I'm not entirely sure if this is the proper place to post this. My apologies if this was the wrong arena. I'm accustomed to surfing websites on my mobile, especially news-sites. Full-web sites, no WAP or other pseudo-web thing.
Unfortunately OSnews feeds my Opera Mini(on a HTC TyTn II if that matters) a downscaled adapted version. This is probably great for those who are using a crappy browser that can't handle full HTML or have expensive mobile net.
Some of us would like the full HTML version on our mobiles
Doing one of these things would be great IMO:
- Have OSnews.com always serve a proper HTML page regardless of the device retrieving it, and have m.OSnews.com for mobile
- Continue as now, but at the top page include a link to a preferences page where you can set if you prefer the full HTML or mobile version. (And this setting is of course remembered!)
I shall be thankfull if any or the proposed solutions or something else that fixes the problem are implemente

1. I couldn't moderate
2. I had to post to login
3. Login wasn't working. It kept saying I needed to put in a username and password - which I had.
4. I couldn't see features like conversations and staff blogs.
I switched on my Palm Centro (Opera Mini 4) for these reasons. Not whining, love you guys.

There is no "login" on the mobile site, because many mobile browsers don't support cookies. Instead, you enter your credentials each time you post.
1. No moderation on mobile, because there is no login, see above.
2. See above.
3. See above.
4. That's legit, we've not backported those to mobile yet, and I don't know if we ever will.

Actually #3 is different:
3. Login wasn't working. It kept saying I needed to put in a username and password - which I had.
This happened everytime I tried to post a comment. Basically I could not post a comment because it would always fail saying I had not entered a username and password even though I had. Thus I could not post from my Centro on the mobile site.

Thank you!
Sorry for not checking your page thorougly enough. (You might want to consider having this on the top, I've seen that implemented on quite many sites.)
I have a question though: That 30-day cookie thing. Does it update to last another 30-days each time I'm on OSnews or do I have to set that thingie every 30 days?
