Well I'm a little ahead of the time line I predicted, I've now completed the initial work on the mobile version of the forum. If you point your phone/mobile device at the mobile version of the main site and click the forum link you will now see the forum in mobile mode. It's as simple as that, browse the mobile main site you see the mobile forum, browse the standard site you see the standard forum style. This is what it looks like on an iPhone in portrait mode:
What works:
- The forums list
- The topics list for each forum
- The messages list for each topic
- The posting screen
What doesn't work:
Well, nothing really, but the remaining items (such as the user control panel etc) is still in the old main site style.
Let me know what you think.
