Sitting on the bus or in the carpool on your way to and from work bored out of your skull? If you have a cell phone, PDA, or Blackberry with Internet Browser capability, you can now browse the Forums using an interface specially designed for the small screens.

Just point your device to http://forums.somd.com/wap/

The interface should be self-explanatory.

If you have any problems, please:

1) Using the device in question visit http://wiforums.net/mime.php . This will identify your device to the development team.

2) Contact us at http://help.somd.com/index.php?action=ticket_submit&d=1

Please be sure to provide the make and model of your cell phone/PDA and a detailed description of the problem.

NOTES FOR SPECIFIC DEVICES:

(Nokia Series 60 Devices)

The WAP browser that comes equipped with the above device(s) cannot display WiForums in WAP 2.0 mode as it was meant to be displayed. If you plan to access the forum in WAP 2.0 mode, you can select the "Series60" WiStyle (theme) via My Prefs as it circumvents most of the WCSS issues that are present in Series 60 devices.

(Sony Ericsson - NON Pxxx series Devices)

With the exception of the SE Pxxx series of WAP devices, the browsers that comes equipped with the above device(s) cannot display WiForums in WAP 2.0 mode as it was meant to be displayed. If you plan to access the forum in WAP 2.0 mode, select the "Series60" WiStyle (theme) via My Prefs as it circumvents most of the WCSS issues that are present in s and most SE WAP 2.0 browsers.

(Windows Mobile - SmartPhones, Windows Mobile - Pocket PCs)

Pocket Internet Explorer is not fully WML compliant (it does not include the appropriate WML accept header), it also does not render the true XHTML-MP pages outputted by WiForums. In order to insure WML compliancy we had to to develop a redistributable for Pocket IE users.

This version of WiForums contains redistributable applications entitled "WiForums Pocket IE Accept Header Modifier - MS SmartPhone Edition" (WiForums PIE AHM - SMARTPHONE.zip) & WiForums Pocket IE Accept Header Modifier - MS Pocket PC Edition" (WiForums PIE AHM - POCKETPC.zip).

Alternatively, Opera's Technical Preview browser for Windows Mobile SmartPhones can be downloaded at http://www.opera.com/download/mobile...Windows+Mobile . This browser supports both the XHTML-MP and WML markup modes of WiForums Full Featured v3.
