So I'm now using a Nokia E62 and decided to try FlyerTalk wirerless. What a pain!



I should start by saying that I haven't used FlyerTalk wireless before, but...



Reading a thread one post at a time is dreadfully slow.



Writing this post in a 3 line textbox is annoying



Viewing the forum list with only a few threads on each page is also annoying.



Is this my phone? Or maybe a lack of options on FlyerTalk mobile? It really would be neat for this to be really functional!

Reading a thread one post at a time is dreadfully slow.
I am guessing using displaying a lot of posts on a page would be a problem for mobile users with slower connections. A few posts per page might work; I would really love that!

More importantly: Please change things so I can read an entire post on one page. On my phone, on longer posts, FT breaks it up. I have to click "More" to have it load more of that post. The problem is, in order to go to the next post, I have to go back one page at a time until the beginning of the post I was just read, then click "next" or it doesn't work. I cannot navigate from the end of one post to the beginning of the next if the post doesn't fit on one screen.

When I use my phone to read news articles, they will load about 10X as much per page as FT will. A much better user experience, I think.

(from my Nokia E61 in full browser...)

what happened to flyertalk.com/wap? It says it's offline, but I can find no announcement about any downtime.

thanks

There are profile settings to change the number of posts/threads per page.

I don't have my phone in front of me, but if you root around the menus, it's not hard to find.

My biggest complaint is that everytime I log in wirelessly I have to set the "Posts: descending" option. I wish it would remember this (or even better, work the same way as the web and jump to new posts automatically).
