Mobile Site Direct Link?

**ksong12** · 03-01-08, 05:40 PM

Perhaps somebody knows...

Does anybody know what is, if there is, a direct link to the mobile version of the site?

Safari doesn't trigger the mobile site.

This link http://mobilitysite.com/ gets me the mobile version from my X50v - just to let you know

Yes, it does, but NOT on other mobile browsers including mobile Safari and Opera Mini (which is my favorite WM mobile browser). So, Chris, or anyone else, what is the direct mobile link to Mobilitysite and Aximsite for those browsers which don't automatically trigger the mobile version.

Now if only I figure out the opposite, and view the full CNN web page on Opera Mini!

CNN - well:

To get a 'fullsize' view then I'm using TogglePIE just to pretend to be another explorer.

It works fine on my ax but I don't know if it will work on other platforms.

...and my Opera Mini is set to view full pages. Works for every other site except CNN.

Still the original question, does anyone know the direct mobile link for THIS site... anyone...

DNS settings seem to be a little bit different for Aximsite than what I am accustomed to... no subdomain listings show when I do a DNS lookup.

I doubt that would be it anyway. Chances are, it's a style along with a mod that detects mobile browsers (that doesn't include Opera and Safari). Fooling around with php arguments, but I doubt it'll get it by guessing it :)

Hmm, you'd think there would just be a mobile URL (which is really becoming normal and commonplace). I agree though, I love browsing these sites via my HTC. But, now that I use Opera Mini mostly, and will soon just have an iPhone - if there's no mobile version (that works on those devices), well...

Yep - and when the website ask about your browser info you may 'fool' the website with TogglePIE.

Your browser information may been seen here

It isn't too bad with full version on iPhone, its just that those flashy ads take up a lot of resources.

Oh, if that's the problem why don't you just try this link ?

It's a decent way to do it, but still not as good as the mobile version. Thanks for that help tho!

It's too bad, I PM Chris about it there is a mobile link, and he totally ignored me.

Unfortunately, Skweezer makes it much worse than it already is. Makes forum posts unreadable, puts a billion links where the menu would have been, and I don't think I can log in.

You're right but try to click on the link on the very buttom of Skweezer to see what happens:

Page optimized for mobile device, click here to view without Skweezer

... and tell me what happens :)

I can log in !

a billion ?
If you want any help here then state the facts, dude

edge777 · 03-04-08, 11:32 PM

Well, I almost thought we had something there (it looked great once I exited the Skweezer)... and then I hit a link, and we're back in the full version... oh well... maybe, just maybe, Chris will see this, read my PM or something, and give the solution.

Oh, give the poor guy a break with "billion" - hyperbole, it's something we use in the English language - we're writing posts here, not measuring for a science project. But anyway, thanks for your help and time!
