Any chance that the mobile device support could be extended to the discussion boards and the blog and article comments, and privat mail? The discussion boards at least work, though it isn't ideal; the images take up a bunch of room, and the reply box takes a lot of horizontal scrolling.
The response boxes for blog and article comments, and private mail, on the other hand are not useable on my phone; Safari doesn't like the editing box you're using.
I'm completely aware that this is probably a very low priority for the site, but if it's on your radar at all, I hope you'll consider working on it.
Thanks for listening.

I absolutely gave up viewing the Discussion section with my Smartphone - it was impossible to navigate full size. The good news is that more & more sites are becoming mobile-friendly. Hope TUSCL will join in soon.
I agree that there is always room for improvement with tuscl but compared to stripclublist.com this site is a masterpiece.
I just got a droid... look for fun stuff soon
Steve Jobs On Why The iPhone Doesn’t Allow Unsigned Apps: They Don’t Want A Porn Store
Today, during a Q&A session at Apple’s iPhone 4.0 Developer preview, gdgt co-founder Ryan Block asked Steve Jobs a question many of us have wondered for years: “Are there any plans to allow unsigned applications on the iPhone?†His response:
You know, there’s a porn store for Android. You can download nothing but porn. You can download porn, your kids can download porn. That’s a place we don’t want to go – so we’re not going to go there.
The answer — that the iPhone will not allow for unsigned apps — does not come as a surprise. But Jobs’s reasoning behind it was certainly interesting to hear. Because it’s a clear example of Apple’s hypocrisy.
For years, iTunes has sold songs with explicit lyrics and movies with graphic nudity. Further, as we’ve pointed out numerous times, the iPhone comes with Safari. The web has quite a bit of porn on it. Hell, many porn sites have even launched HTML5 versions that are optimized for the iPhone. Yes, parents can disable access to Safari with parental controls, but Apple could easily add a similar parental control setting to restrict running unsigned applications, too.

With the fast growing use of Smart Phones, it would be great to have a site version of TUSCL optimized for smart phones. It wouldn't be a separate app. I have a couple of these from different websites and they work quite well. Don't know if this is possible though.
Works great on my Blackberry!
Founder: Sweet! Thanks! If you need an iPhone user to take a look at something, let me know. :)
Drippy:
Most of what I'm seeing as problems looks like it could be done almost exclusively by changing the CSS for mobile devices, providing a custom CSS file as a menu option, or creating a separate set of pages for mobile devices. Since it looks like TUSCL is using PHP on the back end, rather than static pages, there's a fourth option that combines that last two.
The first one is less intrusive, but can produce some goofy results on those devices that don't properly handle the "Handheld" media type, especially if they don't have an option to use the standard media type instead of the Handheld one. Safari on my iPhone appears to do so, mostly, but there aren't a lot of sites, that I go to anyway, that use that functionality. Instead, they appear to use one of the last three options.
Sounds like founder is doing nothing but downloading porn, according to Steve Jobs that is... ;)
Works great with my Google phone. What I'm using now
