PriusChat Mobile! Easy to read PC for your mobile phone

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.

 

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

 

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!

 

You are most welcome.

 

Works for me -- thanks!

Two "blue sky" wish list items for browsing PriusChat on my iPhone are:

1. Instead of just a single greater-than or less-than sign for paging, a whole word would make a much easier touchscreen target. ("<Prev" and "Next>" to match "<<First" and "Last>>"?)

2. A mode where every link was forced to create a new page would actually be very helpful. I use tabs heavily when I'm doing sit-down browsing, and having links on PC spawn new pages on iPhone Safari would let me employ that browsing style on-the-go as well. (I've tried the various bookmarklets that should enable this feature for all links, but without any success.)

 

i sometimes use my iPhone to browse thru the forums, is it going to be any different?

I've been trying for a couple hours to access "My Posts" or "Threads I've Started" my BlackBerry. A couple times in the past I've lucked up and found them - but not today! Can you please help me with the path to follow to these features! Thanks.

 

Thanks for fixing the iPhone view!

 

Is the iPhone/mobile view still working? I couldn't find "Mobile Style" in the lower left.

I got an iPhone 3G late December 08 and recently have been wondering about a more lightweight view, esp. since the iPhone and its connection are much slower than my PC.

Any update on this? I saw the mobile version of the site for the first time today on a borrowed T-Mobile G1 (Google Android phone). I still see the full version on my iPhone 3G (w/o3.0 firmware).

I see no means of switching to/from mobile versions on either device in the lower left.
