Haven't updated my Iphone in 4-5 months, the version i'm using works nicely now, much better than the last few weeks.

thanks alot.

I have no crash issues, although I'm running Win7.

the reason why there is no way to force the iPhone to use non-mobile versions of sites is because it's supposed to ignore mobile CSS anyway. I've tested this with a site I built for work recently. That's why I'm surprised this is an issue.

still blank?

hopefully they'll get that working soon.

it's certainly NOT ignoring mobile web which glitch or not needs to be an option in any mobile browser... glen

Yeah still blank.

Thanks for the feedback here... We'll work on fixing this but we have something else we need to handle now... I want to set expectations that we may have Jemsite working fine on iPhone in the next 48 hours but it may take us a week - again - we have a pressing issue to handle.

We will post here as we make changes and solicit your feedback.

We've made some changes - Can iPhone users check Jemsite on their iPhone and report back?

Thanks!

Well the site is loading up again, which is fantastic, and it has the standard style sheet loaded. Although it's doing something a little weird. It is loading a section of stuff that is typically found at the bottom of the site to the side, so it's like two columns.

If you have Safari installed check it out in the Developer mode with the iPhone user agent. If you cannot install Safari I'll try an do screenshot soon. Just gotta put my little man to bed now.

Here's the screenshot from Safari for Windows in iPhone mode.

Wonderfull, much much much better. The latest threads page loaded slightly zoomed out with an odd grey boarder around the bottom and right side but the threads them selves look excelent. You can't zoom out further than full screen on an iPhone so the grey boarder must have been something rendered by the website.

LonePhantom · #25 11-04-2009, 06:51 AM

Yeah thread pages are just right I think now. Altough cutting out a bunch of the stuff like the ad banners, etc would be preferable as they add to download times (and cellular data usage) on mobile devices.

Thanks for the input. We'll look into it.

Thanks for the effort.
I know I'm in a minority, but it even looks better under Windows Mobile!
Cheers,
Jim

hopefully they can get that "what's going on" section flowing down not right.

opera mini in mobile view or regular view looks FANTASTIC with jemsite fwiw

Hope my last fix made the homepage better. Give me a feedback if any of the other pages look bad.

**jemsite** · #30 11-04-2009, 01:07 PM

looks better in safari developer mode using iPhone agent.

is there a way to flow the top banners not locking 4 per row but instead allowing them to freely flow/wrap? that would improve the mobile experience (and those on low res) imho as it would eliminate horizontal scrolling... glen
