I have used the wap site to access this forum and it's been difficult. One post at a time in a multiple page thread is overwhelming. I chalked it up to my ignorance in not knowing the best method to browse the wap site. Any tricks or suggestions for those of use that haven't figured out the best navagating strategy for this site on our devices would be appreciated.

Use the Internet Browser with Support HTML Tables turned off, and browse the HTML Site. Has all the proper buttons and navigation activated.
It may be a little slower for short threads but anything over about 10 posts it's much better.
hope this helps.

I too don't like how each post is listed individually on a single page. I scroll to the page number and use the Jump To link to fast foward things. Although I have to say a WAP page loading using EDGE network, you could load twenty pages in a minutes.

Use the WAP site dude!
makes a difference....a big difference.
If you think that was pain....try conducting business on eBay on your 8700g as I usually do.

Count me in the group that prefers to surf the site in the Internet Browser with HTML tables turned off. I find it be maore effective than the Wap site. You don't have to sign in, can see from the forum page how many posts are in a thread and who made the last one (i.e. is there anything new...) etc.

I tried the new version of Opera Mini and did not like it one bit. Went back to the BB Browser. I guess its a matter of taste

Oooh!
I didn't know you could change how many posts were on a page.
I just dealt with the bbforum website on my browser because I hated looking at one reply at a time.
Thank you for pointing this out!

Thanks for replying to my request. Previewing the forum from the BB with the adjustments mentioned above really helped. I do however wonder if this is a good thing for me to have now even more of a reason for me to be typing on my 8700. My wife will be pleased (not)!

Wow, the WAP site is much faster. One thing I noticed was that I don't get any images. It just says "loading images". Any ideas?
