AW forums on Mobile browsers

I have been trying with built-in and Opera Mini browsers on my phone and the new AW mobile format is not working (only most recent post available). Perhaps your Mobile format would be better as an option, rather than required. Those not wishing to use mobile format could possibly select a link to see Full Version.
Many sites catering to mobiles have a Full Version link on the Mobile page.
Changing the User Agent String on most Mobile browsers is not easily done, but telling your server that the Browser is Desktop would be the only way at present to get the full content.

i'm having the same issue with the BB Browser on my 8830 with 4.5 OS.

Some folks are having good experience, some not...totally inconsistent and in need of improvement.

Yep, there is very little consistency among mobile browsers. That is the reason we NEED a "View Desktop Version" link on the mobile page. They are never going to get it fixed for all mobile browsers.

For awhile this morning it was showing only the first post in the thread. Now it's back to last post in thread.

There is a way to edit what your browser tells the web server it is.

If it see's it's a mobile browser it gives you the mobile version of the page.

I Edited what IE told web pages it was (to IE6,) my Q a while ago, I prefer to browse in full mode, but some of the java scripts and active elements on pages don't always function correctly.

Unfortuntaly most web pages don't render well on mobile browsers. KAWF was a very simple dynamic page, so it did well in displaying to most mobile browsers.
