Hey Everyone,

After a fair amount of time, I finally got I-Club WAP/PDA enabled. Now you can read and post on I-Club through your cell phone. It will automatically detect if you are using a WAP/PDA device and will automatically conform the site correctly so there's no need to go to a separate address.


Enjoy!

Are you sure? I'm using a blackberry and I just had another person just test it out on their blackjack. Try closing out the browser and try it again. Also do you have javascript enabled on your phone?

edit: Something must be screwed up on my phone because I can't even get to Yahoo anymore.

I'll report back later...

Stupid phone switched itself to medianet instead of phone again.

Problem fixed.

i-club looks good and is perfectly formatted for the screen, including jpgs and smilies!

Its up on my black jack, but it's not like this page. It's white back ground, more text like with blue links showing.

That's what wap/pda accessability is all about. It's just a simple format to be able to use the site without the extra weight of all the images,etc. There's no way to shrink the same exact setup here (images and content) to make it fit within the cell phone screen. It will take a while to load and the format would either be extremely small or just hard to navigate through.

Now iPhone users are different. Since that phone can basically bring up webpages like a computer can, the only changes that need to be made are to reduce the amount of images displayed. Basically making the site load as fast as possible and still maintaining the core look.

NICE! I'll have to check this out once I get off of work since I try not to keep my cell on me while I'm on the floor.

my blackberry curve works fine. . .except, I can't choose my drop down menu. As far as messages, new post and etc.

Javascript needs to be enabled on your phone. I have a blackberry and had the same issue until I enabled js.

looks/loads great on the iPhone with the white background and blue text. Although there's the possibility to load normal pages, I enjoy the speed of this new layout

It's perfect for people still on dial up.

it works fine on my Moto Q. I was able to get onto the website before, but it runs a lot quicker with the simpler setup.

great job spt :)

The only one thing that I noticed that may just be a setting in my phone somewhere, is that when it shows a quote, the text is significantly bigger than normal text, it's more of a css issue with the pda style I'm thinking...but it could just be my phone. Anyone else?

And thanks again Ali for listening! (=

Now comes in handy when I spot a Suby on the road. Thanks!

Works on my BlackBerry Pearl using medianet. Hooray! :)

The only thing is that it's hard to distinguish when a quoted text ends. At least on my phone, the un-quoted (new) text is only distinguished by a new paragraph and a single space indent.
