Right now I'm seeing "The wireless forum has been temporarily disabled".

How long will this last for?

AFIK, Wireless FlyerTalk does not support Internet Explorer on Windows Mobile devices, yet. You'll have to either tweak your registry (after all, you're running Windows

) or download Opera Mobile from www.opera.com.

Nope, not for me...using a Nokia E61. I can access "normal " FT using the browser. Have successfully posted previously with this device.

It has been working fine for me the last few days with Opera on a couple different phones. It was definately out for a while.

I get a redirect to gallery.flyertalk.com/wap (from flyertalk.com/wap), then it goes no further...

That sounds like a problem with your browser not being supported, the best remedy to this is to install Opera Mobile and use it to browse the site. There is a possible work around for getting pocket IE to work with the wireless forums earlier in this thread if you would like to check it out, but I can not verify if/how well it works. I has worked for some though.

Does Opera mobile have a fee associated with download and/or use? Or is it free?

g-i don't know about "opera-mobile" but i use "opera-mini" on my nokia 6131 and it is free to d/l and the only uasage charges are those associated with my cell phone data plan. i just checked here (http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/) and it looks like opera-mobile is $$ but if your phone can use opera-mini, it's not bad for a quick on-line session. n.b. you do have to set up the "access point" on your phone for opera-mini to connect but i found the settings in the "forum" section on the opera mini home page.

I am certain that it can be downloaded and tried out for free, I'm not sure if it is necessary to buy it after a trail period or not though. Does anyone who uses it know?

Is it possible to increase the actual size of the text box when replying to a thread? I'm using a Nokia E61i and everything is adjusted to my screen, except the text box which is too small.
