The site works, but I can't log in to my account. I can enter my username and password, but it doesn't log me in. I don't get any error messages.
Since I'm not logged in, I'd have to enter the captcha text to post a comment. For some reason, the captcha image doesn't show (I just get a red X).
(I'm using a Sanyo flip phone (MM 7500, I think). I spend way more time surfing the Web on that phone than I ever expected to. Images usually show up normally.)

I have a Blackberry 8130. It is much better than the .com version and is quite useable. My only suggestion, if it is possible for the mobile version, would be to reduce the font size on for the posts themselves. The bolded large fonts overwhelm the rest of the text. Thanks for doing this.
Cookies are automatically enabled on my phone. For example, I stay logged in to my Fandango account for a month or two before the cookie resets and I have to log in again (I use Fandango from my phone quite often). Same with Bloglines.
I just tried the mobile URL in Internet Explorer, and I was able to log in.
I'm not aware of any differences in mobile cookies vs. standard browser cookies, since they're just text files, but there might be some subtle difference that's preventing the cookie from being written on my phone.
Works pretty good from my blackberry.
Awesome. Thanks!

Russ, thanks for the test.
I think maybe you have to allow cookies for login to work? Works OK thru a browser, but I'm not sure how good a test that is.
Will look into the captcha problem...

OK, that should be changed Bill. Thanks.
(Still looking in to the login and captcha issues.)
Hey, Russ:
Captcha image seems to work OK in a browser when logged out. The image link is something like:
"http://knoxviews.mobi/image_captcha/1080670331"
Is that the type of URL you see?
Also, do you see any other images?

Dunno.

Yes, the captcha URL looks like the one you listed above. It's just not displaying. Avatars are displaying correctly.

Tested and loads in appx. 7 seconds, 85kb, 2nd page load with login took 10 seconds, 97kb. Looks good in Blazer. Will test in Opera Mini as well.
And many thanks from those of us who rely heavily on mobile browsing (although I am finishing this post from IE7).
Looks ok here.
Posting from my iPhone ver. 1.1.6 or whatever the most recent build is.

Seems to work fine on the Motorola Q.
Now I can blame Knoxviews when I get caught by a Redflex cam running a light.
