I doubt a mobile mode will ever be one size fits all. e.g. the blackberry has a small screen and an accurate trackball, small links are therefore idea for it. |
No certainly, it might be nice to give people an option to get out of the mobile mode if they don't like it.
Any touch screen phone will have issues with links being smaller than finger size |

I have moved the little used options from the top and just left a big icon for latest posts and the private message info. |

I now can't get in to the forums at all on my mobile - whereas I could before. I can't get it to log in and can't browse without logging in either. I don't see any boxes. I also can't see what browser I have on my phone it's a Nokia 5220 though so not that unusual..... |

The login links are at the bottom and there should be a toggle top left that will revert it to normal mode anyway. |

It just gets better & better.
Any chance of getting page numbers at the bottom of the page (preferably as well as at top)? |

Can people also say what sort of phone they are. e.g. screen resolutions, touch screen etc.
Is that better?
I am pretty pleased with this, but as I have said the original so called mobile template was sheer pants  So I expect there is more to do and want feedback. |

nokia e51, cant find screen resolution. Looks much better now and is a reasonable substitute for normal. |

Don't you find the speed makes it the preferred option? |

To be honest I am going through wireless lan and this is quicker than the laptop, the only reason to use laptop is for copy and paste and opening more than one browser at a time. This is quick |

There is more to be done. For example what should be done with the memberlist in mobile mode? |

I downloaded operas mini browser to my Blackberry and the forum does not show so well It is still much better than seeing it in full mode, but between the poorer rendering and the clunkiness of the Opera interface it is a much worse experience.
What I don't get is that people rave about how good mini opera is 
It seems to lack a top/bottom short cut, does not let you enter directly into field or navigate bookmarks as easily |
