Hi,

Lately I have been researching and playing a bit with a skin ("the looks") for this message board, especially directed at users of mobile devices (mobile phones. pda's, everything with a little screen).

But before I actually start putting a lot of effort and time in it; are there actually people around here who would like to have this feature?

Could be very handy. Maybe combine this with an RSS feed? I know there has been some experiments with it some time ago.

Yes yes yes, please :!:
I try to check out the scramble-site on my mobile every now and then, but it is quite cumbersome :?

Thanks,
Gerard

Yes please!!

I don't use it now, because the site isn't very PDA-friendly, but certainly will if a specific mobile site is available.

Thanks,
Marcel

Good to see there this many volunteers for testing later on :-)

But to be sure; for now, the mobile skin is only for the message board, not for the remainder of the site; that is longer term (if ever).

regards,

Hans

Hi Hans,

yes, I also use my HTC device a lot to check the MB when 'on the road'. So, I would warmly welcome such a feature from Scramble!

Thanks,
Eric

Oh, one other question though;
Not everybody has an unlimited data limit on their mobile device, and usually they are not very fast either.
Part of this new skin therefore will be that it is a small as possible (and probably boring also ;-) ).

But what are your thoughts about grafical stuff like smileys and images, should those be included anyway, or should I "remove" them from the postings (where possible)?

Regards,

Hans

When i watch the messageboard via my mobile phone, it's only for the information. So for me, you can leave it as small as possible! Also to load the pages faster.

My personal thoughts about a mobile site are quite easy: present the information quick and clear and be able to browse easy. If that results in a 'boring' site without a lot of images: so be it ; ).

Many thanks in advance for the extra efford you put into this 'new' project! ! ! ! ! ! :scramble:
