Currently, wikia doesn't work very well on mobile phone (eg. background is the same colour as the text). Will the new darwin update be optimized for phones or will the normal wikia be?

My solution to the dynamic sizing problem which in my case affected clickable images was to put transparent padding images in the table. However, this means the mobile skin is changing or ignoring the sizing parts of image markup.
Thats great!
This is still a problem... My phone is old, granted, but it shouldn't be freezing up every time I scroll, should it?
There could be an option to make page content hidden by default, leaving just the headings. Then you click the heading to expand it, and the content is then rendered.
Another easy optimisation is having a mobile version of images that are already saved at a much smaller size, to reduce the amount of data to pull from the server as well as rendering time. This is simple stuff, but makes a big difference.

Let's start off with: this thread is 2 years old. Things have changed considerably since then, between the mobile skin (Mercury, which was not around 2 years ago) and portable elements like Portable Infoboxes that are optimized in the mobile skin. Even on an older phone, using the mobile skin does exactly as you describe in the last paragraph. The behavior in the second paragraph is default for the community apps, but is being considered for the mobile skin.

Ok. I'm a bit confused then as to why my phone struggles with it. I can load up a youtube video page in a few seconds and have it scroll smooth as silk, but a mostly text wiki page has trouble. Could there be a bug? It might help to force an overflow-x hidden on it and prevent horizontal scrolling. I noticed my iPhone thinks the wiki page is a lot wider than the display. Other than that, I'm at a loss.
Are you looking at the mobile version, or the desktop version on your mobile? Because there should be 0 horizontal scrolling on the mobile skin.
Mobile version. It appears the 'Community' section at the bottom is at fault. On screen it shows the Overview section with About and Terms of Use, but to the right of it is a Community section which shows Community Central and on the far right, Media Kit and Contact. I'll send you a screenshot once I find time to sync my phone.
I got my friend to try it on his mobile, and it's working fine. Mine is running one of the older versions of safari, so I don't expect it to be supported at this point :P
