Site iPhone unfriendly?

in Site feedback and Forum Help
Wanted to make a post from my iPhone on the way home while on the train and while the 'Title' box accepts text, the 'Message' box does not and is greyed out. Is this forum Flash based - unnecessary moving Smilies but no usability if you're on the iPhone. If this is just Flash based frippery then is there a non-Flash based version of this website to use?

Also - waaaaay too many Stickies. Can't you just creat ONE Sticky link that when clicked on, leads to a half dozen or however many Stickies you want to create? Just a thought.

    It works fine for me (just checked) and there is no flash. With you on the stickies though - far too many in some fourms, it reduces their importance.

    I used to have flash blocker turned on, this was one of few sites that was not affected at all.

    The stickies do take up a lot of space though.
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    It all depends on how you identify your iPhone apparently. If you identify it as an iPad or Firefox - it does not work. Even if you identify it as IE7 - it does not work. It did not work on the iPhone for me until I identified it as IE8. Totally werid.

    My iPhone 3G identifies itself as whatever the default is and it worked fine for me when I used it this morning.

    You don't 'identify' your iPhone unless you start messing with browser apps instead of using the standard browser.

    Yes I am 'messing' with browser apps - I have iCab installed as Safari sucks. I should've mentioned probably.
