Another feature request: Optimization for mobile devices, especially font size (currently, the font size appears tiny and by default the text is unreadable)
I believe that should be relatively easy. The start of the source of this page currently looks like this
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <!-- Nonzero1.0 by nodethirtythree design http://www.nodethirtythree.com missing in a maze --> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>OpenEuphoria: Forum: Suggestions for improving the forum</title> <meta name="keywords" content="" /> <meta name="description" content="" />
From my recent research you don't need most of that any more, that nodethirtythree link is dead, the keywords and description could no doubt be improved, it should be more like:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en" > <head> <meta charset='utf-8'/> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"/> <title>OpenEuphoria: Forum: Suggestions for improving the forum</title>
For the tiny text, the missing viewport is the most significant thing.
For the difference it makes, you can (/can you) compare http://phix.x10.mx/licence.php (new) with http://phix.x10.mx/licence0.php (old)
[I am not claiming that adding a viewport will instantly make any site mobile-friendly, but it's a start.]
I am not adamant or certain of going utf-8 (I just copied this from one of my samples), we may need to stay with 8859 for legacy posts.
No doubt Greg will chip in.
