WMK, please help ... well maybe it's just me!!

I often find myself wishing there was a mobile version of this site.

I do not access the site from work and I use my PDA/Phone. many sites have a mobile version that works better for viewing on a phone.

Is this a possibility?

    I try to use my iPhone but it's tough. I wish it had a mobile version as well. I'm in the car a lot as a passenger and it would sure help me pass the time.

    I use the site 95% on my phone (using it now as I type). I find it fast and can navigate just fine. I hate mobile views of sites as content is usually scaled down. Try getting opera mini and you'll never look back. Love the zoom feature btw.

    I use my iPhone all the time to get info off the site, but I don't use it to post pictures. I also think that having a wireless connection or being in a 3g network would solve some of your connection issues. If you don't mind enlarging your page to make it easier to read, you should be just fine. Certainly don't recommend reading it while driving, but at times when you don't have computer access, it does the trick. I love having access out by the grill in the palm of my hand.

    Recognize this post???? :whistle:

    I use my i-phone a fair amount as well. It sure beats not having access at all. My only frustration is I have a tendency to tap the poster instead of the post. Funny thing is it usually seems to be Celtic Wolf. I can't figure if hes holding his hat cause of the wind or he just made a big mistake and he's holding his brain.

    Just put Opera Mini on the Blackberry. It's not perfect, but much better than what was there!! It makes this forum readable!! :ohmy:

    Thanks

    While it seems that a lot of people do use their PDAs, to me the worst problem is the same one I have here....no next button for the next message in the thread. For instance, on an iPhone in the email all I have to do to read the next email is it the down arrow. This forum is very much a click fest.

    I use the iphone a bit too (on wi-fi)- the fiddly bit is the index pages/back to index.

    If you have an issue with Next post try another view - I use flat view, like the post with the pic above.

    PS I occasionally use Opera mini on my work cellphone (nokia 6300) and it's hard but much better than the browser they make the default.

    I'm an Opera user anyway and the synch function is pretty handy, though of course the iPhone gets left out of that!
