Well, when we get the betas going, you (or someone) will have to try this and see how it works. It's one of our priorities to be accessible, and that will naturally lead to us having a useful mobile version of the site. If you find something that is broken this badly, say so on the mailing list (with steps to test it!) or file a bug, etc. We'll get it fixed. :) > Every time I try submitting a ticket on LJ for this problem, I see > several other tickets asking for help with the same thing, and we get > a variety of responses -- someone will usually have support really > listening and trying to compile data, someone else will get told "try > logging in and out" (and then the support person happily closes the > ticket), someone else will get told "install a new browser", and so on > and so on.

(But that's a side > issue!) As you said, this is a side issue to this particular thread. I do not want this mailing list to ever turn to LJ bashing, as by and large, LJ has done some incredible things over the years. Especially the support staff and volunteers, who have gone far, far above the call of duty to advocate for the userbase. Something to keep in mind is that with a system as complicated as LJ and with a technology ecosphere as diverse as this world has, no two requests are ever really and truly the same. If I saw several tickets with similar questions get different answers, I'd tend to assume that there's something else going on that makes the answers different, something non-obvious. -- Mark Smith / xb95 [email protected] _______________________________________________ dw-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dwscoalition.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dw-discuss
