I took some time to figure out what we'd need for a mobile version of the stie. Please provide comments here. Keep in mind that this isn't a replacement of the site, it's just a simpler way to get our fix while on our smartphones.
Purpose
Provide access to FutureRP players who want to maximize their ability to communicate with other players as well as continue to grow their characters while they are away from their computers.
Priorities
1. Facilitate communication between players
2. Facilitate character growth
3. Facilitate guild participation
Site Outline
User is not logged in
Login
User is logged in
Simple homepage with Notifications and Warnings* box from player home and a list of links:
Official Forums
* If it is possible to only show raids/messages in this box for the mobile site, I think that would be best, but if not, we need the notifications and attack log.
Yes I'm aware of how nerdy this sounds.

Simple homepage with Notifications and Warnings* box from player home and a list of links:
Official Forums
o Remove moderation from mobile site
o Minimize display of forum threads
§ Display only the poster’s name, not their user image, ranking, signature, etc.
§ Display image placeholders for images above a certain size. This could then automatically link to the URL of the image so that the user could view it in their browser if they wished.
§ Retain links to edit and quote but remove links to and delete.
o Provide means of posting to the forums
§ Currently the rich text editor is not recognized (at least on my Android device) as a text box, so I cannot type in the forum.
o Provide a jump box with all links –OR- provide a link to the home page, board index, and current board.
Guild Forumso Same as Official Forums
Player Chato I think that the current mobile chat is great!
o Provide a jump box with all links –OR- provide a link to the home page.
Inboxo Streamlined inbox with just the list of messages and the ability to read/reply to them.
o Same issue as with the forums, the box isn’t recognized as a text box.
o Provide a jump box with all links –OR- provide a link to the home page.
Attacko Streamlined SKL. This is already pretty streamlined, so it will just need to fit into the window size to be consistent with the rest of the site.
o Provide a jump box with all links –OR- provide a link to the home page, current map, and bank.
Current Mapo This may not work very well in the mobile site, but if it will work, this would be just a streamlined version of the page.
§ Display map navigator and that would be about it.
o Provide a jump box with all links –OR- provide a link to the home page, place listing, and bank.
Place Listingo Streamlined place listing
§ Remove # of Players and rating
§ Display a link to “Go” directly from the listing
o Provide a jump box with all links –OR- provide a link to the home page, current map, and bank.
Skillso Streamlined skills page
§ Is it possible to display only the skills that the player has trained in?
§ Display the option to cast the skill right next to the skill rather than having to view it and then cast. For those you cast on others, have the player box display by default as well.
§ Remove skill upgrades/training as this can be done on the full site.
o Provide a jump box with all links –OR- provide a link to the home page, current map, and attack page.
Banko Streamlined bank page
§ Information, Deposit or Withdraw, and Deposits Left for Today boxes only
§ Remove Funds transfer
o Provide a jump box with all links –OR- provide a link to the home page, current map, and attack page.
War Roomo Streamlined war room with a list of raids
§ Update outgoing raid box to add a button to join next to the raid name each raid
o Remove Chat Box, Raid History, and Details page.
o Provide a jump box with all links –OR- provide a link to the home page.
Notifications*o Streamlined notifications page
o Provide a jump box with all links –OR- provide a link to the home page.
Attack Log*o Streamlined attack log, but only incoming attacks.
o Provide a jump box with all links –OR- provide a link to the home page.
Logouto Just ‘cause it’s good to have.
o Redirect to the other home page.
* If it is possible to only show raids/messages in this box for the mobile site, I think that would be best, but if not, we need the notifications and attack log.

Doesn't work on mine either, recognizes it as an image

It's broken for me too. I think it should degrade into a normal text box. It's actually already supposed to do that.
