Today I have been working on making Game Courier more mobile-friendly. I have programmed most boards rendered as tables or images to resize to fit the screen on a mobile device. For this to work, the browser must request the mobile version. Tablet browsers give you the option of seeing the desktop version, and if you do, it will not automatically resize the board. I have been testing it on my Kindle Touch, and the main problem I've been having is that the Kindle's browser will resize the whole screen to fit everything in it. So if some page element makes the screen too wide, it will cause the board image to appear smaller. So I have been working on removing or changing page elements that require more screen width. I have removed file paths from the footer, and for the mobile version, I have broken up form elements into shorter lines, and I have removed the comments from the footer.

I have plans for making all boards automatically resize, and for adding links for making and reading comments to the menu.

I do not have a cell phone. If you have one, it would help me out if you would let me know how it works on your cell phone.
