its like a large force of win going through fusion, thus creating a chain reaction of a huge asplosion of win destroying any fail within its awesomeness.

I'm preparing to head out for two weeks to the northeast, and I just downloaded Opera Mini for my cell. Opera Mini is has more capabilities then my default browsers, including signing into the passport network, enabling me to surf Bungie in the car. And a better view of the forums. (No more "You are viewing this on a downgraded display" message) Although, like my last browser, it lacks the reply button. If anyone knows what I can do to get the reply button to work, or another browser that allows that, please post. Judging by the slowness of the forums this morning, I will probably read your suggestions on my phone. I remember someone saying it's not possible, but I would still like to be sure.

Facts are the enemy of tru7h....

Well i don't know about getting the button to work, but there may be a way around it... although it would be somewhat *awkward*...

You could make up the URL for the reply yourself...

bungie.net/Forums/createpost.aspx?postID=POSTID &act=reply

so, for example,

Your POSTID is 7487925....

my URL for this post ends with...

.....createpost.aspx?postID=7487925&act=reply

So to make up a URL to reply to a post all you have to do is find out the POSTID that you want to reply to and put in the correct value...

The POSTID of a thread is shown in the menu bar or when you hover over a thread link. The POSTID of a post within a particular thread more awkward to get....especially since you don't have the reply button...

You could probably even make up some javascript to make up the url for you when you find the post id... it shouldn't be that complicated....

Like i say it's awkward.... but it should work....

I encountered similar problems using PIE (Pocket Internet Explorer) on my PocketPC phone. Once I got Javascript installed, I could log in and do most everything, except the reply button was MIA.

It's been mentioned a few times by a few members since, and I know that Achronos et al are aware of it, but I doubt that it's high on their hit list.

Perhaps that may change as mobile browsing becomes more popular, perhaps not. I would imagine that the hits this site gets from mobile browsers is a small fraction of 1%.
Mm...Pie...

I think the only way you would accomplish it is like Stu said, by making up your own POSTID and entering it into the URL.

The problem is not that there is no reply button. It's that there's no submit button. So you can write up a big long reply and realise that you've wasted your time because there's no way to submit the form.

Which can't be bypassed by simply typing in an URL, I don't think.

Umm..why don't you have a friend post it? Or you could try to get access to an Internet terminal..

You don't need a submit button. Just use your imagination as to what will happen.

Actually it's a little known fact the you can run javascript in the address bar.. ok, well maybe not a little known fact.... but it is a fact....

With my 1337 haxxor skillz (ugh... i feel kinda dirty now) I've discovered that you can submit your post by entering -

javascript:__doPostBack('postForm$skin$submitButton'," )

which is the short version... or, which is probably better.....

javascript:WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions("postForm$skin$submitButton"," ", true, "", "", false, true))

(that's should all be on one line....but it's ok to just copy and paste)

in the address bar and hitting enter...

you can even preview your post by changing submitButton to previewButton

Don't ask me what this does on the server side....i think it should be ok... i can't see any reason why it woudn't be... but the short version may cause problems as it doesn't include all the options that the longer version does... only Archonos can tell you that...

A bit off-topic but related in a handheldy way....Has anyone tried loading bungie.net with the Nintendo DS browser (import)? I know it uses opera so I wonder if it would suffer any of the same problems.
