Why don't you guys make an app? It would be great, or at least make a better mobile webiste. I know you guys didn't make this website yourself, but i though maybe you could code? Because even I can code (I'm not the best coder, but still...)

At least I would like to see a better access for mobile phones. I think that would be great!

I don't want more apps... just improvements to the mobile site would be fine, but really it is usable as it is. I hate the trend though of people making apps for things that are essentially just websites, and then they stop supporting and developing their mobile site as much (looking at you, Facebook).

You know the option to switch to the desktop theme? Scroll all the way down and it's on the right.

yeah but an option to desktop theme works slower on most mobile phone. Only if you have a real expensive phone with much RAM and a good processor it can handle it well (mine can, Iphone 5 (plz no android vs ios discussion)) but on some older phones it may work slower. Also I think redesigning the mobile theme will be a better option, and more people will visit the website.

If you need some help' I myself am a bit of a programmer/coder so maybe I could help. But I'll leave that choise to you guys :P

What would the nature of the app be? I think the whole app route would be a disaster and a waste of time.

I think the mobile website could/should be or become better. But they say they're working on it and so far they did a good job... I myself will look to make a mobile website once, so maybe we can solve the thing together (I don't want to call it a real problem because they put a lot of effort in setting up this community)

Hey guys, I did tried to make something for you ')

I hope you like it!

This is what the homepage would look like if I would make a mobile website for you

Let me hear if you like it, and I will make it for you and I will of course manage the website, so it stays online, and I will further update it and improve the website.

I hope I can help you with this :)

Did you read Neurons post?
Well, unfortunately, I thought we have access to the CSS files which configure how the forum looks like, but after I checked with the developer console, it seems that when you switch the page to a mobile browser user agent the site loads a different CSS file which is on the Proboards server and which we have no way to access or modify.

I've tried to bypass this using media queries in the site style sheet, but this has no effect on how you see the site on a phone, if the site will read your browser user agent as mobile.
