How about creating a subdomain for mobile, where all mobile users can be redirected to a phone friendly version.

I actually though of this idea before, and sort of planned it out, but I focused on the non-forum areas of the site, as those could be ported easily. In fact, most of the articles on the site could be ported with near no modification.

I actually browse this site quite a lot with my iPod touch, and zooming in and out to read text and tap hyperlinks does get irritating.

EDIT:

Here is how the site looks like on an iPhone/iPod right now:
Portrait View

Landscape View


Both feature very small text, especially portrait mode.

And here is a rather crappy mockup of what it would look like:

Please apologize for the bad scaling of the SydLexia banner. I was making this quickly in MS Paint.'

Here's a pointless photo that (attemps) shows what the example looks like on the iPod touch, taken with my DSi's camera, which managed to take a sharper photo than a dedicated digital camera:

In person, it looks very readable, and only slightly less readable on the photo.

If you wanted to know what it looks like on a mobile device:


The second one is tilted on it's side due to me directly uploading this to dropbox from my iPod.

I think a mobile domain would be better, due to it supporting more phones than just the iPhone and Android platform. Also, you have to pay to have your app on the iOS App Store.
