Title: Trad Gang on a Blackberry?
Post by: Whip on August 11, 2009, 08:38:00 AM

I recently upgraded my phone to a Blackberry and love all the cool things it can do.  But one thing it is not so good at is browsing Trad Gang.  Every page required scrolling through a looonnnnggggg list of all of the pictures and banner ads before getting down to the thread, and loading all of those images takes forever.  

Is there a quicker way to access my favorite website from my phone?

no way around it, joe - unless you turn off loading images.

Would it be possible to sign up again with a different log on like "BBWhip" and turn off the images for that user?  I sure wouldn't want to miss out on all the great pictures under my regular log in.

no - we do not allow multiple registrations per member.  image control is via your browser and should be relatively easy to turn on and off as needed ... i'm using the firefox browser, i just went to the preferences/options, content tab, and clicked off the 'load images automatically' box, click 'close' to the window and refresh/reload the page - no more images.  i can go back anytime and check off that box, refresh/reload the page and ... voila, the images are back.

You're a wiz Rob!  Thanks, that's much better, and so easy to switch back and forth!
