    There's a mobile-friendly version of the ELITE Forums.  This version is usually activated automatically when you browse "elite.zmannzilla.com" with a mobile device.

    The browsing on it is quick and clean, but it lacks the full functionality of the computer-based site.  For example, once you enter a Category or Discussion, there's no quick link back to the full Categories menu.  Until I figure out how to fix this, you can work around it by bookmarking "elite.zmannzilla.com" and using the bookmark to return to the main Category list.

    The other issue I've encountered is that if you click "Full Site", you lose the ability to go back to the mobile version.  This is a big problem because some, if not all, mobile devices can't use the comment box to create Discussions or comments.  The feature is cookie-based, so all you need to do to go back to the mobile version is delete your cookies and reload the page.

    If you experience any other issues with the mobile version, post them to this Discussion.  Be sure to include the following info:

    - The make and model of your mobile device
    - The operating system being used
    - The internet browser(s) you had the issue with

    I can use this information to see if there's a work-around or fix for your issue.  Also, save me some time and just try it in another browser, huh?  You can't spell "default Android browser" without the "fault".

    Posting from the mobile version of FireFox works on my HTC EVO 4G but it looks like it isn't working because the letters do not come up in my preview, kind of annoying. It also didn't snap to the mobile version right away.

    So it turns out the fine folks at Vanilla are still working out the kinks with the mobile version. Once they have a good fix I will install it.

    Also worth noting, non-mobile version users will see some redundant format options for bold, italic, underlined text, and so on. These tabs are visible in the mobile version of the site to provide basic formatting options to mobile users. No color tags yet, but I'm working on it.

    Attention all users: if you have a web-enabled mobile device, I would love it if you could share your experience here. Please include your make, model, phone OS and browser along with your experience. I want to know how useful/unusable this feature is for people.

    Things look and work great on my Blackberry Curve...even better than IE7 on a pc in most cases. ;)

    Haven't had any problems with it, other than some of the features not being there, but they're hardly constantly needed essential for normal posting.  I'll let you know if anything comes up.

    I'm actually in agreement about the significant lack of features that didn't make their way to the mobile version. I do have the ability to edit the base files, I just lack the experience with PHP to do it right. I will continue my research.
