Title: Cell Phone Viewing
Post by: Dry White Toast on February 14, 2008, 10:54:09 AM
First, I want to thank the hard working guys at MUScoop for all of the effort they put into this great forum.  I've been a User since the first days.  It's been great from the start, and keeps getting better. 

Enough butt-kissing.  Here's my question/suggestion.  I check into the site from my cell phone occasionally.  The format is a little tough to read and requires a lot of scrolling up and down and side to side.  I have other websites programmed into my phone that are specifically designed for mobile viewing (to make it easier to read).  Is that possible with MUScoop?  I am very non-technical, so I don't know how hard/easy/possible something like that is.  Since I've never heard the moderators turn away from a challenging suggestion, I thought I'd issue one.

Again, keep up the great work.

muscoop is set up for cell phones.  I find it simple and easy to use.  Make sure the settings are correct/if you are using an iphone tell it to connect using WAP

No iPhone...Smart Phone (smarter than me, apparently  ?-().

But the geniuses at Google have done it again!  That worked perfectly.  thanks, SoCal.

Hey now!  We don't need no stinkin' Google to do WAP for us...we do that ourselves!  ;D

For most phones you can just point to www.muscoop.com and they will automatically display the cell phone version of the page.  If that doesn't work, you can use

http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?wap2   or...
http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?wap

Rocky - love the WAP!  In fact, it's my primary mode of using the site.  One irksome limitation I've found is that I can't select and follow URL links... could make a great product even better if that were worked out.
