The problem is not logging in or posting from a cell phone. The issue is having a mobile version of the site. A mobile version is more cellphone friendly. In the sense you don't constantly have to zoom in or enlarge the screen to see what your doing.

Basically it cuts out all the fanciness and decorations, and just dsplays the newest threads/posts at a size that doesn't require zooming in.

I've asked about it, and the lead admin says other forums owned by the same company as MCF are getting mobile mode enabled by the techs. So I'm feeling optimistic about it. It's just a matter of how long it'll take the techs to get around to us. Judging by past experience, it'll be a while. But I'll try my best to keep reminding them.

I sometimes access the forum on my iPhone as well. So I would love a mobile version of the site too!

i too use a phone to post Samsung Instinct HD using opera mobile, works beautifully, you can change your settings(on the forum to make it more phone friendly(no sigs,pics and some other stuff i cant remember all what) basicly just makes it so it's no soooo much to load but sucks when someone post pics and whatnot

Ah. I guess i've simply gotten spoiled by my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 cause the screen is huge so it's not a problem for me.
