    Just wondering if any consideration has been given to having an alternate version of TalkBass for mobile phones and Blackberrys and such. Lots of sites have a "m." version that leaves out graphics and other data-rich stuff that you cannot see on a mobile unit anyway, allowing the user to read the info they're looking for faster. This would make it easier to ask questions on the forum from a gig, for example, and get an answer quickly instead of waiting 60-90 seconds for each page to load. Or maybe it already exists...?

    I don't know how to do this on my mobile phone. Is that all there is to it?...

    Will subscribing give me a password to get to a website that just has the text version of these forums? Or will it just provide a little bit more money to the website developers so that they might be able to develop a mobile version?

    You don't have to post in a thread to be able to subscribe. But it's a good way to indicate you're interested in the thread.

    I have the iPhone and the pages load decently quick. Flash does not display so that just means I do not have to see the ads. I will probably upgrade my iPhone next month so I can get the 1.4 mbps downloads.
