Mobile device support

Just a fat, creepy old pervert.
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.

Hope TUSCL will join in soon.
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.

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.
