PCFormat Wap Version

Post by Monty »

Do you think it would be possible to have a wap version of PCFormat.co.za for those of us who are don't always have access to a PC to browse the forum?

There aren't any plans for it in the near future but will look into it.

Works on my Ipaq as well but viewing it is a disaster. Mobile version will be nice.

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

Been looking into this and it doesnt seem like it would be that much of a mission to get going. I'll mess around a bit and let you know what the story is.

The login security code didn't show while using Opera Mini, but since about January it works.

Nope, not port but there are apps that will read directly off the database. Won't be very pretty but thats not all that important when using a mobile option.

the nice thing about a wap version is that it is less intensive on data usage

I dont understand why you'd want a WAP version. With things as wonderful as Opera Mini a WAP version is not necessary.

I agree. WAP version would be nice and light, and you wouldn't have to bother about turning images on and off all the time.

Ya. Also if it was possible to disable the signatures in a wap version, they often take up 1or2 screen lengths
