Excellent! Especially appreciated right now while I'm travelling.

The >> thing doesn't seem to work on my Crackberry, though -- it tkes me to the top of the thread. Not a big deal.

Thanks for setting it up, Alex: you rock like Gibraltar

Confirmed. It's a bug and am working on the fix.

NatCh · 08-08-2008, 04:28 AM

Thanks, Alex, I note that it seems to be partially working now.

Alexander Turcic · 08-08-2008, 04:37 AM

Just partially? I thought I had this fixed today...

NatCh · 08-08-2008, 06:52 AM

Yeah, it's a bit hit or miss, but it does seem to be working more and more as I bounce around, so that makes me think it may be some sort of weird CrackBerry caching issue.

In any case, you still rock!

Hmm I haven't tried on my BB yet, but I will when I am at home tonight. Do you use the built-in browser or Opera Mini? I recommend the second one...

I just pulled the mobile version up on my Touch for the first time today. WOW! It is wpnderful. Great job!

acidzebra · 08-14-2008, 10:28 AM

I once again tested on my BB8820 and all works, including the >> links which are REALLY handy, by the way. Thanks!

Posting from my Kindle. Will post pics later.

Alexander Turcic · 08-14-2008, 01:55 PM

Wow, those pics are *greatly* appreciated! As are any other pics of your mobile devices visiting MR you guys can post here.

Thanks again.

We are going to roll out the next beta this weekend; it will allow you to customize certain parts of the mobile editions for your device.

Haven't tried any new features yet, but here are some pics from an iPhone. You scroll a page by pushing(flicking) it upward, so there aren't any "next pages" on these pics (till you reach the bottom of whatever was deemed "one page").

Much appreciated, thank you!! Admittedly, it's not fully iPhone-friendly yet; but we'll work on that at a given time.

Oh, I haven't found any complaints! I was just explaining the pictures I posted. It's GRRRREAT, to quote Tony the Tiger!

Well, I've been using the Mobile version pretty regularly on my Imate KJam & Nokia N800 over the last few of weeks and have to say that it looks a ton better then the old mobi skin ever did on my phone.

I've found that the one aspect of the Mobile version that really I miss on the normal site is that all the posts are rendered on one page.

This makes it really hand when its a topic with a lot of posts spread over a long period of time and you can quickly scroll back to see what someone replied too even if its a few posts back. Having to go back page by page can be a bit of a pain at times.

Edit - D'oh ! I just realised after I posted and went back and checked that the mobile version does split the posts over different pages but its so smooth that I'd not really noticed it.

I've been using it on my Treo for the past four days and have no problems that I can find.
