Only thing i've noticed is that all the threads are highlighted so you don't know which ones have new posts or not?

LOL at those complaining at no pictures

I'm running a Touch HD using Opera for PocketPC and am getting the column widths too narrow, making the pages very large. I'll play around with text size to see if that makes a difference.

The reason I’ve got problems is because this is my view…..







It was perfect until the minute it changed to a wap friendly one the other day. All other websites are fine on the phone. (N95 8GB).

I know its got to be a problem with my phone or settings but I’ve tried everything and don’t know how to resolve it????? Any ideas?

The message post box is too small, when you reach the end the cursor just disappears.
Is there any way to use the old version, to look a pictures for example?

Its just a different browser to access the web but you should find that the download speeds are a revelation compared to the original supplied one!! The page scroll tool is nice too.
Just installed this on my 5800 from www.mini.opera.com, that's where it sends you to download it on your phone. Looks quite good! Thanks for the advice!

When viewing this site though, the random garage pictures show up fine, but I can't view any from the Members Gallery Any ideas?

This option would be very useful for those users who have mobiles with WAP browsers that are capable of viewing the full site - eg the WAP version of facebook has an option on its front page to switch to the full site so that users with certain browsers (ie Opera mini, which has been mentioned here) can view the full content.

Moderators can you please tap up the relevant parties to see if this option is feasible. Cheers.

I can view both on my mobile, the pre-installed browser views the standard site, Opera views the mobile site.
Opera works far quicker but doesn't show the pics.

Exactly the same as the last two posts above above for me.

Used scoobynet daily on Opera via my mobile and it was absolutely superb.
The day the mobile version went live that was the end of it for me. Never worth viewing scoobynet any more I’m afraid.
That’s the pictures just above of how I have to view scoobynet now. Complete waste of time. Unfortunately the mobile version appears not to be compatible with all browsers.

I’d really like the mobile or desktop version option please (Same as you get with google home page too), which would solve my problem as Opera always looks for a mobile version.

Can Internet Brands Stu please get back to us and let us know

The mobile version works brilliant on both mini Opera and the standard Nokia browsers on my N95 too, but before the mobile site was introduced you used to be able to view the full contents with mini Opera on the N95 as if on a normal PC/Mac - if I go to Members Gallery I cannot see any images in the posts, nor can I see full smilies, or the image below:

Hi guys,
We cant offer the version you want that gives you the option at teh moment but if you can tell me what teh phones in question announce themselves as I can have a look at tweaking the parameters a little so the newer phones get sent the full version.

I have a HTC Touch Pro running Opera and it always loads the full version.

What is the URL for the WAP version?

Stu – reading through the posts even some people who can access the full site are not seeing the pictures, etc. Is the mobile site causing more problems than it’s worth?
If I’ve got it right it came about through “Jonnys3” requesting a quicker way of viewing scoobynet on his mobile (at the start of this thread). We gave him that by directing him to Opera, which is great.
If you look at post #44 above he says Opera was working fine until the mobile version came about! Do we really need it????



For the record I’ve just upgraded to the latest firmware on my Nokia N95 8GB.
The standard browser will now view the pictures but its so slow its hardly worth the wait – that’s not scoobynet’s fault – the standard browser is generally slow with everything. (And that was Jonnys original problem too)
With the Opera browser, it’s still the same, viewing a very limited mobile version of scoobynet, which isn’t worth viewing at all (same as the piccys post #36 above).

Opera will always look for a mobile version and that’s our problem, if it wasn’t there the full site would load up rapidly, pictures and all, on Opera.

A valid point mate. I will disable it for now until I get time to look into the phone codes to only enable it for non opera compatibles and teh like.

That’s it – brilliant – thanks Stewart.
Opera can now view the whole scoobynet site, pictures and all, and is as fast as ever compared to the standard phone browser.
I hope this rectifies most of the problems others were experiencing too.
Thanks for sorting this, Carl.

I agree, bring it back, maybe give it a seperate URL, or make an option to choose version.

Worked fine on my 5800, BB and Opera Mini on the BB.
Maybe one of the problems with text not displaying is font size chosen on the device.

Bring back SN Mobile, NOOOOWWWW !!

As for do we really need it.... I think the answer is YES. Does my opinion count? And Trout's

Yes of course it does Snazy and Trout.

Hopefully Stu can sort something out in the near future to help us all out, but take a look at the pictures in post #36 above. (That’s meant to be members gallery by the way!) That’s what you get with scoobynet mobile on Opera and it can happen with standard browsers too.
If you can still view scoobynet as it looks normally on a pc but its just running slow on your phone than that’s got to be preferable to what was being viewed above for others (i.e. virtually un-useable, no photos, etc, etc).

Hopefully it can be resolved with something like the version option or url as has been suggested to keep everyone sweet.

As it is now works brill for me on my 5800. It loads quickly and everything is displayed, including the pictures. I'd vote for leaving it as it is now
