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?

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. ^

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.

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?

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?

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

If you give it a try later on tonight you might find that it works then...
