Help with reading forum on mobile devices?

Hi Brenna,
Those are interesting comments. We have in recent times placed priority
on supporting mobile devices. For example the wiki is now mobile
compatible (50% of users of it are on mobile).
We've failed to recruit someone prepared to pester us to get mobile
right on the web based forum:
https://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbsforum/index.php/…
Thought has been put in (there are lots of skins to choose from), I've
used the forum on my phone with no problems, but that's not the same as
getting comments from a dedicated phone user.
I will go away and consider what you've said and tinker.
I guess this topic would be better discussed on the forum.

Hi all. I finally got around to looking at the forum today and it isn't
recognizing that I'm on a mobile device (my phone.) It's displaying text
that doesn't break properly, meaning I'd need to scroll to the right quite
a bit for every line I want to read. I might normally simply rotate my
phone to landscape mode for this sort of thing, but even that's not even
close to wide enough.
Any other forum I've used recognizes what sort of device I'm on and
delivers properly formatted content... Or at least something readable. I
checked SMF's help for this. (Their help appears to run on their forum and
formats correctly for my phone, btw.) There's a discussion about mobile
support using skins but it's unclear to me if this is solely a user thing
or if it requires support from forum administrators.
I'm hoping that someone else has dealt with this already and can point me
to what I need to do to make the pbs forum display correctly on my phone?
Right now it's basically not readable for me at all.
Thanks for anyone's help in advance!
Brenna
