Viewing Cricketweb from a Mobile Device

Yeah not sure how it works but we have that option as a different skin on PC. Even automatically shows that it was posted from a mobile device, though you can delete this. Would be nice if CW was able to do this as well. Its a real pain accessing it from a non-PDA phone.

I went to Crackberry, the official forum of blackberry and they have an address specifically for mobiles - CrackBerry Mobile From there we can enter forums BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com and view threads in a convenient format in the mobile YouTube anyone? - BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com

I have bold. It is browsable but not as easy as it can be. It is pretty inconvenient to scroll the large page.

May be able to view from a blackberry one way or another without wanting to pull your hair out, but its incredibly annoying with a small Motorola z9. I was actually going to start a thread on this pretty soon here.

Was going to say this myself, but thought it might be a bit harsh.
Isn't the purpose of alternate internet-access technology to view the same data via different means? Makes the whole thing a bit silly if we actually have to cater specifically for said technology IMO...

That's taking the easy way out. We didn't have RSS in cricketweb and I raised the issue once. Now we have RSS. Most good sites on the net are mobile friendly and there is no reason we shouldn't strive for cricketweb being mobile friendly.

I think mobiles should make CW mobile-friendly though; that was my point. I find it a bit arrogant of those who make such things to basically be saying "Well you can use the internet on it, but it'll be **** unless all the site owners conform". Internet pages already exist; if you're going to develop technology to access them, it's your responsibility to get it to work properly.
Not saying we shouldn't make an effort here; I just find it a bit dire that it has to come to such a point where we're expected to, is all.

Mobiles can't make sites mobile friendly because of limitations of handsets more often than not. Sites have to make themselves mobile friendly. That's the way it works.

We aren't expected to do it. It would be great and a bonus if it happens, that's all. I agree with you here.

Same. Every once in a while I'll need to look at something, like if I can't remember the name of a book or game someone recommended. When this happens, it'll take me a good five minutes or so to get to the thread I need to read, whereas on PC it'll take me little to no time. As Pratters said, it'll be a nice bonus if it ever happens for people like me.

I found out skweezer which is great. Works on literally any site out there.

Well that makes it much easier. Not happy having the forum over 4 pages, but much better. Thanks.
