Hey you. Yeah, you.

I know you're not busy in your cali-for-ni-a design offices and shit. Drop your nerf guns and put your hands in the air. Okay, now get off that Segway and listen to me.

FTR is no good on my mobile phone/pocketPC. It has SO many images and adverts and t'ing that you have to scroll about 10 screens worth before you even see any content.

It takes about 30 seconds to draw each screen - and that's using WiFi - never mind any actual on-the-m0ve GPRS nonsense. It makes reading the forum close to impossible.

I would like to suggest a mobile or lite version of the forum - Diet FTR, if you will.

Its only a suggestion... but its a good one.

Vote Mobile. Vote for Yes. Vote for change.

OK you can continue your office nerf war now.

Can't you just wait until you get home to check the boards?

I dont think the demand for this is high enough to justify the effort required.

Giving FTRers the ability to post while drinking in bars is not a good idea, methinks.

Your vocabulary is -EV for your goal, I coulnd't resist voting for the luddite option. Plus I guess it's true, I can't even text message.

Maybe Dog could use all this spare time to pen more blog entries ;)

DONE! I wrote a post that was so long and self-indulgent that it would have been embarrassing to put it on FTR.

PERFECT for a blog :D

It's a good suggestion - I've tried going through the forums on my Treo and it was painful. However, I'm not sure how much work it would be and, like most people, I don't like working that much.

But we'll look into it and report back.

since you're using CSS for the site, you could offer an alternative CSS file that is much lower size from less/no images. then have a template switcher. this isn't just a convenience, it's also an accessibility issue FWIW.

Can i receive an ftr link directly into my brain? Then it'd be like we were all in telepathic contact, all the time!
