DaveW -> question about the various portals (8/29/2008 6:58:51 AM)

Is there a portal for these forums that is tailored for use with a SMALL screen? I just got a PDA - HP ipaq and the christianity.com frames take FOREVER to load.



uncabeeil -> RE: question about the various portals (8/29/2008 12:49:43 PM)

It may not be your PDA. I use the CCM Magazine portal, and for the past few weeks it's been taking as long as 45 seconds to load a page on a T1 line. I personally think it's the banner ads that slow the site down. Too bad I can't block them.

Hey Dave! See if crosswalk.com works better.



uncabeeil -> RE: question about the various portals (8/29/2008 2:17:37 PM)

I have trouble with crosswalk.com on a 15" LCD monitor. There's way too much going on, especially those sidebars on both sides of the screen plus the banner ads across the top. CCM is much cleaner, but like I said, sometimes it's slower than molasses in January.

How does Faithcommunitynetwork.com work for you?



bluestone -> RE: question about the various portals (8/30/2008 8:32:24 AM)

the ones that works best for me are I believe and the singing news. I discovered them after someone sent links that were not relative, and I had to sign in through these portals.

I use FaithCommunityNetwork because it's the same color as the old CW and it's easier on the eyes. Plus, everything is spaced properly and it doesn't have all the busy-ness of CW. Is there a Firefox for PDA? Because then you could block the ads.



Miss Giggles -> RE: question about the various portals (8/30/2008 10:36:24 AM)

I don't have a pda but are you using IE? Try Opera Mini, that's what a lot of the cell phones use. Plus this website is slow a lot so I can just imagine it on a wireless pda or cell phone.

Can your PDA run Firefox with AdBlock Plus (free browser, free extension)?



DaveW -> RE: question about the various portals (9/2/2008 5:40:26 PM)

No it is an older version of Win CE and limited in memory (seemingly) so I do not want to load up firefox on it.

I have not tried faithcommunity network portal. I should see how that works.

If this is directed at me, if I block ads it also blocks the reply boxes and PM alerts.

I tried a few and this one seems to work best on my pda.

Thanks everyone!

I noticed the same thing a few months ago on my desktop and laptop. I had gone to crosswalk.com forever--and now go to crossdaily.com. I recall noticing a definite quicker page loading time. Not sure if that would work for you or not.
