    Maybe the device-type identification thing is having difficulty recognising a Windows Mobile device..

    Whatever formatting change has been done recently now means that the mobile home page looks a mess on my N95. The original nicely formatted with smaller font version was great, except perhaps you could double the number of recent posts on the home page to display. But today's version just looks like someone didn't bother formatting it. The lines wrap around with quite a large font.

    I've changed no settings on my N95 either. I'm using the built in browser and always have been.

    Yea. I pointed that out when it first changed. It needs more spacing, and bolding for thread titles etc.

    i don't think i like the fewer posts per page. It's less data per page but you have to change the page much more, it's working out about every 20 seconds for me

    Also, it can't quite decide how many posts there are per page. I clicked on a thread that was supposed to have 5 pages. When it opened it said it had 2 and had more posts. When i clicked to the second page it went back to 5 pages and contained posts i'd already read

    Maybe it could be made an option in the user cp?

    I removed the font size specifications to see if it had an effect on the built-in browsers on Nokia devices etc. Facebook does the same, figured they had probably looked into the whole thing a bit more thoroughly than I could.

    Fewer posts per page is a plugin I found on vb.org that doesn't actually seem to work correctly. I'll likely end up removing it altogether.

    Also someone mentioned adding thanks... may not work quite as well considering javascript doesn't execute, so you'd be redirected every time you clicked the button.

    personally i wouldn't mind. there are already a lot of sites i use on my phone that use javascript so i have to deal with that anyway.

    currently if i really want to thank a post i add the page as a bookmark, edit the m. in m.boards.ie out of the bookmark, go to the link, find the post and thank it, where the page then has to reload. i think having it on the mobile version would be a bit easier :)

    Opera Mini is great, more people should use it.

    Although I vaguely recall people having some misgivings, something to do with the caching iirc.

    not caching exactly. every time you make a request it goes via their server that compresses everything before sending it to the phone. so any sensitive info you send on it is being sent to opera. personally i don't mind

    I pretty much agree with everything here. I thought I was going insane this morning because of page numbers. I'd been looking at a thread on the Film forum last night on my mobile and it had 4 pages. This morning when I went looking for it it took me ages to find it because I was scanning the page for number of pages and when it only had 2 on the pc skin I couldn't see it. Then the same thing happened on another forum and I though I was loosing my mind.

    The new font is ok, but I preferred the old one.

    Okay, just noticed something while browsing m.boards.ie. My phone, nokia e62, is only showing 4/5 posts per page rather than the usual 15, which is quite annoying. It seems to be the same when i log on with IE7 too...
