I would like the same. I have a Qtek 9090 with Windows Mobile 2003 2nd edition. Before last site update it didn't allow moves, though I could see the board. After last update it doesn't display the board. Any tips - or do we have to wait for next site update?

you can probably view the board on legacy mode, but still not make any moves. Russ made ONE comment about possibly adding a text entry field for us on mobile computers.

My Settings -> My Board Settings -> "Note : If you are using an old web browser or a web browser with limited functionality and you are experiencing problems, please click here to select a reduced feature board type that may be compatible." -> Board type: Legacy or mobile

It worked, wonderful! Looking forward to be able to move as well in the (hopeful) near future. Thanks for your help, Coconut - og takk for hjelpen, Nordlys.

A slightly improved page layout for PDAs should be available soon - but I will need to rely on feedback from the community as to how successful it is.
