I don't have much time to explore as I have a one year old's birthday party to attend right now, but it looks almost as bright and colourful as all of his presents, which is a good thing. My only quibble so far is that it is harder to navigate on the BB because of the way the avitars are now displayed (at the bottom of a post, presumably cos they are on the right of the screen now) and because people's signatures appear directly under text with no space to distinguish between their original thoughts and their signatures. Good work!

Rex had same issue. You can turn off sigs and avatars which should make navigation easier

[Eve]

Edit: What she said!

[limecat]

stupid people using stupid blackberry things to browse the stupid web

[Tara]

I've done as suggested and tbh it's still difficult to navigate, but I figure that's the blackberry's limitations rather than the site.

I'm loving the "Manage Foes" facility. And I love the bit that summarises my activity. Tell me, does everyone have access to that, or am I the only one who knows which topic accounts for nearly 10% of my posts?

probably just you...and maybe me and the other mods as well. i'm sure that others could make an educated guess though.

We can search again? Yeah!

Now how does this foes thing work? I mean how will I actually know I'm ignoring Slip... I mean somebody if it's working properly? I mean how do I know they're just not posting? And why should I care?

More blackberry specific gripes - it's very hard to make out new posts and my name doesn't show up in bold blue.

As Slipper1 just demonstrated I'm afraid you're wrong Limey.

I share your most active topic Tara - slightly less of a landslide victory though

Having already added several foes to my list I can tell you that their posts appear in spoiler format.

I like the way you're stopped from posting if another post has been made in the interim and given the option to reconsider!

or you could just click on her name (or is that a mod function )

Sigh, I remember when you were considered a serious rugby woman!

Ah is that what it was doing?

Nope. It works for all of us! I can see this being a valuable tool in future debates.

Next question - why did my Blackberry go from "GPRS" to "EDGE" when I came out of that last tunnel?

That was before you got to know me

1.4% of me has been led astray

Hmmm, it doesn't seem to work for all of us on all posters, which makes me think you can turn the function off. I've searched in vain thru all the user preference screens and can't figure it out tho - not that it would be of much personal use at this point.

[sarah_lennon]

I think it's only consultants that have it turned off.....

[Eve]

Seems some numbers are too large to be crunched!

[sarah_lennon]

thankfully....
