Mobile forum?

smashing · 09-13-2005, 04:18 AM

I'd liked to know if there's any existing sites where I could use my pocket pc to access the forum? If not, is there any mobile solution down the pipeline?

Can't you just visit the forums using PocketIE, with image scaling on so that it fits the screen? I may be missing something here, of course, but I'm fairly confident that I've visited this site on a PPC without any great problems.

There's fundamentally no problem using PIE. The only snag is that the images (avatar and banner) are all over the place.

Oh! Please don't go there. Asia is too diverse to be lumped easily into one category. There are plenty of places in Asia, where even residential phone-lines are a rarity.

Singapore is a pseudo-first world country, and is model after Japan and S. Korea to allow connection at almost everywhere. That reason is to slave us into even higher pace of life, as if it's not as pressurising as it is.

Anyway, just wanted to know if there's a forum that's basically just simple text format (without the big banners and avatar), so that it would be mobile friendly, that's all...

If it helps any, this is a site designed for mobile-ifying websites in general:

http://www.iyhy.com/

You don't have to sign up to use it.

Also, I wonder if Opera has a Pocket PC version yet. No doubt some folks here would debate about their desktop version

, but I've heard lots of good things about their small-screen rendering.

Peace & Luv, Liz

Hmm... I thought Netfront is based on Opera? I need to check it out again.

Anyway, thanks for the link for iyhy.com. It's even more chaotic using this link on the forum.
