Help with reading forum on mobile devices?

Hi Brenna,

Those are interesting comments. We have in recent times placed priority 
on supporting mobile devices. For example the wiki is now mobile 
compatible (50% of users of it are on mobile).

We've failed to recruit someone prepared to pester us to get mobile 
right on the web based forum:

https://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbsforum/index.php/…

Thought has been put in (there are lots of skins to choose from), I've 
used the forum on my phone with no problems, but that's not the same as 
getting comments from a dedicated phone user.

I will go away and consider what you've said and tinker.

I guess this topic would be better discussed on the forum.
