AG Forums: Mobile Friendly

[War Lord]

I recently purchased a smart phone.

To enable me to easier view the forums on the go I installed a hack that detects when the forums are being viewed on a mobile device and will automatically force a mobile-friendly theme.

If any of you are using mobile devices to browse, it should automatically detect you are and then force the mobile theme.

Cool! I don't own an internet phone, but still cool!

Sounds awesome.

I'm curious, though; how does the forum know whether it's being viewed on a mobile device?

What smartphone, WL? I recently purchased a Palm Treo 700wx

I need to figure out Verizon's data plans before I start browsing though.

It determines it based on your web browser I believe.

The Motorola Q9m. I checked out all of Verizon's smart phones and decided upon it after it was all over. I'm pleased with the purchase thus far, especially after a few software downloads. I have the unlimited web, e-mail, and data plan. Are you paying per megabyte or whatever?

That looks snazzy. What version of Windows Mobile is that running? And as of now, I don't have net on the phone. But I know I'm not gonna be downloading enough on my phone to make unlimited worthwhile. But I don't want to get stuck with 10 bullshit MB a month either.

It's Windows Mobile 6.

I really needed MS Office and E-Mail. The internet is just a magical side effect.
Between Live Search (Bad ass free download) to checking the net anywhere I'm at, the data plan is totally worth it. I also just found, but haven't tried Shadow Of Legend


If you don't want the unlimited data, did you just get the phone for texting?

I got it because of the deal I got on it, and because I just wanted a solid well built phone. And the PDA aspect is helpful here and there.

Hey WL, are you able to add an option to go to the regular version of the forums if you're on a mobile? The regular version is much easier to use on an iPhone/iPod Touch than this version, so having that option would be great.

[War Lord]

Done.
It should default to the Classic Nintendo on an iPhone.
