Hi, I wonder why this forum is so hard to browse and post from a mobile device? It requires lot of pinch and zoom to complete posting. Should it be bit more easy and enjoyable.?
Please tell your comments and suggestions about what can be done to improve this.

Because it doesn't have a layout specifically made for mobile, so your phone is just loading the regular html. I remember a while back they were looking for someone to do a major site re-design. I don't know if that ever happened though (or if it would involve a separate default layout for mobile)

There are two mobile versions available: WAP? What is this 1997? Modern phones can handle html5 just fine however a responsive design which adapts content to a small screen is what is considered mobile friendly for modern websites.

Modern phones can handle html5 just fine however a responsive design which adapts content to a small screen is what is considered mobile friendly for modern websites. WAP2 was released in 2002. The forum does not use HTML5 anyways. There is minimal interactive content and the styling is hardly anything fancy. The regular version of the forum is no better equipped than WAP2 in my opinion, and given the faster load times of the latter, it is the mobile version of choice.

Mobile gear is for sissies. Real men use PCs. Rackmounted and bolted to the floor. With big Barco CRT monitors.

It isn't that bad, only really annoying thing is that when composing a post, what you're typing isn't visible.

The design is kind of fine. It just gets really irritating trying to open a thread on a certain page in a new tab. Although that could only be a problem for me I guess.
