    Usually when I browse The Exotic Fish, I browse from my mobile device(s) (I have the iPhone 3G and BlackBerry Bold). Granted, the website isn't all that complex, so it renders beautifully on both my iPhone and BlackBerry, but not all mobile devices have great web browsers. So my question is, if we had a wap page, how many people would use it? Also, how many people currently browse the site from their mobile device? If so, how does it look? Does it look like it does on your computer? And, if you know, please state what mobile device you're using to visit the site. Thanks. :D

    personally I browse it from my home computer? My mobile phone is (PA) pretty much used only for emergencies despite all the whistle and bells that it has...but that's just me.

    Someone on here browses on their blackberry. I can't remember who though. My phone has a full HTML browser so it shows up the same as it does on my laptop.

    I used my I-Touch to browse the forum this morning. I think making this a mobile site is a great idea...

    Thanks for the responses. Now the next question is, does anyone who visits the site from their mobile device have any issues with the way the page is rendered? If so, what kind of phone/device do you own?

    On topic, but as a side note.... if you get Adobe Device Central you can view the webpage from several different phone models. It makes a nice way to see what it looks like without having to google specs on every phone. It also has info of each phone. I think it comes with Dreamweaver..... not sure though.... it is one of those Adobe Sub-Programs that is linked to them main one.... it might even be part of Flash

    I use my Itouch and it seems to work ok. Links are typically smaller but I can still do what I need to.

    So no one has had any issues browsing the forum as it is, correct? If it works well for everyone as it is, that's good news.
