would it be possible to bring back the lightyup icon next to the forum titles on the homepage so it's possible to tell if there have been new posts in the forum since the last visit?

cool I just had a look on the Openwave WAP simulator, I like it, I guess these pages work using wml.

Good idea, I even found useful last night when I got in at 2.00am and couldn't be bothered turning on the Computer, though it appeared I didn't miss much, I only had a look in the Granada endcap Thread, though its a page per message, it was quite fast loading, compared to other sites which are usually slow, or either that my Sony Ericsson T610 isn't very good.

On a technical note, does anyone know how I can tell whether the person visiting tvforum.co.uk/wap is from a web browser or mobile phone (bbc.co.uk/mobile certainly seems to do it)?


I use this code...

<?
if(preg_match("/vnd.wap.wml/",$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'])){
header("Location: wap/");
exit;
}
else {
// Do something for normal browsers here
}
?>

Done quit a bit of wap programming, including posting and suchlike - lemme know if you want to know anything more Smile

When I start WAP on Orange I get Orange World (which I presume is the Orange equivelent of VL), but my mobile phone (Sony Ercisson T610) has a 'Go To Website' option, which is very handy as I usually go to the BBC's WAP service alot.

Mine's also a Sony Ericsson - i'll give it a go.

Edit: It now works, found the enter address option. Very nice design. Weird how latest posts appear on your mobile.

Ignoring the Steve-o, a combination of new jobs with silly hours, moving house twice and having a load of other stuff to get done meant that I haven't been nosing about here nearly as much - plus pres is all dull at the moment so I haven't been bothering posting about it anyway! But hey, I still lurk fairly frequently, if only to see who's arguing with which troll Smile
