Oh. I see what you mean. Let me see what I can do.

kind of late on this post so I may be repeating what someone has said, but on the blackberry mobile launcher it is to simplified. Is there anyway to make it more dynamic? more interactive. This site is unbelievable especially with the make over. The mobile launcher should share what attributes it can to the site. We have no access to online shopping and navigating to the OTA can be rather difficult. May be there could be a section for OTA's.

It can't be too dynamic or it won't load fast on the BB and would kinda be pointless:22:

I do hear you on the OTA's though. I have actually thought about this recently. I think an OTA section is a good idea. :fing02:

Thanks Natemz.....you are correct on the dynamic part that would more then likely slow the upload of the site. OTA's would be great though.

Are you planning to add the report post and add reputation to the mobil site?

i wondered the same thing.. i commented on the report post a couple pages back but heard nothing. hone: can you hear me now? :irked:

Another thing I would like to see on the mobile version...is the button at the bottom that says previous/next....I would like "first page"/"last page" added...(if possible )

This is pertaining to the Main page on the website, and its just a suggestion base on my past experiences that may be of some use here.... or NOT.

I feel there is too much content that can be minimize to reduce load times, expanding variety of new users, and to keep the main page from becoming a novel. Keep in mind I'm speaking only of the main page. I noticed you use a portal vBadvanced? I'm not sure but I wouldn't doubt that it can be done, providing a quick summary of the news and with links linking to the full report.

vBulletin is IMO the best msg brd program out there, hence their prices and they especially now have alot of enhanced features which brings me to the Forums.

I'm not sure whats causing it, perhaps my computer is not up to date, heck I haven't moved to the duo cores.. But the Message Board main page seems sluggish when scrolling, it could be the icons assigned to each forum as each one is different and with a lot of forums that could be the result. I go to the corral site which has ALOT of members and forums and its very smooth when it loads/scroll, but then again their site doesn't entail much or if any eye candy either.

The FORUMS tab above, I'm curious how many people use the drop down menu or rather just click the Forums Home link. I think removing the drop down menu for the Forums only and provide a direct link to the forum page would be ideal.

This site is great, the look and feel is inviting. I haven't seen this site before its make-over, but I come here daily. Again I hope no one takes these suggestions the wrong way, I know a lot of work been done to this site not too mention up-keeping it from all avenues. :approve:

Mozilla 3.5 BETA....try that and your problems should be cleared up. Just google it, download it....and watch your internet fly.

The main reason the front page is a little sluggish right now is because of all the gear photos that are on there. Normally its very fast and snappy. Once that post is cycled off there it should get back to being fast again.

the gears post is off the front page now, its moving much faster for me
