I tried to replicate this on a blackberry curve without success. I'll admit that I'm having difficulty because I'm not proficient with navigating websites from a phone (I use an iPhone). Can someone give me steps to replicate the error? I managed to navigate to a thread in OMNI without problems (other than me not knowing what I was doing).
One interesting thing I have found is when I go to look for "latest headlines" I received an error along the lines of "cannot find rss file". Sorry I can't be more specific, but my bberry battery is dead so I can't bring it up until I can get to the charger...

Same problems on a Motorola Q (Verizon), they seem to have started Friday or Saturday. Glad to know it's not my phone... Hope mobile.flyertalk comes back soon, I miss it!

IB-Dick: PM me a phone number to walk you through the steps if you still can't replicate the issue.

You don't have to just use a mobile phone to access the mobile site through the WiForums interface - it can be done through any normal internet browser, at least it can using Safari/Firefox on a Mac.
Try visiting: http://mobile.flyertalk.com/BrowseForum.php
You will see no forums.
And: http://mobile.flyertalk.com/HotTopics.php
Where you will see that the threads are a few days old and get the error message: "The requested page does not yet exist".
I know WiForums released a new version (v3.9.4) on Sunday - maybe that has a fix?
