Anyone Else Have Issues Using Mamapedia on Their Phone?

I have a Blackberry that I have been using since we moved. (We don't have internet yet). I have had a lot of problems trying to use this site... The first is trying to log on. I can't just click the log in button... That gets absolutely no response, so I have to hit the 'sign up now' button, which takes me to a screen where I have to click 'already a member' and log in through there. It doesn't help that my phone is S-L-O-W so that extra navigation takes quite a while. My other main issue is that I can't ANSWER any questions! Nothing happens when I click the reply button. It gets a little frustrating, and I'm wondering if it's just my phone that has issues, or if this site just isn't compatible with phones in general. How does it work from your phone if you use one? Sigh. It would be so much easier if Mamapedia would make an app... (Hint hint. Lol)

What can I do next?

Some sites have mobile versions this does not. It is trying to cram everything you see on a computer on to the phone. I use ad block on my phone which cuts down on the riff raff. I don't think blackberries have that, my husbands does not.

It is not meant to be viewed through mobile devices and I can't see the powers that be going through the expense of coding a new version or buying out of the box.

The buttons may not be working because they page isn't loaded up when you try to click it. You would not believe how long these pages take to load. :( All the freaking adverts! One reason I laugh when people point out we don't pay to use this site. Really, I have a very slow computer that says otherwise. :)

Okay droid folks, there is an app for that, iAnything, sorry you picked the phone that doesn't let you use the useful apps. I would bet my bottom dollar iStuff has a app that will block the ads but it is expensive.

I have a "smart" phone - the LG Android - I sometimes have problems...it's because I don't enlarge the screen before I try to log in...you know - big fingers in little places!?! LOL!!

Last night, I did have problems with the ads popping up, however, for me it doesn't happen that often...but it has happened....i just close out and expand the screen.

I cannot access Mamapedia on my brand new Iphone either, and that's half the reason I bought ! Grrr.

Might be nice if they had a free app.

I don;t have any serious issues with my HTC Evo. My only problems are I have to sign in each time if I have signed in on my laptop and I can't view page after page unless I do it continuously because it times out. Then I have to start over even if I am on page 5 of the questions. I guess I am lucky!

I am on an iPhone and have issues as well. I can get to the site and even respond if I wanted to but get a pop up right over the copy so I cannot read anything. The worst part is, I cannot close the pop up. I sent a support ticket in and never got a response from Mamapedia. I haven't tried on my phone in a couple weeks so I have no idea if the problem is still there.
