Apparently, Google is changing how pages/sites get indexed - requiring sites to simplify and be more adaptable to mobile users or the site plummets in search ranking:

http://www.electronista.com/articles/13/06/12/noted.changes.include.unplayable.videos.on.mobile.bad.spider.handling/" rel="nofollow - http://www.electronista.com/articles/13/06/12/noted.changes.include.unplayable.videos.on.mobile.bad.spider.handling/

Is this any reason for concern for the forum app? I would think not because there are already mobile pages of the forum, however I would like to not make assumptions.

This includes downranking incorrect handling of the "googlebot-mobile" crawler.

Comments?

I haven't done a lot of research into the new changes by Google, but I doubt it would affect Web Wiz Forums as it does not redirect based on if it is a mobile device or not, it simply displays the same page in a mobile friendly format.

Videos may be an issue, but for most people that issue would lay with YouTube, if there is any.

I would say there is a high chance Web Wiz Forums will be fine. If not I am fairly sure Bruce will be quick to fix any issues caused from this.
