this is pretty sweet although taking a dump, driving a six speed, and surfing jk-forum mobi sounds like it might bad difficult. - KY

Awesome... I just added this to my mobile. As far as hitting this site while "dropping the kids off at the pool"... What else would a person do during the half hour after lunch? :rotflmao1:

Thank you, WOL!
I am totally tethered to my Treo & while I was able to view jk-forum via its web browser before-this is so much better. I'm on it right now! Now I need to get an extended life battery.

I certainly appreciate the e-mail yesterday with the link.
Although we're still on the Edge network down here (no 3G yet), it's pretty fast and a big improvement.

And I just edited this post from my mobile.

Many thanks

but i get "your device does not currently have any Browser COnfiguration Service Book Entries... " :dontknow2:

time to call verizon, cause I do Want this on the BB!!! :clap:

You can log into the Verizon Blackberry site with your account and resend your service books. That should do it. You may also be able to request them to be resent from your phone.

Look at the Crackberry forum, there's a ton of help there for the taking!

I have been using my iPhone to browse the full site for months now.

This mobile version is great!! In fact I'm writing this on my iPhone.

Can I make a couple suggestions,
I know it's a cut down version but perhaps you can let users choose if they want images to be displayed right away or by click. Because with a decent connection opening another page for an image is just a bit inconvenient. Please!!! :)

Also if you could enlarge the page number links. Easier for thumb clicking. :)

Great work though!!!

The sub-categories don't highlight when navigating to select.

Is that just my phone?

Dammit Eddie, I already spend enough time fiddling with my Blackberry. Seeing how much I frequent the site, my time away from the computer was supposed to be time away from the forum...but then I discovered the mobile website. Now I'm here all the time.

It really is awesome. Every other forum I've frequented, when on the go, was slow and usually I couldn't search easily. This one really comes in handy and I love it!

It isn't an app, with os 3.0 you can save a web fav (bookmark) to the home page. Then it will save a thumbnail of the saved page. :thumbsup:

You could also do that even before 3.0. I have had it on my home screen since I got my iPhone. Makes it alot easy to find this great site.

What would you expect the iPhone App to do that you can't do on the mobi site? :thinking:

The main advantage that I can think of is that it would actually fit properly on the screen. Maybe live trip posts with GPS coordinates built in and pictures from the phone?

JKinmarana

09-30-2009, 07:37 AM

My ex kept the computer so it is so awesome that I can easily access this forum on my old blackberry pearl and it runs fast. If it were not for the mobile version I would probably not be a member. Thanks so much for having the foresight to include mobile users.

The Mobi site rocks and have been using it since it launched. Is there a way to subscribe to forum threads on the mobi site that will send thread email updates with thread links to the Mobi site instead of the JK-forum site? When i get emailed thread or daily updates the links in the email take me out JK-Forum which have to be viewed with a browser on the iPhone. The main site takes awhile to load on an iphone browser as opposed to the Mobi site which loads almost instantly. Just a thought.
