For those of you w/ BBs , remember that there are image options on the BB as well as under your FT wireless Prefs.

Also I have found changing my font on my BB to BBMillbank (size) six makes for easy reading, if I keep the BB within 12 to 18 inches of my face. Any further away and font size needs to increase but then of course you lose screen real estate.



Any chance of getting SpellCheck? ;)

Edited to add:
I think this might just be the BB and lack of color but it is very hard to see the "Menu", "Edit" and "Quote" links on the page.
Since the links are blue and the banner they are on is only a slightly different shade of blue they are tough to see.

How are the FT blue colors coming through for everyone else and is it tough to see the links on them?

It appears that truncation can't be turned off, truncation is of course there for phones that have a smaller maximum page size limit. Addressing another question, because of the page size limit of some phones we will probably be keeping the default for the posts per page setting at one as well, though this can be changed pretty easily in the options as has been pointed out already.

Spell check is something that I don't know of being in the plans for the future. The links are pretty easy for me to see though that is in color not b+w... anyone else have trouble seeing them?

The other issue I have is that when I look for the last post the little box that asks us to input a page number does not always come up until I've moved along on a couple of page hits.

Tim, thanks for the reply. Sorry, I was joking about Spellcheck. ;)

And my BB is in color just not very good color imo, 7250 has pretty washed out color.

Try setting posts per page to 10 and truncate off. It should give you a page of ten complete posts.

Tim - I seem to be going round in circles with login - I login then try to look at the airlines forum and it asks me to log in again. I do so and I am back at the home page for wap again.

It was working great. I really like it but I seem to have this little glitch- any suggestions?

(I use a Blackberry 7230)

My best guess would be that your Blackberry is not holding on to your login information for one reason or another. I'm not sure if cookie is exactly the correct term when referring to a wireless device, but I would check my preferences and make sure that I have things set up correctly to accept and hold on to cookies from FlyerTalk. Do any Blackberry users have any suggestions if they have come across similar problems in the past? Thanks,

Ihave logged on again and adjusted my settings.I also cleared the cache to see I it was a memory problem.

I can browse any where on the wap site apart from the Airlines Program forum. When I try to open this up it just asks me to log in again and ater doing so I get taken back to the wap home page.

Very strange. I am using my Blackberry at this time and it works fine apart from when I do this.

Any other suggestions as to what I can do?

Is there a particular sub-forum inside the Airline Programs forum that you are trying to go to that causes this? Can you give me a few specific examples of forums that do this? Thanks,

Works great on my Treo 650 running on T-Mobile.

Tim-
I just submitted this on my new T-Mobile SDA. The site worked fine on my Nokia 3650, but can't get it to work now. It did say that someone has already submitted a request for SDA.

Any info/update you have would be great!
Thanks :)

I don't have any specific info on your device, but the developer claims that he does his best to get support added as fast as 24 hours after a mime is submitted, though I imagine that there are many cases when they can't get them going right away. If you give it a try later on tonight you might find that it works then...

The problem with the SDA is that it use Pocket Internet Explorer, which presents itself as an Internet browser, not a WAP browser.

Thanks for the heads up ScottC, I had no idea that it would have been using PIE... g_leyser, see the previous posts about PIE in the thread, there are some alternatives you should be able to install to use instead. Thanks,

Ok, thank you both. Will try using Opera.
