Sorry if this has been posted about before, but I couldn't find anything about it.

Since I just finally signed up for the 10C yesterday, I went to hop on the forums on my phone last night and it's a mess. Unless there is a quote you can't read any of the text. It appears that it's just white text on top of the white forum. I use my phone as my main internet connection through out most of the day so this was kind of a let down. Anybody know of any work around for this by any chance?

On a somewhat side note, I don't know how much mods and admins that control this board read this kind of stuff but I would love to see something like http://www.tapatalk.com/ plugin installed on here. It's a nice way to read through forums I think. Just throwing that out there.

Sorry if I sound like I'm just a new guy complaining about stuff, it really wasn't intended that way haha.

    Don't try to access this via Safari, it won't work (as you found out).

    Go to the app store and download the PJ App. That will get you into the forums, but it's much more cumbersome than accessing via other methods. You can't access PMs or use smilies. And it's difficult to post a message with a quote due to a weird glitch with the scrolling function.

    But... at least you can keep in touch!

    Happy posting...

    Hey there welcome aboard! Try downloading the pearl jam app for the iPhone! The forums will work for you then! But unlost dogs is right no smilies and you can't read your pm's!

    Actually, you can. You can read them and reply. But you can't quote. You have to go to your profile, then login, then go back to your profile, then click on messages to access your inbox. But I reckon that's still not convenient. :|

    I find that the pj app for iphone works well for reading the forum. when I'm away from a computer I occassionally check in just to see whats going on, I don't post much anymore anyway so for me it works out good. simple posts and reading works fine on the app.
