It is rather ironic that one of the best forums for the NIT is one of the worst as far as browsing it with the NIT. You would think it should be one of the best!
Sarcasm aside, what I am trying to say is that I think most forum users know the limitations of the NIT and having to browse an optimized forum isn't going to upset anyone.

I believe it's more than a technical problem. It's the emotional message of "your tablet doesn't cope with the real internet, that's why we need to send you to a simpler version for your simple client"... this doesn't fit well with Nokia's marketing for these devices.
The site should look the same on the Tablet as it does on any desktop PC. Never make users feel they don't get "the real thing" when browsing with their tablets.

It's just that I think that a site so devoted to the tablets should also do its best to promote them, to make them look good. - Transporting the message of "not good enough for the real internet" ist not the kind of promotion I think of

Ok, here is a complete copy of my chrome directory. This is for people comfortable with mucking with the terminal and altering your microb settings. It will screw with things like google maps and some google mashups, feel free to delete those lines from the userContent.css.

Here is what is looks like under my chrome. It's amazin what you can do with a little bit of css.
This is right after loading the main form page and the general section. I have not scrolled at all, the tops of the pages have been wiped out by the CSS.

Oooh, that screenshot looks awesome. I think I'm going to have to learn this 'css' thing. Thanks for the chrome starter-kit, brontide.

Hmmm.
This CSS thing is fascinating, if confusing.
I dabble with web design, and am sort of comfortable with CSS in that context. I never considered applying CSS to a browser. Are the two related or is this a case of an overloaded operator <css> ?
Will download and then try to read and understand!
Thanks Brontide;

You can overlay additional css command to everything, a domain, or a url. I use this to turn elements on or off as well as adjusting the site to better fit the tablet.

CSS and tables is murder on performance. Especially when your CSS is the crummy IE-friendly kind.
I advise using proper more targeted CSS selectors, seeing if the board can output non-table layout code and adding in the /IE7/ script.
I've had stunning success with this javascript "suite" all the way down to IE5.5....
The way most people have gotten themselves into using CSS these days (due to IE), you can totally see why the browser would croak on all the instructions. I cringe thinking of the thread graph*...

I'll try uploading it somewhere and then linking to it.
It makes ITT much easier to navigate on the small device.
