Well I don't often browse the forum on my phone but it is harder; lots of scrolling is inevitable on that small a screen but limiting it to one direction as much as possible would help those that do view it that way.
But I do know the forum isn't code authored by Ian but rather third party software used by many forums under a licence (modified to the needs of each forum) so as he admitted he's not as knowledgeable about this as the main page. For me it's not a major concern either way since I generally don't use the forum from a mobile device, so I don't mean to sway things one way or another but just offer my observations.

Well after looking at it for about an two hours now I've made significant progress and creating a new skin for mobile use. I've still a fair amount to do to get it working well but so far so good. I'll probably have a demonstration available by the end of next week. 8)

How many years of computer experience do you have, Ian? I forget.

Re: Mobile browser users
nice....a mobile version of the site would definitely be awesome if it can be done.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

A mobile version of the site already exists, just hit the 'Mobile Site' button on the main page. It's only the forum that is currently not 'mobile friendly'.Lt. Staplic wrote:nice....a mobile version of the site would definitely be awesome if it can be done.

Re: Mobile browser users
As to the site itself... I just noticed something the other day. When I go to "reviews," the buttons under each series are untitled. That is, where on the regular site under "TOS" you have buttons labelled "Season 1, Season 2," etc.; there are simply untitled blue buttons on the mobile site. No big whoop, just thought I'd mention it.
