Since getting a jesus phone, I probably access the board at least once a day. The problem is the site has lots of 'extras' that really slow it down such as ebay and whos.amung.us.

I know several members on the board have iPhones so I cannot be the only one struggling to get my board fix whilst on the move.

Silky is there a slimmed down, pda friendly version of the board? Also do you have any stats on pda access?

u shld ask Harveyn! i remember at the first Cans Festival he mentioned something about spending thousands on his phone bills because he was checking this board whilst overseas or something...

If you Click PROFILE in the top menu, then MODIFY PROFILE, you will find an option that will remove images from the forum that should help speed things up a bit for you

Never tried it myself would seem a bit pointless going on a Art forum with no images ;D But anyway, thats an option.

I also have problems with the iPhone loading the forum slowly. The 3G has made it faster but sometimes I don't even bother because it drags it's feet.

Obviously it's ok on wifi...

[wave]

Anyone bagged a release yet with their iphone?

[richy00]

its not that slow, i find it ok to go on... was posting info from POW festival the other day

[Daniel Silk]

Is it that bad

hmmm Dont think Im gonna bother getting one of those then.

[jamieb]

bothers me, is pretty slow even on wifi on the 3G iPhone

bagged the 3D peace at last on my original iPhone (edge) last Ghetto

I've been trying to use the forum on iPhone and (even on WiFi so its not connection speed) the forum takes ages to load a page and often crashes the browser. Its cos its quite image heavy i think. Also, cos there are so many links on the pages, its very easy to navigate to a wrong page by mistake, sometimes after waiting ages for a page to load - so a bit of a nightmare in all.

The Profile option to reduce images sounds like it could be a good solution though - i'll give that a try.

[robo]

Hmm - then you lose all the lovely pictures of everyone's art. And you still get that huge Flash map at the bottom of each page (would be good to have that on its own page - i reckon thats an iPhone crasher on its own!)

I bagged the last Invader binary print on my iPhone..

Cheers for the tip on removing the images, but thats the bit I want to see. I didnt know if proboards offered an alternative URL that was cut down.

It would be nice if they did.

I'm now getting lightning Banksy forum access just on my laptop; but I will miss seeing everyone's photos of prints ;(

Don't suppose there's a way to leave just them switched on?

[robo]

Aargh - just when it had all improved you added a snowy background. Sorry Silky - I know it looks nice, but its killing my browser again!

[Curley]

I know a man who bagged a Nola on his iphone

[skylarkin]

Have no probs with the iphone on the site. yes a little slow, but thats only until the headers are loaded, each thread loads in quite quick, even on G3. Often sit on train to read, find that replying to forum a tad tricky, but then could be i have fat fingers
Latest iPhone upgrade may stop browser crashes...but at the end of the day its is a mac...what do you expect..?

[hero]

macs are great....

You removed the snow. Phew! It reported taking up 70% of my resources in Google Chrome's resource monitor.

Cool that 54 people hit this on a PS3! (What about Wii?)

(For the record I wasn't saying that Chrome was important for your specific consideration; just showing that it reports CPU usage very precisely per window)

[Daniel Silk]

Just a heads up to all Iphone and Touch users ;D

If you dont have it already, get the FREE Google Earth app from iTunes Its really clever ;D

mine too, it's a little slower on 3G but that's to be expected...

[tickz]

I think its fine on speed, it takes a little longer on 3g/edge but it gets there, the thing that bugs me is trying to get to page 2,3,4 etc of a thread (tell me if im doing something daft)!

[gbh]

I'm on an e71 and the performance all the forum is very ordinary. As mentioned in the OP, it's mainly down to all the extra crap that loads rather than the actual forum and content.
