Would you use this feature if I added it to the site? You'd be able to read, post, read/send PMs, etc all from your Cell Phone/PDA/Mobile Device. Vote in the Poll.


UPDATE: Wireless Support Added: FireBlades.org goes Wireless!

But when you aren't near a desktop.... Like when you're out on a ride and want to see what ND4SPD's current post count is...

Oh yeah, if I owned a device that had that capability I am sure I would at least play with it, maybe even grow to love it. But I don't, so it's a moot point in my case... Ergo, I didn't vote.

Are you thinking of setting up WAP access? I don't use WAP...I like to see the pics and colors too much.

Re: Cell Phone/Wireless Web/PDA Access
Yes, WAP access.

It wouldn't be used when you were near a computer, but if you are traveling, and need to check a PM, or look up some information or something. That was the idea behind it.

Oh, and you will still get colors/graphics, be able to see avatars, etc. (If you have a color/graphic capable device.)

Re: Cell Phone/Wireless Web/PDA Access
Thanks Conq. I see alot of sites with that functionality. Never used it though. Guess I should look into setting it up and trying it out. It's been easier for me to just connect to my PDA and dial-in that way. Gonna go vote now.

Maybe I'm reading this poll wrong, I surf this site all the time with my sidekick, you just can't see the animated icons or play in the arcade but several of my limited posts have come from my phone.

Re: Cell Phone/Wireless Web/PDA Access
This will make it accessible via WAP. Some wireless devices have browsers that will work with the site as-is. Most don't though.

Not enough interest really. I may add it, but it would be for Supporting Members only, since it's a pricey little add-on.

I can get the site to come up on my Blackberry just fine. It's a little skewed because of the forms, but it's manageable
