Any chance of a WAP site?

It sure would be nice to visit this site from my phone

- I know there are WAP plugins for vBulletin. WAP based chat would rock even more!

Just an idea...

I don't need WAP, but it might be easier. My phone shows the site fine, but doesn't support flash for the chat. They have an ajax version of the chat, and I tried a demo but it didn't work too well on the phone either. Didn't see another option for that.

I can't login on my phone, neither with the built in browser or Opera mini. plus it's way too huge for a phone... I'd like a link to the AJAX chat if u have it

The Ajax chat skin is not up and running on clown-forum, but here's the site for it. I was going to offer to buy it for Princess if she would use it, but since it doesn't work on my iphone either I don't need it

Ajax Chat for FlashChat - 100% of the source files included, for users who wish to have a faster interface than the Flash version of FlashChat. You must already have FlashChat installed to use this add-on.

I found some WAP templates and will study their respective merits tomorrow

I'm posting this from Opera mini

I've installed a mobile template and device detection; Markie says it works on Opera Mini but won't log in with his Nokia. Azzy, how about your iPhone?

agh! It works... But, um, not to be a pest but it is much harder to read and use than the normal site. Give me a few minutes and I'll post a photo.

I'm gonna say I'd think that's true in Opera mini. Which is more designed to adapt full size pages.

But in the S60 browser, it looks WAY better and is way easier to navigate. BUT you can't login from the S60 browser...

Here's what it looks like on the iphone. I much prefer to zoom in on the normal site instead of this wap site - but I'd love to have an Option to switch between the two (wap is better if I have a slow connection I guess).

It's like MLB.com and MSNBC.com - the iphone browser CAN support them, and sometimes I want to see the whole site - but they don't let me, they always force me into the WAP site...
