Mobile site errors

[Number 7]

Been trying for the past 3 hours to post, and constant errors. Is this a general problem?

Are you using mobile.pistonheads.com?

[Number 7]

Yes

Don't!
If you're using a modern smart phone, set your skin to Mobile(Beta) via the link below and use the main site on your mobile.

There seems to be an issue with the new homepage - even if you have the mobile beta theme selected, the forum link on the homepage sends you to mobile.pistonheads.com/gassing

Apart from not having a clue what you're talking about, I have previously been able to post to for a using the mobile site and Iphone 4.

Not sure what you're missing there chap.

The mobile.pistonheads site has not received any development attention for some time, and will be retired in the future. Changing your preferences to use the Mobile(Beta) skin via the URL I posted will enable you to run a mobile optimised version of the full site on your iPhone 4. It's exactly the setup that I use and works across iPhone, iPad, laptop & desktop, with multiple browsers, perfectly.

Thanks - what I meant was that the technology is way over my head.

It's more simple than posting! So I'm still not sure what you aren't getting..
Change skin
Navigate to www.pistonheads.com/gassing on mobile device
Job done

Done - but frankly it's rubbish. You can't read anything on such a small screen without zooming, meaning half the data is not visible. I assume this version has not been built with phones in mind, so I'll go back to the old version thanks.

I (very) regularly use it on my iPhone 4, in exactly the same way as you will have, but don't have issue with it.
Nice to see you're retaining a positive outlook.
