Any chance of the wap view? My phone browser absolutely hates this overly complex reply window with 10k options.

I've been reluctant to install a non-stable MOD like phpbb-mobile, but I'll go ahead and do it. If it breaks everything, I blame you. :P

Too bad, I installed phpbb-mobile. It seems to detect and work fine on my android phone.

New mobile view looks great. One question about the interface. I can't see anywhere to login in, which isn't a problem as it seems to recognize me. And topics with new posts show up red. Is there a way to go directly to the unread posts? Everything I click on the red topics just takes me to the first page.

How do you mark topics as read? I don't see an option for that. I'd like to be able to do that so I don't have to sift through all the topics every time.

Search doesn't work for me.. it says.. "You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards." Try two words over 3 characters.. doesn't work.

I'm not a mod, but I believe you can do that yourself:

Click on User Control Panel at top
Click on Board preferences on left
Click on My timezone near bottom of list
Select Yes next toSummer Time/DST is in effect

I'm having problems duplicating this. When I enter two search terms, I get search results.

The mobile access looks sharp (Android) but is there a way to view new/unread posts? Is not very useful to just see the board index and not able find not posts.

Unfortunately, I don't see any way to do that. If there's another mobile mod with this feature, I am unaware of it. If anyone can find one I will happily install it.

You should be able to post anything in any forum. There may be a problem. Looking into it...

edit: Yep, there's something weird going on. I can see that your permissions are mangled. Sorry about that! I'll figure out why and get it fixed ASAP.

edit2: Should be fixed, I think. Let me know.
