Brain-dead Smart Phone User
I would like some help on this issue.... pleessse! Maybe it's me cuz I'm brain dead so often, but I can't view a major portion of the website (OB) on my Blackberry device. So is it me and the way I have my phone settings or is it how OB has the website designed? I have my email sync to the phone so I receive notification but when I log in all I get are the header and left side bar and nothing but a black screen for the balance of the home page.... What am I doing wrong??????

I have come to the conclusion that hi tech gadgets like smart phones are not for me. I just traded down to a plain old cell phone and I still have a land line, too.
Cameras, however, are another story.....

I will never get rid of my landline - I won't even have a wireless one. How else can I use the excuse that my mother phoned and that's why dinner is late or the ironing didn't get done!!!

I know nothing about smartphones (don't have one, nor do I want to have one), so I've been googling in an attempt to help you. What sort of browser are you using on it? I read some info on a forum that suggests switching browsers, since some websites can be optimized for one but not another.

I view OrchidBoard on a G1 Android phone much of the time. It's far from ideal; the graphics for the top bar and the side bar are quite large, and take a long time to load. They do load eventually, so it works OK. My initial guess is that it's loading - just very very slowly!

I have a Blackberry Bold from Verizon. And as I said everything loads, sidebar and top bar but the rest of the screen is black and no matter how long I wait nothing loads... I don't see the right sidebar

I don't know about the smart phones, I use my iPhone. Can you download Tapatalk? I use it on my iPhone, but it could just be an iPhone app.
