Don't ignore - I realise what's happening now...

When I use the 'New Posts' feature, which I do all the time, in order to keep abreast of all forums, the URL it calls includes the following... &exclude=107 ...which means no posts from the Kidz forum get output in the search results.

However when I access The Dibb on my Blackberry, which I also do quite a bit, and also use New Posts, this exclude is not used in the 'Mobile' style. This means that users on the 'Mobile' receive lots of threads that they probably have no interest in and, because the Mobile forum is very lite and doesn't list the forum for each thread, the user does not know it is a 'kidz' post until they open it and find a world of txt speek.

So, can the New Posts function in the Mobile style please be made to be the same as that on the 'DIBB' style please. Sir. Please.

I will stick it on the TODO list.

How do you find the blackberry? Last time I had a play with one it was painfully slow and it wouldn't let me log into my webmail.

It's a delight. It's fab for office mail which it's designed for, of course.

For webmail I use Googlemail and have downloaded the specific Blackberry Googlemail application which, because it's purpose-built is pretty feature rich and easy to use. The Facebook application is also pretty neat, especially the way it integrates with the Blackberry on-board camera so you can upload a piccy to go along with your status change message.

It also has GPS built-in and comes with maps of you can use with Google maps too. Quite handy when on the streets on foot so don't have TomTom for company.

(I'd still prefer an iPhone though but lack of work email precludes that:()
