PriusChat Mobile! Easy to read PC for your mobile phone

**Danny** · 02-28-2008, 12:46 PM

Prius owners are a group of tech-lovin' fools, so in order to help you feed your PriusChat addiction while you're on the subway, at a bus stop, in the doctor's office - wherever! - I've added a mobile "style". So, now when you type in http://priuschat.com/forums on your mobile device you'll be presented with a light-weight version of PriusChat. You'll be able to post new threads, reply to threads, check and send PMs and other functions you would find on the full version of PriusChat.

When you visit the homepage on your mobile device you'll still see the regular page - I'm working on making that page more "mobile-friendly". So for now just go straight to http://priuschat.com/forums on your PDA or phone.

Hey. No bad. A little tedious to type so I'll go back to the laptop now.

**TonyPSchaefer** · 02-28-2008, 12:54 PM

That's not too bad. Well done, Dan-o!

Or not so easy...

I tried to use my Samsung Sync SGH-A707 running NetFront v3.3 browser on the AT&T network to get on. I first got a message saying the page was too big and things might not display correctly. After that I entered my name and password to log on, checked the "Remember me" box, and hit the enter button. After a moment I got an error message: Method Not Allowed The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /404.html. Apache/ 1.3.41 Server at priuschat.com Port 80

The back button wouldn't back up a level. Trying to log in again gave the same result.

Danny --

This has been showing up on my iPhone for a few days, even if I just go to "priuschat.com" Not sure how I feel about it; for very limited web devices, I can see it being a benefit -- but I wasn't able to figure out some things I use all the time on that interface:

1. View My Profile (mostly so I could go back to the threads I've posted to recently)

2. Are all threads shown? This thread is #2-3 on the "new posts" display on my computer, but isn't visible on the mobile interface at all.

Anyway. I'll reserve judgement until I use it more, but it would be really handy to be able to opt out of this feature, since the iPhone does have a reasonably-complete browser on it...

Thanks!

I have accidently changed my board format from the default to the mobile version. I went back and changed it to default, but to no avail. I would like mobile version on my phone one day, but for now I really want the default mode back on my laptop. Can you help me? Thanks!

Pretty cool.

Now I'm waiting for a post like...

I'm stopped at a light and my Maintenance Required light just came on. What does that mean?

Or something like that.

Thanks for your help. I am still stuck in mobile mode and am unable to access any of PC's features.

Bill Merchant · 03-24-2008, 01:59 AM

Keri, try logging out of PriusChat and then log back in. Does that fix it?

Keri · 03-24-2008, 03:54 AM

Thanks Bill! I logged out and then back in and it worked! I am so glad. I love this Prius Chat and all of the great info and nice people. I log on and read every day and was lost without it!
