Okay, back to you question. I could log me in and see the start page (with PM) and Myforums etc. If I try to open them I got the Login window again. But I could klick on who is online and see ball users (the only possible function available).
Thanks

Try going to "My Prefs" and turning "Truncate" off. It should give you a page of full posts. You can set the number of posts and threads per page using the "My Prefs" menu. IMHO wireless FT works brilliantly. ^

I would agree with other posts in that it would be good to see more than one post per page. Could the font be made smaller? I it were the equivalent size of the menu a lot more could be displayed.

Neat feature of FT - thanks! ^

And I already posted via FlyerTalk WAP a week ago, on the Brooklyn Reality Tour thread in Community.
Works great; big improvement over accessing regular FT from my BlackBerry. Posting to regular FT was especially problematic as it seemed to time me out repeatedly. The WAP version doesn't seem to do this as much and is generally more manageable. ^

Thx! Didn't realize there was a separate set of prefs for the wireless!

Works for me. I'd like more posts per screen. The download takes more time than it would with 5 - 10 posts.

truncate = off; posts/page = 30; threads/page = 30 was exactly what I needed. ^
It would be great if I could set wireless prefs on line and not have to wait for things to load. Or maybe I should just get an 8700 and have EDGE.

I think that's the ticket. With EVDO (Verizon's broadband) on my cell phone, everything is blazing fast. Even set to 30 per page.

No problems whatsoever using a BB 7250. Thanks Tim and anyone else who thought to implement and then got this up and running!
This is much better then using the Archive (where it was read only) and faster loading then using the regular FT, when one wanted to post.
I do have a question though. I would assume that turning Truncation off would allow all of a post to show up, instead of having to click more again and again, especially on long posts (ie, trip reports) but apparently it does not. What does turning Truncation on or off actually do?
That is my only complaint, it would be nice to allow a whole post to show up on the page, no matter how many characters long.

Ok, posted before reading the 2nd page of posts in this thread.
Truncation has to do with how many posts per page. I assumed it meant Show or Do not show a whole post w/o having to click "more" if a single post goes over x number of characters.
So that is still my question / "complaint".
How don or what Pref needs to be changed, for you to see a whole post w/o having to click more?
