Yes - the old catalog is/has been available to browse. As you note - the new one is not - but should be.

Does it matter that it is a one way street? Why would you want to change back on the IT?

because if theres a choice of styles, a user expects it to be available in each style so he can try all the styles several times until he knows which is best.

i'm not sure about maemo.org, thats pretty much ok, but itt is really a funny creature in that it causes so many problems on the device its about. double-rendering of first page, links too small (try to tap on the "1234...last"-links within a forum thread without zoom), strange flash stuff that makes the browser crash until you find you have to turn flash off...

well, it still is a great site content-wise. and i heard there'll be a re-design.

Need some features that ONLY available on the 'black' version, so would be flexible if allow the choice. Once in a hotel with poor wifi, needed to try several versions to see which is the best, as kindly pointed out by Benny above, stucked in a version that cannot post and cannot come back to the 'black'........., I 'regret' to confess, a wince machine bail me out

I missed the mobile version choices... sorry, but...

The problem with the Maemo site is that the orange search box (CSS) fills the top of the screen when you go into a section. If you're searching that might be ok (if the frickin' search feature was a bit smarter - look at the libraries, guys), but if you're just looking to see what's new, and what's changed, it's really annoying to scroll down two screens to get to anything interesting. Also, it's too heavy when it doesn't need to be. Can you say 'Craigslist'.

I must admit that I do find the ITT site very useful, but the black version is a bit odd on the IT. You can't see the text entry boxes for the search functionality, and the whole thing is a bit heavy.

The lack of a "style chooser" in the Mobile styles is an annoying ommission but it's either a bug in the styles or in vBulletin as it's the same problem on other vBulletin forums which also offer these same styles.

If you want to get back to Dark from one of the other styles, use the link in the following thread:

I do agree: On the N800 with good internet connections the MicroB browser uses several seconds to upload and sometimes blocks. Opera is a little bit better but certanly the sites should be optimized.
