A plea to make the site more mobile friendly. Topic

(This is posted in the site update thread, but I don't think that anyone from site staff is reading that much....)

TZ-

I realize that the site was in need of a facelift... But please, don't leave it half done with a facelift more appropriate for 2006 than 2013. 

I know that you're aware of the impact that mobile has had in the eCommerce world.  You can't be in eCommerce without being overwhelmed with vendors marketing the latest tool to take advantage of it.

Why is WIS so unfriendly to mobile? Especially when you know how many people access it during the day, and they need to do it on their phones because so many work networks block this site.

Now, I'm an older guy, so I don't use my phone as much as the younger generation.  But I have an iphone, and my experince using this site on it is among the worst.  Links are nearly impossible to hit correctly unless you zoom WAY in, data is in old style drop downs, etc.  It's a pain. 

I'd love to see you customize this site for the iphone and android phones out there.  Heck, one of the best ways to grow would be to do an iphone app and sell games through it. 

You need to make the site more appropriate to mobile & social networking.  Make it easy to connect to other users via facebook or twitter will get more live play happening.  Let us talk about our all time Pirate teams (or yankee teams for the heathens) that we've created here on FB., and how a season plays out...

There's so much you can do.  Reach for the future.  Embrace web 2.0

Oh yeah... You need play and engine updates too.  You need to shake things up, it's pretty boring here lately for us oldtimers

Heartily agree.

I absolutely agree.  I access this site daily (and when I have an active team, it's almost all I focus on) and it's painful to work on using an iPhone.

It's incredibly frustrating via phone since you can't bold or anything like that in the forums. Plus, the "hover over" for fatigue won't show. I'd love to have it more phone friendly.

I can't post in the forums from my Kindle Fire at all. It's almost like I'm not even a member of WIS.

I agree completely on the fatigue "hover over" feature.

Apparently, they are reading the other forum.  TZ replied to that thread.

They were already working on this. 

It's good to know that they're on the ball about this, but there was no way we could know unless they tell us.
