I can view the rest of the site in its original format on my smart phone, but for some reason I can't view any boards. I'm using a Blackberry. Anyone know why? Thanks.

Is that no as in you don't know why I'm using a Blackberry or no as in you don't know why I can't view boards on it? :-)

The top link's BETTER as now I can see the board. Unfortunately I can't select/move the pieces! I don't have an iPhone so I didn't try the other link. :-(

If your phone's so smart, ask it why.

Have you got JavaScript enabled in your BlackBerry browser? By default it is turned off. Options - Browser Configuration - Support JavaScript. Also you'll find that a lot of stuff works better if you set the browser identification to Firefox a bit further down the same options page.

Hope that helps. 🙂

Thanks for the constructive suggestions. I have done both of the things you suggested but NO LUCK! Do they work immediately or do I have to reboot the phone? (That fixes most things!) I'm quite frustrated as I would really like to play away from my desktop...

IT'S WORKING! I had to exit the browser and then restart it.

Thanks, Gixxer.

And if he was, would that be a problem for you? The guy was only asking for some help. If you can't say something constructive then don't say anything at all.

Glad to hear it. 🙂

Another useful tip when playing on a BlackBerry is to position the cursor over the board and then press 'i' followed by 'o'. You should then be zoomed in so the board fills the screen (as best it can). BlackBerry has a lot less screen real-estate than most smartphones so you want to make the most of it.

Thanks again.

I just got my Blackberry so I'm still learning!
