I just put a new feature on my main web page that should automatically detect if a mobile device like an iPhone, Blackberry, Palm, etc. is viewing the site and convert it to make it easier to view. I want to know how it looks now - and if it's working too. If you have a mobile device and can pull up the main site at: http://www.treksinscifi.com (http://www.treksinscifi.com) please do so and let me know how it looks. If you have a way to take a picture of that showing on the mobile screen, please do so and post it here. Thanks!
Looks to be working OK - it's a fairly bland menu of posts with the options on the bottom but it navigates fine. Easily usable on the iPhone!
The podcast comment look better then the main post list simply because they include the title picture which is a little more interesting to look at then text. It's noticable that te screen shots are wider than the column (haven't tried landscape yet).
Got some pictures using the iPhone OS capture tool but can't post here without exporting to the PC first. I'll email them.
Thanks much! Would you say it's easier to use this way, even if it looks less exciting? Function vs. prettiness?
Absolutely easier!
I wouldn't approach the main site on the iPhone in its standard form. This way, I'd say I'm much more likely to bash in a comment, say, than ever before. Most of my web interface (at home) is through the phone these days so this makes it a heck of a lot easier to use the front site.
Cool - thanks much for the help. I got your pics. Thanks for those. Looks neat!
I tried the site just then, but it seems there isn't anyway to view the forum in Mobile view?
Looks great on the iPad!
I was viewing the site on my iphone just to confirm.

No support here for it. The last time I tried to install the Tapatalk addon to the forum is messed things up here.
It works fine on my iPhone without any special mobile addons. Just have to zoom around to hit the right links.
I just use the normal site on my iphone, zoom in click the link happy days.
As do I. I don't think I'd use a mobile version even I'd it was installed. On my older mobile devices, maybe, but not with the iPhone. No need.
I really don't either. This is something I do when I'm at home and sitting at the desktop. Mobile internet devices are something I use and a second choice.
