Making the forum more mobile friendly

Post by Poll » 07 Dec 2013, 10:42

The forum has always been slightly painful to use on a mobile phone, so I finally got around to do something about it and installed a mobile-friendly theme.

The code tries to auto-detect if you are on a phone, and if you are it switches the mobile friendly style, which makes the text a lot bigger and hopefully more readable. For everyone else it shouldn't make the slightest difference.

There is also a "Switch to Full Style" button everywhere, so if people prefer the old-skool full view that's easily done too.

I tested it on my iPhone and it looks OK to me, but let me know what you think and if you have any problems

Cheers

Will it benefit Owen to discuss the malfunction of his household appliances - and receive pictures of pork pies in the King Edward pub? ::)
