I am glad to see this CSS refreshening of the Slash looks, but I was *very sad* to see that there is STILL no automatic detection for mobile browser support! I tried with my AvantGo, Pocket IE, my phone's Openwave UP.Browser and Netfront browsers and NONE of these are supported properly.
To make things even worse the CSS version of Slashdot is not as compatible anymore with these mobile browsers as they are not so CSS-capable as desktop browsers are. In other words: sh*t.:(
What I need is a special mobile version of Slashdot that loads AUTOMATICALLY when the 10-15 most popular mobile browsers hit the slashdot.org site.
I KNOW of this URL. But this looks like a freaking WAP piece of shit. What I want is a PROPER HTML mobile site that LOADS AUTOMATICALLY when it detects a mobile browser.
"Still"? C'mon we haven't even launched this. You could at least wait until ten minutes after it launches before complaining that we haven't made life easier for mobile browsers yet.

http://slashdot.org/palm [slashdot.org] is hardly satisfactory compared to AvantSlash, which is now broken.
Running http://slashdot.org/ [slashdot.org] through AvantGo just plain DOESN'T work - too many links.
