We haven't used Drupal much, and we're curious how it looks on different systems and on different browsers.
Firefox on Windows and Linux seem to work, and I'm writing this post on the Blazer browser for PalmOS (which doesn't really look like much, and takes forever to load, but if I turn off styles it's functional.)
Does anyone have any problems with how the site works or renders?
It looked fine tested in IE7 at home, and even IE6 seems to handle it nicely. (I know, weird, right?) Opera on Windows also seems to display everything correctly.
Safari? Konqueror? Lynx? Other crazy browsers I don't know about?

It seems to work fine in Safari for Windows. Just thought I'd let you know.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot they put out Safari for Windows now. o_0
Ah well, good to know. Thanks!

Lynx looks... like lynx. Links, however, renders everything, including the side panels, with the right spacing.
Surprisingly, NSR still looks fine on Crazy Browser.
Text isn't wrapping around to fit screen size, so I'm getting really really wide pages in the forums (specifically the Copyright blog post), but otherwise it looks good.
Ah, that sounds like it's a problem with the CSS for the
tag. Probably IE6 (IE5?) not understanding the CSS declarations.
Ah, yes, that seems it be it. IE6 farks on the word wrapping here too. I'll see if I can figure that one out. Thanks. :)

Firefox looks perfect at both 1152 and 1280. I like it.
hmm...
Not sure if it's intentional, but NSR looks really good on IE for Windows Mobile.
Everything is columnized, but overall everything quite easy to access.
SHAZAM!
Yeah, mobile browsers tend to take elements and simply stack them, to support their tiny amount of horizontal real estate (and the fact that it's a pain to scroll horizontally). Since the NSR theme uses all s, everything should be rearranged and stacked nicely.
However, I am considering some form of m.notsorandom.com for mobile browsers. Basically a 100%-width theme with a minimum size of, say, 240px (the smaller dimention of smaller screens) and with a very, very simple stylesheet. Check out http://m.facebook.com to see more or less what I'm talking about.

I would appreciate something like that - Blazer for PalmOS is more capable than most, say, phone browsers, but it's still limited to like 320px wide (unless I tell it to intentionally mess with the stylesheets). Most big-name sites have some simpler mobile version, and the main page autodetects browser capabilities to redirect (although there should be an easy way to opt-out of that, in the case of incorrect detection :p)
Ok. I've got the subdomain check working. http://m.notsorandom.com
Something to be aware of: we purchased a signed SSL certificate for the site 'www.notsorandom.com'. What this means is that your browser will trust https://www.notsorandom.com as a valid secure connection without complaining. This certificate does not apply to any subdomains, so it's possible that your browser may complain while trying to do certain things through the mobile version (which is 'm.notsorandom.com' as opposed to 'www.notsorandom.com'). If this becomes an issue I may consider purchasing an SSL certificate for that subdomain as well.
