Please, please add a link to the original site somewhere (if you did I didn't see it so please tell me where it is. >.>). I'm sure it works great for when I'm on Edge network for faster load times, but on 3G I've never had a problem loading. Plus my phone autofits and so I have to zoom in considerably to even see anything which I never had to do with the original. And then when I zoom, it autofits again so it probably isn't having the effect you want it to.

It looks great otherwise, but I don't want to HAVE to use this if I'm on my phone and have 3G. I'd like to be able to access the original site please. :)

Edit: also there does not appear to be anyway to subsribe to threads. Then again, I could just be missing it.

This is pretty nice! I don't browse from my Touch all that often, but this is pretty convenient for when I do. It makes scrolling down to the bottom of the main page (where the forums I tend to frequent are) a whole lot easier, for one, and the resized posts makes browsing through threads a lot easier.

Thank you!

Is there anyway to change it back? I come here on my phone more than my computer and it resizes everything automatically, and i have the option of whether of not i want pictures to appear already. I don't like this new layout for my phone.

Basically what Ladybug said.

I haven't been able to test it out yet, but still... THANK. YOU. This should make browsing from my phone, which I do quite frequently in the mornings, a lot easier. :D

I've actually got the opposite concern here.. Looks great but would you be able to add an option to use the mobile skin from a non mobile device? My mobile browser loads pages as if it was in firefox and I can't find a way around it.. Maybe add it in as a default skin? Smashboards Lite or something.. Thanks!

Looks much better. I had a good amount of trouble navigating it from my phone before.

I've never had any problems on the itouch, but is very easy to use. Suggestion: Make different styles like Smash Blue Mobile

The new look to the website is working great for me.

But I don't like how the thing that tells you if someone is logged in is missing. I would like to have that added.

Definitely need this to be an option rather than automatic... my hero worked perfectly before, and now I have to zoom in constantly... can you make a default mobile skin linked to your profile, with "none" as one of the options? Leaves room for future mobile skins too

I'm pretty sure that its not working on my phone. If it is, I can't tell the difference between the regular site. I have a WebOS device (Palm Pre). There is no hardware reason for this not to work, the specs of the Pre rival that of the iPhone.

We'll work on adding an opt-out system hopefully by this time next week. In the mean time, I'll work on other suggestions this weekend.

I've been using my itouch for browsing this site for a while, and adding this mobile version helps a lot. Thanks.

For those that want to opt out, Kirby King updated the announcement here with instructions on how to do so.

Kirby King said:
We've added an option to the User CP to let you disable the mobile style, if you prefer. Check User CP > Edit Options > Miscellaneous Options > Smash Boards Mobile, and check the box if you'd rather use the full version of SWF on the go.
