Pretty much as per title. Links to external sites within a post don't work on the mobile site. They seem to be appended to the PH URL and then fail to work.

Same for me. iPhone here.


Also as we're on the mobile site topic..., I have 80 or so posts per page. This is fine on my pc. Can the mobile site have a differene profile so I can set less posts to appear per page? Takes ages to scroll on a phone!

The mods are working on the mobile links problem.
I'd also like to have different settings for the posts per page on mobile site, not sure if it would be possible?

This has been asked for before and is on the list as something we are looking into providing in the future.

We are still working on the links problem.

Oh I see, I always assumed you'd developed it in-house.

We use a third party company to make sure the pages deliver to each mobile in the correct size for that specific mobile, so we can be sure that it looks as good on an iPhone as well as a Sony Ericsson K800i. They are much better at keeping up to date with the new phones as they come out so saves us resource to do that. For some reason this translation part is causing the links not to work and we are still chasing why this is happening, though think it is linked to some other third party tracking in place.

Interesting. Would you share their name with me (offline if necessary)? We are looking at similar services for our sites.

Yes perfectly linked out of a profile to a website and from a link to a classified add.
