thanks for sending pm to kat
On my iPod Touch now can't view the forum as before.
Before it looked just like it does on a computer screen.
Now it seems to be grabbing the text and reformatting.
The logo up top is gone. View Your Posts is gone as is all of the options and text at the top are gone. The color-sides of the window is gone. Bottom graphics are gone. Bottom list of active users is gone. Pretty much most is gone.
Looking at the home page of forums.pearljam.com you see a black bar with white text saying "Pearl Jam's Music" with white below that with "the porch", "given to fly" and "Words and Music...." in orange against a white background. This repeats for all of the other forums below that, black bar with white text, then white space with orange text.
When you scroll below those black-bars with the heading for the forums, the only other option is "back to top".
When you click on a forum again all graphics are gone, and there's no text at the top like "view your posts".... all that is gone. You see the PJ buttons on the left side. Background is white - text in orange.
When you look at a thread, the subject has a black background with white text. The rest is white background with white text (or all white to the eye). Only the quoted text shows up in white with a gray "bubble" around the text. It is a darker gray background for original quotes, then lighter as the quotes of quotes are more recent. Fresh quotes have a white background, but with white text, it's 100% invisible.
...there's no way to choose "edit your profile" or "view your posts" or "PJ Home" as everything above and below and to the sides are gone. The little that remains is reformated, mostly invisible white text on white background (or just not there - I'm assuming white text on white background).
This is fairly recent. I only noticed on my iPod Touch yesterday.
I don't use an APP. This is when I use the iPod Touch just thru Safari.

I bought the app right away when it came out, but I don't really like it as much as I thought I would. You can't use the PM function. You can't tell if there have been more posts in a thread since you last visited. You can't click on a thread and go right to where you left off. You have to scroll to the bottom of each page to skip to another page, and you can only skip to the next 4 pages or the very last page. So in a really long thread it can take forever to even find your place. You can't view only the threads you have posted in. Et cetera.
I know there are much more important things in the world to care about and I'm sure it's a work in progress. Just giving my $0.02 about why I don't use it and why I don't want to use a mobile version of the website that is more like the app.

Fight to get it back again!!!
I don't have the APP, and just viewing the site on my ipod is problematic.

i just got the new iphone and was contemplating it, but when i went to go to the site on safari i realised the problem everyone is talking about
That's what I'd say - don't buy it unless they get it fixed.
If you have the app really the only problem is reading your messages. But I have an answer to that in the "answer to forum on iPhone" thread. If you don't have the app then you can't read the post on the mobile site. So the app is the best choice when using the iPhone. they need to give us an option of viewing in classic.
i think i read that the other day, something to do with copying and pasting or something?
I'd rather them just fix the stupid thing before i give them my 1.99.
I'm no longer able to post anything from the app either though. Plus, the format is just more burdensome in general.
Edit: I was just able to post from the app on my second try, after being logged out on the first try. Still sucks if you write a long post and then it says you're logged out and you have to re-write everything. As long as it's inconsistent, I still say it's not worth it. Very frustrating.
Its not something i need to have, i dont neeeed to check the board every second.
Its not as important as the angry birds app, is what i'm saying

...yeah, it seems like the background color in Safari ipod/iphone issue became an issue right when they were releasing the APP. I hope they didn't sabotage one to make money in the other. I used to read this forum on my iphone every morning. Now I don't. So I end up using this website less. (3 hours a day instead of 4

The only way to see the site is to buy the app. Going through safari to pearljam.com and logging on to the forum is not iPhone friendly, you can't see anything. If you want to check your pm's.... Checkout my thread "answer to forum on the iPhone."
So the app works? It does not have the white-on-white text issue? I was under the impression that it did...
I'm using the app now. No issues other than the pm's... You are limited on things you can do like seeing your and other members avatars. You cant add your own profile pic/ avatar. Can't see your post count, can't do a search for a certain thread. I'm sure there are others thing you can't do. It's worth it though.
EDIT: Ok so i can read it now on my Mac. The App is not a good alternative. Sure you can see everything, but it's slow as hell and takes ages to load. I like having multiple threads open at once. Also, it turns off music when you load it? Sucky. Come on, it ain't hard to modify the iPhone stylesheet for us.
