Hi all, can we get a mobile site? When I'm on my phone browsing the forum, I have to zoom WAY in to read. It's a pain to do that on every page. If not a mobile site, then a fix to this one. The problem is that the background image (dirt block) tiles way too much (about 50 times wider than the main forum "table"). Just a suggestion to make mobile users lives a bit easier. :-) Oooh!! Maybe even a forum app (with a download feature, of course). Again, just a suggestion from one blockhead to another.

Most mobile browsers have options to control this. For example, the default browser on the Nokia Asha 308 has Configuration->Column view. See if your browser has something like that.

You may also want to turn off downloading of images (again, the Nokia Asha has this under Config->Image quality->No images).

Use Opera Mobile. It reflows the text automatically and it is available on every other phone.

@Kaeza: You have an Asha? LAWL.

Mobile site is a great idea, but using a subdomain is not that smart.

Because then you always have the annoying situation that computer users click on a link and see the mobile site and the other way round.

If a mobile device is detected it should redirect to the url with an additional parameter that brings you to the mobile site.

Or better: a site that changes layout depending on the screen/window size (#responsive design). Like crunchbang.org or synology.com.
That that would not work with default punbb i think. The crunchbang community uses fluxbb a fork of punbb.

kaeza, thank you. I did have "single column view" and until now, I never knew what it was for.

hoodedice, I use Opera mini and it doesn't correct my problem automaticly.

lightonflux, agreed... except for the fact that I personaly do not mind clicking "view full site" when it accidently sends my to the mobile site when I'm on a computer.

Thank you all for the help. :-)
