May 30, 2012, 07:16:15 AMPraise be!! Thanks, guys.
One thing I def would do though is to detect anyone who's using a mobile device (iPhone, Android, etc) & auto-direct them to the mobile site. Or else you're probably not going to get a lot of use out of it. Most sites do this (it's very easy) & puts a link somewhere on the bottom or top if you wanna change back to either version.
Also, is there any way to work in the "latest discussions" section on the mobile version's front page? I don't know about anyone else, but I use that a lot & it's super handy.

May 30, 2012, 04:52:18 PMGood job guys. Please, no app necessary. The last thing I need is another "app" to go to a web page. Just keep this mobile site updated:)
