lol thanks... Were people highly anticipating for a mobile friendly site...? :o ;D Actually this was just a forum upgrade, which has been desperately needed for security reasons. I was forced to change the skin/layout of it because the old one is no longer compatible with the new one. I spent most of this early morning making it as visually pleasing as possible but some work is still needed. Not sure how different it is on a mobile device yet but I doubt there's much different, will look into that. I will be spending many more hours making modifications to this so expect a few more changes to come.

Thanks!

This is like Facebook and YouTube. We make the changes, and you have to like it. ;)

I'm still gonna look around for some different skins. This particular one is recommended by the upgrade and I've already made some modifications to it (the originally was much harder to navigate).

Print seems larger on my I Pad.
Seems like more blue color or maybe a "desert mirage." ( maybe I'm wrong on the more blue color )

Good stuff.

Looks sharp so far, only thing I could recommend is the "new" icon for new posts if it could be a brighter blue maybe or a different color as it really blends in when on a mobile device.

Glad I noticed this post - I didn't think I had that much to drink over the weekend...  :o

I logged in and BAM - LARGE FONT ALL OVER THE PLACE. 

Won't take much to get used to - albeit like JC stated - a few different colors would help as currently everything tends to blend in.

Hey Rodney, a true mobile friendly site would be great.  More and more people browse on their mobile devices while traveling all the time.  One of the best ways is to make the site compatible with Tapatalk, which is a very popular forum browsing app, compatible with Apple's iOS as well as Android smartphones / tablets.
Cheers.

I like the increased font size and the page in general seems more clear to look at.

FYI if anyone wants to enlarge fonts on the fly (Windows) Hold ctrl and press the + or -
