The BuffettNews discussion board is now ready for mobile users on the go. It's a slimmed down version without all of the graphics that's easier to read.
You can access the BN forums by typing the url below in your mobile device's internet browser.
http://www.buffettnews.com/forum/
So far it's been tested with Blackberries and iphones.
Try it out and let me know what you think.

I logged on while I was in Chicago a few weeks ago on my Blackberry. BN Critters was too small to read, but it did come through.

Re: Access the BN Forums with your Mobile device
So far I don't like it. I have an iPhone and the formatting is to big. Plus I am unable to zoom in or out now. Is there a way for individuals to disable the mobile forum? I much perfer the full version.

Re: Access the BN Forums with your Mobile device
Cool idea! On using my iPhone right now. Only a few difficulties I see so far dealing with formatting and content falling off the right side of the page (and not being able to scroll over to it). Makes it difficult/impossible to pick a posting page number if it goes off the side. Haven't pulled up a post with images yet but will try in a min.

Re: Access the BN Forums with your Mobile device
Images seem to work ok, cool.
Here's a screen shot from my iphone showing the difficulty with page width, you'll see that the page count for the first posting is greater than 33, but you can't scroll right to click on the last page number.
Hope this helps!
ps- the font size is slightly large when on the iphone, is that adjustable by chance?

Re: Access the BN Forums with your Mobile device
Got on with my cingular 8125 smart phone. Had been on before without the mobile formatting, This is so much better!! My only question is, on quoted stuff there was quote marks overlaying the text. Is it supposed to do that? Or is my phone just being weird? Anyway, so much better!!!
