Congrats/thanks for this mobile app. It's easily the best of any site I use.

This was probably discussed along the way, but would it be possible to display the thumbnails instead of the IMG buttons for pictures?

I understand the desire to keep the pages as small as possible for loading...but those images are <5 kb for the most part and I think would make a better browsing experience overall. I may be biased on this one b/c I spend a lot of time on the Outdoors board and usually if someone posts pictures they are part of the story, so I think it would be helpful to see a preview of the picture without having to click on every IMG tag in the post.

Ok...you can beat me into submission now

I've been using opera browser on Droid Eris and it looks great. the only thing is the jump to bottom arrow isn't there and whenever I do quick reply I can't select an icon afterwards. other than that this looks amazing and loads blazing fast.

Seems the Stickied topics are not moving down the board once 'unstickied'

Ex - General Board, I'm still seeing 'TexAgs the vote...' and the last post was on 4/16. Using BB Curve 8900, OS 5.0x, and using BB browser as well as Opera Mini 5 Beta.

I searched and didn't find this bug or topic addressed, sorry if this is redundant info.

txaggie05, the issue had to do more with the resources necessary to "thumbnail" all those pictures in real-time. eventually i think we might offer the option per user setting, or perhaps a "show all images" button on the thread page.

WC87, the stickies issue is related to the horrible way in which the feature was implemented on the main site. we're hoping to implement a fix across both sites soon.

Thanks ooshwa...I can definitely see that being taxing on the server. Sounds like a couple of good potential solutions

Didn't read through the whole thing, but watchlist is not working for me.

iPhone OS version?

I have a question that may have been addressed in this thread a while ago, but it would take forever for me to flip through all the pages. How is the mobile site handling advertisements? It seems like anyone could just use the mobile site and not have to bother ever looking at ads ever. The reason why I bring this up is I recently began work on a mobile site and the client asked me a similar question when I showed an early version to her. It isn't a big deal at the moment because she doesn't generate a lot of advertising money. I imagine for Texags it would be a different story.

There will eventually be ads on the mobile site (possibly not for subscribers!).

Blackberry Curve 8530.
Works great, except when I reply to a thread -- I cannot see any icons to select from.

dlance, I was having this issue as well. I fixed it by turning on Javascript. It wasn't a problem with the mobile site for me; it was just a problem with me.

Site looks really good on iPod touch.

I don't see an edit button though. I found the mobile site about the same time I found the site period so I'm not sure where edit is supposed to be but I assume there is one since I see some posts that say they've been edited.
Fuzzbutt
How long do you want to ignore this user?
There's no edit on the mobile site. You have to go to the full site to edit.

not sure if the creator is aware but with trial memberships you aren't supposed to be able to post to the premium boards, but you can via the mobile site.

thanks sirhc, I'll take a look into it.

About 23,000 off those page views per day are mine.

Swyped this message.

Less a bug than a UI issue: It's very easy to double post using a mobile client. In my case, iPhong and iMaxiPad. I'm not quite sure how to fix that.

Is the mobile site f'ed up for anyone else? I get a runtime error message everytime.
