Testing phase done and RacketBoy installed the mobile theme yesterday.
It's not a 3rd party plugin, it's a mobile theme/skin. The theme should automatically detect a mobile browser and load by default allowing you the choice to switch back to the full version.
If anyone notices any bugs with it, let me know and I'll try to find the fix before passing it on to Racket.

I was using it today - I could only switch pages using the bottom "#", the top didn't load.

I like it -although the "view new posts" option isn't available that I could find.

It is. Click the magnifying glass at the top it's in there.

I've been meaning to suggest this for awhile but keep forgetting. A locked thread that has links to all the front page articles that a mod could bump when a new article is added. I'm sure i'm not the only one that jumps straight in to the forums and never notices new articles.

It looks good! I got on my phone this morning and was pleasantly surprised to see it compatible with my phone!

Could you elaborate? I am not sure I understand what you are describing.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I'm a little confused too. The main page of RB shows all the newest articles.

It sounds like flexwood is asking for a dedicated thread (in General Gaming?) that has links to all the main RB articles?

There is another way so a Thread does not have to be continually updated ever time a new Article is published. Maybe include the Browse Categories box on the very Front page? It doesn't appear until one of the published articles is clicked.

You guys know that you can just click the logo up top to go to the main page, right? And there is already a link for "recent posts" right by it. These are two things that already are.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?
