Hey guys I'm excited to announce that............. a mobile version of Ranger Scene is underway! We will be wrapping up the new help section early this week and as promised start on the mobile version of this site as well as contests.

Now I know some of you with blackberrys, and maybe other phones are probably saying "but I can already view mbs on my phone". That is correct but I'm sure it is far from user friendly. I would like to see us begin to offer apps for those of you with Droid, iphones, or even windows mobile but a mobile version of the site is the first step, and the most cross platform compatible.

I need a little help from those of you that will use this version.

-We need testers. Please let me know if you would be interested in helping me test the mobile version. The more the better!
-Browser your phone uses
-Screen Resolution
-Lastly other mobile sites you like to use on your phone

As with most mobile versions of sites the features will be limited. Here are the features currently going into the Beta Version.

-Forums new threads, and posting
-Private messages new messages and replies
-Chatroom

Comments and questions welcome!

Hey guys looking for your help. Before I finish the style and add all the back end code I made sort of a rough draft for you guys to test on your phone. I want you to see how you like it and to let me know if you have any suggestions. After all this is for all of you! It is lacking the final styling that will make it appear as a mobile app but what I'm mainly focusing on is user friendliness. I tested it on my android powered phone and it seems really easy to use so far.

In your mobile phone go to the address

For those of you who don't have a smart phone but would like to check it out anyway I set up a preview with a virtual phone so to speak.

Looks good so far. It loads alot quicker on my blackberry and easier to navigate.

Thanks Todd!

You can now send and respond to PMs on your mobile device please check it out and let me know what you think so far!

Baha,
If I click on the "mail" tab and then click on "new message" it says page not found. Also if I click on "forums" and then "latest posts" it says page not found. If I go under "forum categories" all 5 tabs take me to the "tech" section. I am using the blackberry browser. Other than that it is working well.

Todd you are a great tester! I forgot to mention the forums aren't quite working on it yet lol I did fix the new message issue you pointed out!

Thanks again man hopefully I'll have the forums at least viewable by the end of the week!

Tonight's update, it's getting really close!

It's getting very close, I hope to have the rest finished up soon. I'll update this thread when I finish please let me know your feedback. Also what I plan to do is set this as pre 1.0 and after a few weeks of feed back(while I get started on the contests) I'm going to clean it up and make it look better based on your feed back. This will be version 1.0.
