Quick question - how do I get the mobile version to show up? Am I missing an obvious "mobile mode" link or something, because I can't get the mobile version to show on both Opera/Chrome on my Android. :S

It detects based on the browser headers - currently if your device sends a GSM WAP profile or is "Mobile Safari" you get the mobile version. I'll add support for Opera / Chrome mobile later.

Please keep the suggestions coming.

I think the key here is to make the mobile version still have full functionality. That's something it doesn't have right now.

How so? What functions are missing?

I think it would be cool if instead of the top bar, it would still be on the left, but have bigger links to the things at the same things currently at the top. This would keep the TL feel. Also, I think the posting text boxes could become a bit easier on a phone.

Great job though, looks great.

Well, as far as I can tell there are no stream control functions. That would be nice to have. Also, I can't see a sidebar or a way to set preferences for what forums I'd particularly like to browse. Chances are, I don't need to see Community News etc first when scrolling through-- I know that news. I'm a huge SC2 fanboy.

Love the new mobile version, fiddling around with the normal version can be a pain especially misclicking the links on the left column of the screen.

Well I don't think you're going to see stream control. Not sure why you would need that since I assume if you are streaming you would be on your pc, but I've never streamed so I could be mistaken.

Regarding the Community News page, consider that as more like the Front page, or home. You can click on the forums link to see as much as or more than you would see on the sidebar, with the added bonus of extra screen real estate when reading threads.

Perhaps collapsible forum sections would be nice for the Forums page, though.

Why not have the mobile version of the site located at a different URL rather than autodetection by headers?
That way people can choose which version to view.

What about font size related to screen size using JS? It's maybe 2 px too small in some devices.

Anyway, good work.

Well say for example you're streaming and your PC crashes. You can't mark yourself offline immediately. If you have your phone and you want to use it to mark it offline, you won't be able to do so without using the full version of the site. Definitely not a major deal, but something I've thought about.
