-[DE]- Never Looked So Good on Mobile
If you ever tried to use the DE website on a mobile device, you probably noticed it was completely designed for desktop, and was extremely inconvenient to use on such a small screen. This is because the forum software we use doesn't really support mobile themes very well, so the entire site was the same way.
Well, that has all changed. The entire site is now mobile-friendly, to take advantage of the convenience of a portable device without losing any function or design.
If you're interested in how websites work on mobile devices, read on.
There are two methods for mobile optimization, one is to use a completely different website, or subdomain and have it the entire site only work on mobile. Many large websites do this, such as YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, etc. They usually have it forward to m.example.com or mobile.example.com.
The other (and proper way, if a smaller scale site) is to change certain elements of the structure and design of the site depending on the screen size. This is called responsive design and is a really cool feature of modern browsers. You can see the fluidity of this in action if you resize your browser window down to the thinnest it can go. Pretty cool.
Anyway, there might be some hiccups here and there around the site as I continue to tweak it. If you find anything, post here.
Social Media
We also have official Facebook and Twitter accounts, if you weren't aware. You can find the links to those in the header of the site now. Go like and follow those, because why not? We post news and other stuff there, which is helpful for those casual members that don't check the forum often.
