So, I'm sitting in my local Shoney's waiting for a breakfast meeting to begin. I thought I wonder what the bbs will look like on my palm? In case you haven't tried it, it looks very good! I'm using a nokia 8290 and a palm m500 connected via infared.

This brought up several ideas.
1. Is anyone familiar enough with Avantgo to make the bbs available through that medium? This would allow new posts to be downloaded during a hotsync and then read throuqhout the day.
2. Has anyone viewed the page on a color pda?

After typing this out at the restaurant I of course found that it wouldn't let me post. "The host you are trying to send this from is not a valid host." My palm is capable of receiving cookies (mentioned as a possibility in the error message.) This is probably all very simple but I am not a hacker, cubicle dweller, or even a super user really.

So there are three questions really, any feedback will be helpful.

Greetings!

If you were using Avant Go, you would not be able to post any replies. You would be able to download the most recent content, though... I know that Joe D'Andrea was using Avant Go at one time for his band's website. I will forward this thread to him.

As to posting replies, I am not certain. How were you connected again? I can only think that you were palm -> IR -> phone -> web... Maybe the chaining of devices...

Yup. I know plenty about AvantGo. The trick of course is making it usable and intuitive on a small display.

I would be interested to know if UBBThreads supports AvantGo natively. If not, the devil will be in the details of getting UBB to have an AvantGo "face" if you will.

Paul, you've gotta send me the code for that sig.

I also could't post using Pocket IE on my iPaq, and got a similar cookie related error, even though I know it accepted the cookie. Seems to only be a problem with the newer UBBThreads, as I did post using my iPaq back when I was heading to the first US empeg meet, and the BBS ran PHPThreads.

I don't know if it will be any help, but...

I used to get the exact same error when I first signed up for this board. I was trying to post from home on a Win2k box running IE 5.5. Through suggestion, I managed to single out the software firewall (ZAPro). I fiddled with options that I could set specific to the website, and was finally able to post once I turned off a privacy option called "Remove private header information." And according to the firewall, that is cookie related.

Paul, you've gotta send me the code for that sig.

I'm pretty sure it's just an animated GIF, but nevertheless, it's quite cool

Greetings!

Actually, I have been messing with it a little bit. Since it is on my server, it can be modified on the fly. It wasn't animated to start with, but it is now. The only way I could say what I wanted in 100 characters or less...

I meant to ask you, where is your last name from? It's quite interesting...
Sorry for the off topic off topic

Greetings!

Not a problem. It is Polish in origin, but my family has been in the US for at least four generations, so I only know the pronunciation of a pitiful few words (mostly names, numbers or profanity). The GRZ combination is actually pronouncable in Polish (jzheh - lock) but the English pronunciation just reverses the letters (grez - lack).

That's right
palm m500 by irda to infared port on a nokia 8290 which is using a dial up isp

I'm not sure about the cookie issue, I can log on and read, I just can't post.
