Mobile Edition?

[Idaho Jarhead]

I know absolutely nothing about what it takes to do something like this, but it sure would be cool to get a mobile version of BladeForums! It is just too cumbersome and extremely painful to load it on my phone.

So how about it?

You might want to think about upgrading to a BlackBerry; it works just fine on mine.

All one needs is a different skin for the forums.

You can also make surfing easier by disabling images, signatures and avatars in your user cp

OR

Use the default read-only version for PDA's

When the page loads, click on the PDA link.

I have no trouble viewing BF on my iPod Touch.

I have a blackberry curve, can't get much more upgraded than that. Thanks for thinking of me though.

Seriously though, it is super slow. I didn't know about the pda read only though. I will give that a shot.

Perfect!! That is what I was looking for. Thank Nordic Viking! :thumbup:

but I sometimes check BF on the go using Opera mini - loads quite fast over gprs

How do I access that from my Blackberry?

I tried that (and I also tried http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/archive/index.php), but I got:

HTTP Error 503 Service Unavailable. The server is currently unable to handle your request due to a temporary overloading or a maintenance of the server. Please try loading a different page.

I don't know if this a Bladeforums issue or an AT&T/Blackberry issue.

Success! It turns out I had a typo in the address.

I have bookmarked the page and now can load it with no problem at all.

Thanks.
