Surpass Web Hosting Forums - Discuss a better website!

It looks good so far! Lots of broken images though. And the formatting is a bit off. But I like it

And just a side not to whoever is working on the development of this, I would be more than happy to be a beta tester to see how it looks in different handsets (I have my storm and my WinMo PPC that is no longer active on 3G but it has WiFi so I can use it at home), as well as my roommate has a ton of devices because he works for AT&T.

Hey fury, I'm the developer working on the mobile forums. As you already noticed, it's still pretty early in development. Right now I've just been using an iPhone, G1, and Tilt for testing, so I'll definitely need some beta testers with different phones once I have something more complete ready.

I get an error when posting from Mobile Safari.

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

Also... threads are hard to read in such a narrow format. Anyway the user info could be trimmed and possibly placed above the post?

I agree with H. The font size is great, but its very narrow with all the user info stuff and the avatar.

I think replacing some of the icons with regular text links (like the Thank button) would help decongest it.

I'd also like to suggest the CrackBerry mobile forums as inspiration as the are vBulletin and are laid out very efficiently.
