The complexity of programming a mobile, full-board option well for iPhone/Pad and Android (at a minimum) (the site is gigantic, not just the vBulletin shell for these forums and is proprietary software making it all work together "seamlessly") is great and this is a non-profit site with little or no monies coming from its members and visitors and has a very small staff, many of them, volunteers. I'm sure improvements will be made eventually but I wouldn't hold my breath for "soon".

When DocJohn primarily accesses the site on his mobile, I'll know it is time to go all mobile

I'm thinking of getting a tablet in November, coordinating a new, "vanilla" phone (remind me when my 2-yr. contract expires in November that choosing a phone because you have "heard of" (Blackberry) the name is not a good decision), ten inch tablet, and Skype phone number and not even using my laptop anymore :-) Never mind that I can't type well on the touch screen and will have to buy an add-on keyboard for the tablet since I type way more than I text. Ah, the exigencies of evolving technologies.
