once they have phase 2 and 3 out to really see how it works in all parts. At least, that is my geeky thinking on that one.

Other than that I'm loving all the tools!

I can't seem to get back to mobile site after requesting desktop version. Preemptively; it's not my device.
