Hi,

I find that the website's buttons don't work properly on the forum when using a
mobile phone. Likewise, the site's layout isn't mobile-friendly. The site really
needs an overhaul, if only to take advantage of modern web innovations. Given
how much technology has advanced, it would be entirely feasible to add web-based
modelers to the site. The POV-Ray world has been at a standstill for years; it
might be interesting to launch new projects on a new website.

Best regards.

Frantz

Absolutely agree, and moreover I have already done a few steps in this
direction:

I am ready for collaboration and open for any new ideas.
