i'm all for a mobile version (and ron knows this), but i think if we get one, a ground rule must be implemented.

Anyone who uses sms speak gets instabanned for at least two weeks. And repeat offenders get fingers cut off

Seriously, though. I can't tell you how often I want to pop into the forums and see what's up, but end up not doing it because I have to do so by visiting a site built for a desktop browser on my phone

Use Operamini. And if data is an issue, turn off images. 18KB's a page and it's a damnside faster than Android Browser

Cool, just a thought, have no idea about the implementation, but rather than having a mobile version of the forums, an application such as the Blackberry Facebook or Twitter apps which access the website data and present it in a format better for a mobile device would be great.

Doesn't Opera Mini work well enough? You can set to mobile view IIRC.

You don't need mobile view.

True. I use it in normal mode on my old 9300, but he was complaining about scrolling as well, which mobile view would reduce to vertical scrolling only IIRC.

I just experienced something very interesting on one of the bike forums I visit. While posting a reply, I managed to do a double post- something which hasn't happened in a very long time. Purely accidental, of course. So the forum tells me that I've made a duplicate post and that I'll be redirected to the thread, which of course saved me from the double post.

So I dunno how difficult something like that would be to implement over here, but we could use something like that.

That's a built-in feature in vBulletin.

In the tech threads it warns you if there has been another post before your most recent one, so that helps with double posting. It's disabled in the chill section, however, which is consequently where most double posting happens. Ron could technically enable it in the chill threads, but then I'd be forced to spam his Bookface wall with lame jokes for the rest of his life.

Agreed - I would help you mousey. In the chill section it doesn't matter if someone posts before you - what is being said is often not even related to the other post anyway. And if there is a double post - there is that little edit button. I would love a delete button though :twisted:

Shame Tribble, I have one of those, will send it to you!

Oh thank you Lancelot :love7:

You are my hero
