I.T.T. site useless on the Tablet
 
I have searched and searched this forum (yes, really have) and have seen very few posts regarding how unusable this very site is when browsing on the tablet. It was bad in 2007, worse in OS2008. Freezes, crashes, or if you wait a few minutes for all components to load up, it still barely scrolls, click on a topic and wait again. I'm certain it's not a bandwidth issue on my end, I've not come across any web sites this bad on the IT. Turning off images won't work because you lose the top buttons and active topics text is unreadable. Am I the only one who has this problem? If so, is there a fix in some tablet settings?

If not, isn't there some irony here, that the site meant for users of the IT is unusable on the IT? If I get as far as seeing a topic I want to read, I have to go to my desktop to read it. Just because the IT has a wonderful LCD, the site should still be designed for a mobile device.

Works fine here on both my n770 2007HE (not front page, forums are fine, though) and n810

Funny, I just got an N810 for Christmas (after having spent lots of time lurking at ITT) and one of the first things I did was to use it to nav. to this site. I thought I had found a bug in the browser or OS as the browser locked up. I had to power off the device to get back!

This site should have a specific version designed for the N800. The frontpage is bloated and the links in the forums are too small to click. For instance, if you are navigating a thread with a lot of pages you have to use the stylus to jump from page to page because the numbers ( [1, 2, 3...] ) are too tiny to use the finger.

I have never crashed because of being on this site, with any browser, even my N800 with os2008.

However, my feeling, speaking bluntly, is that I feel like a SECOND CLASS CITIZEN when using my N800 to read this site. Things just don't work well. It's a big effort, but I use my N800 for browsing in general, and I use it EVEN WITH THIS SITE THAT IS PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT FOR THE N800.

Why go into all-caps mode, usually secret code for "I am obnoxious"?

Because the constant statements by N800 users about problems with this site have been largely ignored. I'm sure that many small changes have been made, and I appreciate that, but they haven't worked for me.

Does this link make any difference for you?

I having loading page (home page) problems with this site also, using N800 2008. I have to select "Show images-Never" in View option as a work around.

But it does not display posts in the same order as they are displayed on ITT home page.

Using Adblock Plus I have no problems using this site on my N800 with OS2008.

I do tend to use the Classic scheme, but the other layouts work fine too...

Strange, it works absolutely fine for me on OS2008 on my N800.
