    Default How do I view the mobile version?

    When I open the Brighthand forums in Blazer, I really want to go to the mobile view. But when I pick that from the list at the bottom of the page, nothing happens. I get the same kind of thing--that is to say, nothing--from other websites that work similarly (such as the combo box at the top of www.jezner.com).

    What am I doing wrong?

    For the forums, see the very bottom of the page on the left side. Choose the skin, and then see the address. That is what you will want to put in your Blazer browser's favorites to get to the mobile version of the forums.
    If your smartphone is so smart, then why are you spending so much time learning it? Shouldn't it learn you and adapt to your leanings?

    Thanks, folks!

    Ed, I initially tried going that route. It's great for reading the articles and I use it for that, but there's no link to the forums. Including a link to the "mobile 2" version would be a very nice addition.

    AWright, I'll try that this evening, when I'll have WiFi access.

    And, on a separate note, can I assume that Blazer doesn't support those kinds of pick lists? I don't run into them very often, but some sites can't be fully navigated without them.

    On Blazers preference Settings do you have cookies enabled? And did you select the Remember Me option when completing LogIN?

    I utilize several methods to access the site, and one is via WiFi and TX, I optioned and selected the Brighthand.com Mobile 2 skin for this device and it is remembered on each connection. Occasionaly I have to sign in, but not certain if result of cashe being cleared on the TX or the new revision of vBulliten the site is working with.

    The laptop is set for Plain Style as is the home and office platforms. Laptop 2 and any public access points, the remember me option is NOT selected, unless using Pocketversion of Firefox on these platforms

    Awright, it worked! Thank you!

    BAB2000, I had cookies enabled, but when I went to check on that, I discovered that I had Java Script disabled. That then took care of the issue with the drop-boxes not working.

    I seem to be on target now.

    Thanks again to all.
