Hi everyone!

If you are browsing from a mobile device, our software should automatically choose the proper configuration to display properly on your device.

Try it out and let us know how it works for you.

When I figure out how to browse on my phone, I'll get back to you.

You can text me instructions for Ipod.

I gave it a shot from my Voyager, and everything seems to work. It's a little slow, but it looks just like my computer. I have to log in every time, but other than that, I believe I can post, view, etc.

Thanks Kurt!

I've had the same problem on my Samsung Instinct. It won't save my login for some reason.

I'm not sure how those guys treat cookies. Did you check "remember me" box?

It gobbles them right up and Yes.

Do you mean from page to page or session to session?

Session to session, but all my other sites store my login.

**Alicia Leonard** · 02-21-2009, 07:59 PM

Test

**Alicia Leonard** · 02-21-2009, 07:59 PM

Yes, thank you!!!!!

Iphone style is fixed so that new threads can be created.

I can actually post now! Yay!

**TooFarTampa** · 10-30-2009, 01:32 PM

How about a button for new posts?

Works on mine. What phone are you using?

**TooFarTampa** · 10-30-2009, 01:58 PM

iPhone. I see it now. Has it always been there?

I don't think so - several things were fixed.

**TooFarTampa** · 10-30-2009, 03:29 PM

thank you, yay!

Ditto on my Zune HD. Once logged in though everything looked great.

**30ashopper** · 11-01-2009, 12:09 AM

Trying again. The little remember me box wont check. ??

Just tried it on my Blackberry Curve, and it works perfectly. I was able to use it before, but it is much easier now.

**30ashopper** · 11-12-2009, 11:10 AM

Kurt, is there any way to turn off the mobile interface from a mobile device and just use the regular site? Some sites allow you to do this from a link on the mobile home page.

**kurt** · 11-12-2009, 05:47 PM

Not at this time. I can't imagine it is a very pleasant experience.

**Smiling JOe** · 11-12-2009, 06:37 PM

Is there a mobile view which is separate website? On my Blackberry Curve 8830, it still take forever to load. Once on the site, it seems to work, but it takes so long that I don't access it from my BB. I really wish was faster so that I could use it.

Just tried it again, and still the same. I've been spinning the hour glass for about 60 seconds trying to load a thread, and I just got a message: "out of memory" which seems difficult to believe because I have a 4GB card (which still has about 3.5GB of memory available). Before that message came up, I could see only a few menu items on the SoWal.com menu bar, and the space where the header photo is supposed to be.

Does anyone else have similar problems with speed of loading on smartphone?

If you need to borrow my BB, I'll gladly show you, just let me know.

Sounds like the auto-detect may not be working for you.

Should look like this:

**Beach Runner** · 11-12-2009, 10:26 PM

On my laptop I have a shortcut to "Quick Links." How do I navigate to that on my new Blackberry Tour? I don't see a link to "Quick Links."

EDIT: Actually I'd rather have a "New Posts" link without having to navigate to it (like on the previous version).

**scooterbug44** · 11-12-2009, 11:25 PM

Dumb tech question - if I don't have an Iphone, but I have an Ipod touch, can I Sowal if I am in a wifi zone?

I know it's an amazing phone/doodligig, but I can't justify a cell phone bill over $100 a month.

Yes if you can browse the internet you can access SoWal.com.

**Lynnie** · 12-01-2009, 07:49 PM

I can browse on my BB, but it's plain weird: therefore, a deterrent. But, it remembers me.

The really odd thing is that some of it is in Spanish?? I donno??
