This site has lots of great content and people but I almost didn't sign up because of the format. I almost always go online via my iPhone. Would love it if this site had larger font or a mobile theme.

I'm not exactly sure what would work for an iPhone, but if someone is using a typical setup they can either zoom in or zoom out, or change the default font for a website.

Someone should be along who knows more about iPhones.

I browse on my iPhone all the time. I assure you it's not a setting or a user knowledge issue. This site simply has a font size smaller than most other sites. A mobile theme would make the site work well for all mobile devices.

Medievalist will probably find this thread. She can probably help you if anyone can.

1. This isn't a site in the way you're thinking--the forums are driven using commercial software. The makers sell an add-on product for mobile users, but it's expensive and a known problem in terms of security.

2. You can zoom in on the text.

3. Actually, the font setting is larger than most sites, not smaller, since it isn't fixed in terms of point sizes.

4. I'm visually disabled, and manage on my iPhone.

5. iOS 5 changes the way fonts are rendered; any changes we make now will be a problem in the fall.
