WAP enabled forum

**zoomy942** · 02-09-09, 06:48 PM

I have mentioned this before but thought I would bring it up again. With more and more mobile devices being used, would nvnews be able to create a wap link to the forums? Sure, most devices can surf html sites to a limited sense, but a WAP type would be much faster then html.

just a thought.

WAP? You do know that stands for Wireless Access Point right?

I agree, the Blackberry browser isn't the best thing when it comes to surfing t3h NVNEWS. Great idea zoomz!

A special WAP/PDA site would have been an idea a year or two ago, but now with Opera Mobile and Skyfire, the regular site works fine for me.

Why not just turn sigs off?

Here you go. PDA friendly. LOL http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/archive/index.php

I thought we were already a FAP enabled forum.

Any progress on this? I was with the wife shopping the other day and it took forever to get into any of the subforums on my Berry. It would be really awesome to have a WAP-enabled site for NVNews forums!

It may be possible to just install an already written plugin such as this one:

Nice. Maybe MikeC will highly consider this for us mobile users so we can get our NVNews fix.

Skyfire ftw. I use it on my BlackJack I with official upgrade to WinMo 6. It's pretty quick in 3g areas.
