Really, I cope ok on my Tocco.

And it's not a simple job to make a mobile specific forum from what I have been told.

I have repeatedly tried with no joy.

Never had this problem with my N95 but that was on O2. My N97 is on Orange so maybe thats it.

Does it on the iphone too, I just hit submit again and it works.

Erm site works fine on iphone, I'm sure if you finance a mobile specific site so steve can hire some coders it will be fine but otherwise its a pain in the ass.

Used to be OK on my N95 but on my new C905 it's just unusable! I can't work it out at all. :(

I have a N97 on 3, and it works ok but depends on the 3g signal strength.

Exactly.

If you were building the zone from scratch, you could create equivalent mobile forms as you go and just start limiting some of the functionality. To take where it is at the moment and make it mobile friendly, your gonna have one hell of a task.

Tbh, it would be entirely possible make a mobile zone site that *at least* allowed users to view the forum and up-2-date posts on their mobile and maybe respond. But that would be it really, with a really basic graphics layout.

Otherwise you could buy a phone like the HTC Touch Diamond or better and have IE or Opera on your phone which can display webpages fine and flash too! :D
