Ok ive been on this site for a while now, and i would really like a mobile phone version of the homepage to be available as the normal full-site takes waaaaaaaaaaaaay to long for my friends as well as my cellphone to load the home.

if it is possible could you guys please create a mobile site so that we can have evageeks on the go.

There's a few mobile plugins for wordpress that allows a visitor to switch between the "desktop" and "mobile" versions of the site (mobile would be light on images and better image scaling). I don't know about the wiki. The forum should be pretty light, I access it from my phone regularly.

EDIT: I installed a mobile plugin for the front page, it'll autodetect mobile devices and display a scaled down theme. If you have a mobile device but want the regular theme, you can go to the bottom of the page and force the regular desktop theme.

We would need to do a design/code overhaul of the entire site before that. It has been long overdue. -o-;

It's definitely a good start, but it would be nice to have a proper mobile offering. But again, we need an overhaul of the website already. I ought to do something about that.

The only problem I have is that my PSP can't open spoiler tags, though.

I've have this frustration as well. It only seems to be "worked around" on my PSP if there's quote tags nested within the spoiler tags, then the spoiler-ed information/image displays just fine.

There's no way to run 2 instances of phpbb2 from the same database, so we can't have a "mobile" version running alongside the regular one. There might be something we can code into the forum itself to look for mobile device user-agents and disable some stuff, like images maybe.

I also don't think that works for wordpress either, a lot of the settings are stored in the database so if we run another instance of wordpress, the settings would end up being identical.

The site works wonderfully on android. Pinch zoom in and out. Double tap to quickly zoom in and align text to fit on the screen. I haven't tried posting on my phone but the site's perfect the way it is using android.

Having seen the current mobile version of evageeks, is it a beta? Or an alpha? It kinda sucks.

There is no mobile version. We're just discussing the possibility. I think we don't need one, but it sounds like people have problems with the PSP.

The front page (wordpress) has a plugin that detects mobile user-agents and uses an alternate theme. Right now, nobody's put any work into that theme so it's just the default.
