Do you all view Bitcointalk on you PC? I have tried to read thorugh the mobile phone, but it becomes an endless hortizontal scrolling.
Do you have any tips how to mingle on Bitcointalk with my phone?
I rarely use my phone for posting activities except to review the latest information, so even if you have activated the rotation of the phone for horizontal mode but we find it uncomfortable to zoom to read words and typing in mobile keywords is very annoying.

I found an extension for the firefox browser to change the appearance of the bitcointalk website to be mobile, I think the extension works well to change the display to be responsive for mobile. The owner of the extension is Fahbil also a user of the bitcointalk forums so I'll quote the main thread that was posted.

Note : I've never used this extension because I'm a PC user, so please research before you install the extension.
