 |
|
I was just wondering if anyone has run into problems posting from cell phones. I have the Sprint HTC Touch and when ever I post I can only see one letter (nothing previous) so its kinda of hard to tell what you have typed and not typed. I dont know if it is just me or the phone or web site. Thanks for any thoughts

It's the website, not your phone. There's a problem with the CSS for the text boxes. It formats correctly in browsers, but it comes up all black on mobiles.
For now, this isn't something I can easily fix. But, this will be corrected whenever we get a new forum. |

I'm looking at possibly upgrading the forum to phpbb 3. Assuming it doesn't cause huge problems with the forum, because I have HEAVILY modified the forum's code, the new forum shouldn't have this problem. |

I was wondering how that guy posted while on top of cotton belt!
There's a trick with css you can do to display certain items in mobile phones, but if you're working on a whole new forum anyway I guess it wouldn't matter... |

Well it has to be done from within the code, so WR would be the only one who could do it...and he probably knows more about it than I do anyway.
All I know is that after not being involved in webmastering for like 5 years and now getting back into it alot has changed! CSS is changing the way pages are developed...
I believe it's in the declaration...can't remember off the top of my head.
It's here somewhere: http://www.w3.org/ |

Yeah I use a Motorola Hint now for mobile access. I getblack text on black background while I'm typing. A lot of buttons are also black on black so I kinda just do a trial and error clicking buttons for submit and preview. Also the "quote" button isn't active on my phone's browser.
I was using a Palm Treo and the site worked flawlessly on it. But the phone part of the that particular line of Treo really sucked and I was tired of carrying two phones so I switched to the Hint. (which I love by the way)
So the site is functional using my phone but I may end up with a few more posts with lots of typo's and random characters till I get good at it. |

Not positive but I think it uses a version of it. It has Openwave 7.2 as the browser. |
