Anyone out there ever view this site on their Blackberry? Jeremy - I know you have one. I can get it to come up but it is difficult to read. Just wondering if there were browser settings on my Blackberry that I could change that would make it easier to view (Frames, etc). Any ideas?

Did you change the viewing style from default to mobile?
The drop menu is located on the Bottom left side of the page.

I have it setup so we have a mobile friendly version of the site but I don't have it 100% converted over to being Blackberry friendly. Right now it works perfect on Palm and WinMobile machines but Blackberry's have a tad different way of handling things. I should have it completely ported soon and will make sure to let you know when it's ready.

I view CycloneFanatic on my Blackberry 8100 all the time. Honestly the website is kind of finicky... Sometimes it loads very well and the pages look like they've been optimized for a mobile browser, and then sometimes it looks really crappy and un-optimized.

I think that when the page initially loads if I click on "Home" it brings me to a well formatted version of the "Site Navigation" that is normally on the left side of the screen. If I access threads by navigating to them through "Home" (and going from there) they look GREAT.

One of the only problems that I have happens each time I open a load a thread (or a new page in a thread). A window that says "Handler cannot be removed" pops up, and I am forced to click okay. After that, there are no problems.

Thanks for the suggestions. Once I get into a thread, it's easy to read, but getting to the thread itself from the home page is what is difficult. The home page gets chopped up pretty badly.

Great to hear that you're working on it Jeremy. Keep up the great work.
