I dearly love my little n800 (os 2008). My wife thinks I should marry it. But ironically, one of the hardest things to do with it is to read and search this forum. Kudos to the forum gang, this is a GREAT forum, a real community, as the recent tale of penguinbait's lost nokia iillustrates. That said, there are a couple of minor but annoying problems that could be easily fixed by the all powerful webmaster.

The teeny tiny numbers marking the following pages (1, 2,3, etc) in each thread are ok on a big pc, but devilishly hard to hit with a stylus. Bumping up the font size on the numbers a notch or two, maybe adding a little more space aroiund each digit, would really help.

Search function is very tricky. On the tablet, the search box opens way down the page underneath the virtual keyboard. Worse yet, tapping inside the box does not bring up the keyboard. I finallly figured out that only advanced search actuallly works in this fashion, but also adds another page load which makes searching less efficient time-wise.

Thanks again to all the gurus who have helped to make this little box of miracles the best invention since sliced bread!

Check out the themes selection at the bottom of the page. One of the Mobile's just might be to your liking. hth

Well, the mobiles might work, but some of them leave important things out; a lot of us use Classic, with some custom CSS.

Thanks for the tip, grog. I never noticed that little drop down menu box for skins. That solves the search problem nicely. But the mobile skins have the same itty bitty little numbers to advance through the thread.

The custom CSS only works properly with the classic skin, but it does give big fat page numbers. The itT CSS was adapted from what I rigged up on my own tablet, as seen in this screenshot, it uses screen space better than Classic normally does, and has finger-friendly navigation:

Hey Benson - how do we enable itT CSS on our N810s?

TIA,

Steve

PS last night got google talk with video working between the N810 and my home computer. I had my 14 year old daughter on the home computer in the other room. I put the tablet in front of the cat and he was very interested - his ears would perk up, and with my kid's face filling the tablet screen and her voice coming out of it, he did not know what to think!

Loving the n810 more every day (today is day 4).

In post #3, I put a link to the thread where brontide is maintaining a bundle of css; #1 in that thread has general info, and the download; #2 has the question how to install, and #3 has your answer...

Note that I have not tried brontide's stuff yet. I use my own stuff, and haven't got around to merging his in, so I don't know exactly how they compare for itT. Brontide has CSS for a lot of other sites, too, though; I'm not saying it's worse or anything, just that it may not look exactly like mine in the screenshot.

How about telling us all the particular steps or a link for what you did to get google talk w/ video working from n810 to PC?
I tried gizmo recently and google talk a while ago, and they did not work.

I second this. Please give us a brief what-I-did.

My experiences with video on gizmo and googletalk have been unsatisfactory to say the least. I used GoogleTalk once with my N800 and not at all on my N810.

I have Gizmo5 and use it for the GCDialer app. Honestly I haven't tinkered with Gizmo Video in a while, tho, they may have improved the app by now.
