Looks pretty good on my blackberry (8330) on Opera. Loads much faster

I am using the new blackberry browser. It works much better than opera on the BB 9700. It is the newest one, I can't remember the version.
reb,

I had never looked at the BB browser settings before. I guess it defaults to style sheets off. I turned them on and it works.


Baseball Only and Metroplex forums are the only ones that worked though.

thanks pfidr34, I assume the replies listing comes though in black text (as opposed to the gray in screenshot above).

there have been a couple request for page navigation links at the top of the page. I'm not against this if we need them, but don't want to unecessarily clutter things. can those requesting the feature descibe to me what behavior is being performed that would make them beneficial? i've been using the site pretty heavy since Friday and the need hasn't presented itself to me during real use (i.e. not testing). personally, I am already at the bottom of the page 99% of the time when I want to go to the frist/last/next page.

Opera mini is not really touch screen friendly.
I prefer the BB browser much like pdifer. I think you could put a simple "next page" "last page" nav button under texags beta and above the subject line.
Again, not necessary, but convenient with longer threads. I'd post an image of my BB browser but not sure how to though

I like the BB browser a lot more since I checked the settings yesterday.

Not sure if everyone is seeing it right now but on the GB there is a thread that the last post by bar is rather funky lookin. I took a screen shot with my iPhone 3g that I can send if you need to see it.

On Blackberry Curve 8330, BB Browser 4.5.0:

-Light gray text is difficult to read on white background.
-Text set at size 6 is very readable.
-Baseball Other is the only forum that appears to be linked to anything.
-Thread listing page looks cluttered.
-White line shows thread title, posted by, and timestamp.
-Gray line below shows # of replies and name/timestamp of last reply, but not with consistent formatting. (Sometimes right aligned, sometimes spreading across the entire screen, etc...) The gray line takes up more room than the white, with less usefull data (in my opinion).
-Actual thread looks great (with exception to font color previously mentioned)



I pretty much getting the same result on a BB Pearl 8110

style sheets are on, I checked

I am running BB browser 5.0.0. I am still not getting the smileys for each post.

FHK, do you not get the icons on the replies page, the topics page, or both?

What she said. Only on the thread. So when reading general board threads, it appears that a vast majority of people are just posting blank posts.

Suggestion for a future release: include a drop down list (similar to what is on the full site) on each page with links to each forum. Since mobile browsing is often done with slow(er) connections, being able to eliminate superfluous page loads would be nice.

I am super excited about this. Great job!!!

One question:

I read TexAgs on my work and home computers and on my iPhone. I do not mind having to log in upon my first visit to TexAgs each day on my computers, but would like for my account to remain logged in on my iPhone. While this might be a more generic "TexAgs on the iPhone" question and not specific to the mobile site, I figured it might be a little bit pertinent to the topic at hand.

Is it possible to remain logged in on an iPhone 100% of the time and still log in from different computers simultaneously without being kicked off of one or the other?

Heck of a job so far. I have Iphone Safari 3.1

One "gripe" I have is that I have to click on images and load them in a new window. It's a bit annoying to have to load each image individually in a new window.

But very nice so far and thanks for all of the hard work. Browsing TA on my phone is 100,000% better now.

I know it's not that big of a deal. That's why gripe was in quotes.

Sorry about posting this on the GB. Just thought I'd help out the testing user base.

That time will come. Let me get one more release out and gather another round of feedback, then I'll even help shout it from the mountain top.
howdydamnit04
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Is there a timeline on the next couple releases? The first one seems to be remarkably solid for a beta and looks to be a great foundation to build on so that I will never get anything done at work.
ooshwa
How long do you want to ignore this user?
due to my juggling of other projects and the fact that I'm the only developer working on this one, I'm very hesitant to put a timeline to releases beyond just the next one.

that being said, i expect to deliver release 2 in three stages:

2.0: [expected 1/21]
user login, access to private forums

2.1: [expected 1/25]
favorite forums (for quick access), image thumbnails (user option)

2.2: [expected 2/1]
watchlist integration, thread voting

after we make sure those features are stable, we will release the site to the masses, take it out of "beta", and probably reevaluate the next feature releases based upon feedback received.

i appreciate the feedback thus far and hope each of you will continue to help me make this a successful development effort.

Doesn't seem like the number of views is incremented when a thread is clicked on

very astute observation. its funtioning as designed. release 1 was a read-only app, and did not update the database in any way. most of these behind-the-scene operations are being added right now for release 2.
