This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

For people who read and post from mobile devices, how could the board be better tuned for them?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Do you mean permanent changes to the site, or changes to a mobile version of the site?

If the latter, it would be easier on my BB to load and scroll if the top graphics and the left hand column were stripped out on all pages. For the home page and thread pages, stripping out the description/rules of the thread would simplify things.

Which is not to say that this board isn't easy to read on my bb, because it is.

it's not that bad, but if the top header were gone, I think that I wouldn't have to scroll over to see the posts,and they might be wider (now, ,they are 3-4 words per line)

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I can't figure out how to read white font on my iPhone. I might just be stupid.

You can't, Kevin. There's no drag and select function on iPhones/iTouches, which is what you need to be able to see the white font.

Yeah, on my mobile phone, it'd be easier to read if the left sidebar were gone, because for some reason I have to scroll through all that before getting to the posts. But whatev'.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

The side being on the right hand side would fix that..

can there be a way to make external links open in a new window?

can there be a way to make external links open in a new window?

On mobile devices, or in general?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

On the iPod Touch, I have no complaints. On the Treo, it's be nice if the top graphics went away, but that's a nitpick - this is already one of the most mobile-friendly sites I ever visit.
