New Mobile theme for the forum

[Twinkie]

We're testing a new mobile theme for the forum. We've currently tested with iPhone and Blackberry Bold, and the reaction is positive over the old mobile theme.
We need more testing done with other devices. Could people with BB Pearls and Curves please try from your device. As well as Windows Mobile and Nokia browsers.
Please report back with what device you used and whether you liked the experience or not.
Thanks.

Which we will then ignore and do what we want anyway :flipoff:

True! But I try to make it look like we care.

 

[SWest]

Well

It works great with my DynaTAC8000X

 

[2Greys]

With my HTC Touch it looks like ass, but that is pretty much anything on the interwebs.
Let you know once I get Opera

 

[J33P]

Curve 8310 - all fields are stacked on top of each other

Tried a few emulations and settings.

Yah, ummmm, ok. Welcome back to the 80's Steve.

Opera it will look normal. Touch eh, WM 6.0 or 6.1? I thought the PIE (Portable IE) was supposed to render pages like the real IE by now. Damn.

Wierd. I got an email from another user that says it's fine on a Pearl. Why would it look normal on a Bold and a Peral, but not a Curve? Nothing much different about a Curve, right?

Just got it so I assume it is 6.1, haven't looked into it yet. The tool bar renders really small but the bottom seems to be normal size.

Don't assume, Rogers doesn't offer OS updates often. It could be either version. If it's a Bell version, then no idea.

Just put Opera on it, you'll be much happier.

After using Berry's, WM devices and the iPhone, WM by far has the worst browsing experience.

Is this going to change anything for those of us that like a phone to be a phone and use a computer to surf?

Terry whatever yer talking about don't work with my string stretched between two soup tins.....:lmao:

Dunno, could be the OS I am using, I am always using the latest BETA that's out there for another carrier. I don't wait for Rogers to come out with something.

Do you have an example of what it "Supposed" to look like? Or is it supposed to look like what you would see on PC.

I can get the colors to work, but only on the MS IE Emulation. IT's no biggie for me as I rarely browse on my BB because I am impatient.

I just thought I would try it to see what it looked like to help out.

 

[SuziCrazy]

Looks like's crap on my BB 8830 from telus.

 

[Twinkie]

We'll have to update the forum base software so we can use a newer theme that's meant for all mobile devices.

As for seeing what it should look like, down at the bottom left of the forum (on your pc), switch to the IPOD theme. That's probably why it doesn't look right on the Berry's. When looking at the IPOD theme on a pc, it looks very much like a base vB theme, just squished together a bit more to fit the device.

No, else it would have already affected you.

Is there a WAP url or does the site know when a mobile device is connecting? (Very new to this mobile browsing thing)
