So I tried putting another google ad on the message boards - this time a small one.
The last time I tried to use a full-sized ad it really screwed up the display.
This ad appears to be working, but the main site doesn't look right.
The buttons are too tiny and the screenshots are HUGE!
I will try to fix this but any feedback/suggestions are welcome.

Re: Mobile Site Needs Work
I checked both the mobile site's forum and main site and didn't notice any real issues with the Google Ad. The main site is slightly off center because of the ad but it is very minimal and I wouldn't have noticed if you wouldn't have made this post. The forum worked fine and I had zero issues (I didn't even see the ad).
One thing I'd suggest on the mobile site is making the screenshots clickable so people on their phone can see the full sized image if they desire. The screenshots are so tiny now that I can barely make them out. I know I can zoom in but it still doesn't look right. An option to view the full size screenshot would be helpful on the mobile site.

Re: Mobile Site Needs Work
Thanks for the feedback Rev. I was just mucking around with things and I made some progress toward getting it a little more mobile-friendly. I'll try to do a little more each day. This will also improve my google rankings.
Love the idea of clicking on a screenshot to bring it up full screen. I'll put that on my to-do list.

Why do you keep trying to install more malware delivery systems on your site?

Re: Mobile Site Needs Work
That's not my intention - believe me! I'd like to think Google is trying to clamp down on stuff like that.
The GoogleAds do generate some money, but I will try to keep them to a minimum.

Re: Mobile Site Needs Work
I was able to modify the forums so the full site gets wide ads, and the mobile site gets small ones.
The ads are at the very bottom. Let me know if you run into any issues.
Thanks

Re: Mobile Site Needs Work
The mobile site entry page could use the links to Amazon and Ebay, if you still get something for us clicking through for our purchases to support the site. I had to go to go looking on mobile.

Re: Mobile Site Needs Work
Oh, you mean the generic amazon/ebay icons that take you to the site? Yes, I can add those!
Thanks for the feedback and keep using my links!

Re: Mobile Site Needs Work
I put the ebay/amazon links on the front of the mobile site for your convenience!
Thanks for using them.
