Default Corvette Forum "Lite"?

Will there be a mobile version of CF in the future?

It's pretty difficult to navigate on my cell.

There already is two versions for mobile handheld devices. In the bottom left corner of your screen, click on the drop-down arrow to find the the following two:

Iphone Style 2
Mobile Style

Select either one with your mobile handheld device and you should see a "lite" version of the forum.

I did this a few months ago and all worked well until the other day when my phone just switched back to the regular version. I've tried repeatedly to switch it back to mobile style but it isn't working. Do you know if this is a forum issue or a vender "Verizon" issue?

I'm not aware of any forum issue. What is it exactly doing?

I would click on one of the following links, ONLY using your mobile phone, and also bookmark it in your mobile device:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/index.php?styleid=128 (Iphone Style 2)
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/index.php?styleid=124 (Mobile Style)

I've repeatedly tried all of the above links with the same results. They just don't load. When I access the forum on my phone I get the same screen I get on my desktop; the one with all the avatars and sponsor pics along the side. I've been using the "mobile style" link and it has worked just fine until the other day when it switched views for some reason.

The links are "hard coded" to their respective templates. I tried the links on my desktop and my Android and they load and display as expected.

When you say they won't load, do you receive an error message? A server error?

No. When I clicked on the link the webpage reloaded but not to the link selected. Instead it reloaded the same page I was on before. It seems like I may be having a problem with my phone since no one else has been posting any problems with the link.
