Experimental mobile support for Talk.org

You may or may not have tried my new taggable web forum system Talk.org. But I have always wanted a mobile interface.

Now I have got it mostly working with my own phone the Sony Ericsson K608i. I assume it works for most other newer Sony Ericsson models as well.

Cut you please do me a favor and see if you can first of all browse it easily from your phone and then if you can post a message to a conversation. This Mobile Talk conversation would be a good place for a start.

It is just uses xhtml and a super simple handheld css profile, so there was not a lot of extra work involved. I did find that at least on the Opera Mini it displayed the google ads I have on each conversation article. I have to figure out how to disable this for mobile use.

I used the following css for disabling most unnecessary stuff:

#sidebar {display:none}
#tags {display:block}
#menu {display:none}
#toofast {display:none}
#password_section {display:none}
#nick_field_link {display:none}
.count {display:none}
