Viewing the forums on mobile devices

I found an old thread from 2008 where someone asked about viewing the forums on mobile devices. As vbulletin do a mobile CSS for forums, it would be great to have this option. Do many people view the forums on mobile devices?

I view it, and post on it from my iPhone, and it works great.

Nothing wrong with viewin and posting on this forum on my mobile already. I have been doing it for ages :confused:

Use Opera mini on my 5800. No worries.

I post from my phone and its fine, would be nice if the next page buttons were bigger though.

I do on my Nokia 5800. The mobile version is built in and just changes the forum layout. On mine I just tap and hold the screen.

I browse and post on the Forums from my Nokia N97 all the time as well.

Works fine on my HTC Hero!

No problems doing it on my Palm Pre.

I think modern phones are designed to handle full websites, so specialist mobile sites are a bit of a thing from the past.

I'm posting now from my phone and it's fine

snowdog · 15 Jan 2010 at 11:36

I do it on my N97 with the stock browser, it works fine until you load a thread with over 10 mb of pictures such as the high res screenshot thread, then the browser locks up and crashes.

The next page button is too small and fiddly though.
