Works great on Blackberry. One note though - can you make the topic category list font a bit smaller. Right now it's humongous on my b-berry.

Edit: The font of the thread titles can be a bit smaller as well.

Font size on which pages exactly? The thread lists? The threads themselves?

Sorry, should have specified. The threads themselves have the large font. Thread list has the smaller font which is ok, though I would like even smaller (but my phone doesn't go that low).
 
Okay, I think the general consensus was that the font size could stand to be lowered. Dropped it to an 8-pt. font in Arial.

Unfortunately the threads themselves are out of my control, seeing as all I do is link to the printable version of the FuseTalk thread view. 🙁 If I get a lot of free time on my hands sometime (as in I end up being incarcerated for a few months), I'll write a parser that reshapes the printable view for mobile device compatibility.
 
Works great. The regular forums were hard to view since the format change on Sidekick. Definitely loads faster too.
 
Works well on a Treo 700WX

Nothing to add other than really gotta kill sigs, and reshaping to the device would be nice.

On my Nokia 770 it's a pain in the ass to type, but you can't help with that 😛
 
1. Does it work for you? (If it didn't, what kind of bug appeared?)
Yes, it does

2. What device(s) did you test it upon?
Blackberry 8703e

3. What do you think of the font size? Bigger, smaller, just right?
Font size is right and i wouldnt change it

4. Would you change anything?
adding authentication so i can keep track of my bookmarked threads which will be the only thing i would be interested if i see any need to browse it on a mobile device.
 
Looks good on my Treo 700wx. The only thing I don't like is when you go into a post, how bland it is. It's tough to discern between posts and signatures.
 
Okay, thanks to Unheard a thread parser has been incorporated which should get resolve these issues:

- All text in a thread should no longer be bolded.
- Devices that displayed an error when a thread was selected for viewing should no longer have issues.
- Member signatures in threads have been removed.

Next up is the ability to log in and post to threads. It shouldn't be too difficult.
 
(1) Does it work for you?

Yes, it works.


(2) What device(s) did you test it on?

Verizon VX9900 Env


(3) What do you think of the font size? Bigger, smaller, just right?

Slightly smaller would be easier to deal with in my limited screen space.


(4) Would you change anything?

Adding authentication would be the only other thing I'd like to see.

* T-Mobile Dash

Is this a private project or an official AT site?
Click to expand...

Completely unofficial (private).
 
It worked great for me on my Blackberry 8100 Pearl, both with the Blackberry browser and Opera Mini. The font size seems fine, and I didn't encounter any errors upon rendering the pages. The only addition I would make is the ability to login/post/check PMs, but I know how much more involved that would become.

Nevertheless, it will be a bookmark on my Blackberry. This is gonna be awesome for killing time.

Works fine for me for what it is.

It is kinda annoying that all the posts are bold, but otherwise, the typeface is fine.

I am using Blazer v.4.0 on a Treo 650.

Looks great with the new enhancements on my 650.

Thanks for all your (free) hard work.

used it on my M1 as well. What about an option to log in and get pm's?
 
Logging in and posting replies to threads will be next up and fairly simple to accomplish (already got the scheme in my head).

Posting new topics wouldn't be especially difficult to add as well, but I think will come second to the above - I don't imagine too many people will want to write up a large OP on their mobile device.

Private messages will be pretty annoying to add in and will require yet another parser, so unless someone takes up the gauntlet like Unheard did for threads, it'll probably never happen.
 
If you need/want any help with this, let me know.

What also would be nice is to make pages for topics. Some of these topics have hundreds of replies... my thumb just doesn't it in him to scroll to the very last one.
