I would like for the CaravelNet web chat to resize itself to fit appropriately within whatever size window it occupies. This would be handy for arranging it on a normal screen, but I mainly want this so I can view it more comfortably on my mobile device. Right now I can't view the whole thing without text being illegibly tiny.

It's difficult to format a complex site so that it looks good both on mobile and workstation at the same time. Also, the size of the text may not be identical to the size of the image (some cell phones have very high resolution) so that's not the entirety of the problem.

A mobile version of the site which you get transferred to (m.forum.caravelgames.com) would be the preferred solution, but I don't know how much of a pain it would be to implement that vs. how many people actually browse the Forum by cell phone.

I do that regularly, and the site works perfectly fine on my phone. In fact, it's even easy to use. (Not exactly as easy as on a computer, but that's inevitable.) I'd rather not see a mobile version of the site, I'm sure Caravel's resources are better spent on other things.

Indeed. My issue is with the chat page only.

Topic bump -

Has there been a mobile-friendly version of the forum already?
