FYI: AnandTech Forums for Mobile site now up and running, please provide feedback.

To cut to the chase, here's the URL:

http://atforums.mobi/


How It Works

The first page is a straight rip of the sidebar text from when you're logged in. The links have been changed to point to a local page, though.

When you click on a forum category, the script grabs the 20 topics listed on the page and displays their titles to you. Clicking on a thread loads a parsed version of the Printable View page, reformatted for better compatibility and readability with a mobile device browser.


What I'd Like Feedback On

1. Does it work for you? (If it didn't, what kind of bug appeared?)
2. What device(s) did you test it upon?
3. What do you think of the font size? Bigger, smaller, just right?
4. Would you change anything?


To-Do List

- Add "Topic Summary" line.
- Add a font size selector option (store current font size in session).
- Change individual thread view to UTF-8 encoding.
- Add a stripslashes() call to the posting code.


Updates

- Added "Originator" name.
- Added alternating thread title background colours.
- The logo image now links back to the categories list.
- New URL! Now hosted by alm99 at http://atforums.mobi/
- 'Fixed' the Printable View; thanks to Unheard who wrote the parser for this task!
- Added the ability to log in and post to a thread! See this thread on documentation upon maintaining a session through PHP CURL.

Page comes up blank for me I am using Cingy 8525 with PIE over Cingy/at&t 3g network.

 

[yllus]

Of all things, it shouldn't be showing up blank! Maybe you caught me during an update? My poll of Off Topic members seems to generally indicate successful usage.

 

[intogamer]

Good stuff Anandtech forums should be officially make it Wap browser friendly

Works fine on PIE via T-Mobile with MDA (WM6)

Bump. Added the ability to reply to threads. Adjusting font sizes and the ability to post a new thread are next.

works on a900

 

[RichUK]

Sweet. This works perfectly on my PDA (Qtek 2020i) and the page loading is a hell of a lot quicker too. Thanks.

 

[uli2000]

Love it! Works perfect on my ppc6700

 

[S Freud]

Awesome! Works great on my 8100.

EDIT: The above was actually posted using my Blackberry 8100. Really quick and the layout is great.

Thanks very much.

I haven't had much time to check it out but so far works pretty good on my LG VX9900. thanks!
for some reason it won't log me in. I put in the correct login/password but it never let's me post.

sully I need your code for a site I run is there some parsing that you are doing . I need to do it for gstwin forums

 

[The Stigenator]

chrisg22: That\'s not good. Are there any special characters in your password, anything out of the ordinary like that? Maybe the cleanup function on user input is messing it up.

TheGoodGuy: Dude, \"some parsing\" doesn\'t even come close! There\'s a huge amount of parsing going on, and even an experienced PHP programmer would need to spend 2-6 hours getting this stuff adjusted for another forum. I will package it for release soon enough though.

Edit: Apparently I need to add a stripslashes() call to the posting code.

 

[intogamer]

bump

 

[intogamer]

nvm i'm a dumbazz

 

[DigDug]

Nope, my password consists of only numbers/letters. After I hit submit it just returns me to the login prompt. Nothing happens. thanks for all the work though!
