We've had our mobile site available by special URL for almost a year now and a number of moderators have come to rely on it. That's plenty long that if there were problems, we'd know by now.
I'm happy to announce that the mobile site no longer requires a special URL. We are using detection to give you the right site. While we've tested it ourselves and it seems to work correctly, please post in this thread if that isn't the case.
If you just want to check out the mobile site and don't have a mobile device, it is still available by direct link. Or if you are on the mobile site and don't want it, there is a link at the bottom to switch back (you will have to do this each session though; post here if that is a problem and we will look at other solutions)
Logic
We are using the role that wireless devices that are not tablets get shown the mobile site by default. This means your BlackBerry and iPhone will see the mobile site, but your iPad will not.
