red hot ... on my mobile phone

I have a new mobile phone that has a full web browser ... I can get to the redhot front page, but when I do, the red bar across the top to log on is not there.

(1)
Does anyone know of another place to log on

(2)
Is there a separate mobile based url (www) that is made for access via mobile phone internet browsers?

Note: As a non subscriber you'll find that the mobile site has a limit of 500 moves (the 'normal' sites are not affected - only mobile.redhotpawn.com).

Java needs to be running.

I believe this information needs to be posted on the FAQ page.

I have not been able to get my phone to show a board yet. A few chessmen here and some over there, but nothing I can use. I tried to set to the older settings. I'll try older Micro board. Any help from a site administrator would be Great.😀

The Opera browser works fine for me. Have you tried this?

I've tried all I know. I have opera running, (thanks, this helped some) I've tried many board sizes and styles, including the basic low performance option. I can see the pawn which was captured on the last move but no board or even a sample board. I can see all of the text and several pages. It's like I can only see the right side of the page when the board is small or standard size. The board is on the left on my desktop.
Do I need to be a subscriber to get the game on my phone?
Give every detail you can please.
Board size
Set type
Board color
Do I need to go to the analyze page to see the board?
How do I make a move with my phone?
Do I type in my move ( e2-e4) or highlight the squares?
Thanks.

There is an option on the board settings page - it's a link in the text between the "board size" drop down and the sample board. The link sets your board up to be a reduced feature board - it's there for providing an interface that can be used through browsers that have "funnies" in their javascript etc.
Try that with http://mobile.redhotpawn.com

Well, It's either my V3Razor or operator error. I can figure out the position by using the FEN, can I make a move by using the FEN?
Black is in Check.
Basically from:
3r1rk1/pbq1p1b1/1p2B1pp/2p1n3/N1P5/PP2P3/5PPP/R1B1QRK1
to:
3r1r1k/pbq1p1b1/1p2B1pp/2p1n3/N1P5/PP2P3/5PPP/R1B1QRK1
or
3r1rk1/pbq1pnb1/1p2B1pp/2p5/N1P5/PP2P3/5PPP/R1B1QRK1
or
3r2k1/pbq1prb1/1p2B1pp/2p1n3/N1P5/PP2P3/5PPP/R1B1QRK1
Is there a method to enter the move like this???

Not as far as I know.


The 'submit' button uses the following hidden parameters -
srcxfile
srcyrank
tgtxfile
tgtyrank

They specify the source and target locations of a move using a numeric coordinate system starting at a8 = 0,0 and h1 = 7,7. The form is posted back to the same page using another parameter that states a move is being made (actiontype=moverequest).

So to specify an opening move for example of d2-d4 you'd need to first translate the chess notation to the coordinate system (3,6 - 3,4) and then construct the following to add to the game URL and request the page.

.../core/playchess.php?gameid=XXXXXXX&actiontype=moverequest&srcxfile=3&srcyrank=6&tgtxfile=3&tgtyrank=4

The move will be validated and rejected if it's illegal - but be careful in working out the coordinates properly or you could end up moving something either too far or not far enough.
