Mobile forum skin not functioning on BlackBerry devices
16 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- A BlackBerry device running OS 5.0 would not display a working mobile version of the forum, showing the full web interface instead with a non-functional mobile selection button.
- The mobile skin relies on JavaScript to automatically switch versions after selection, which may not function properly on older BlackBerry operating systems.
- Updating a BlackBerry from OS 5.0 to OS 6 resolved the mobile site compatibility issue.
Depends on
- The problem was specific to BlackBerry OS 5.0 and may not apply to other devices or later operating system versions.
- The exact cause of the incompatibility was not definitively identified, though JavaScript functionality or user agent string recognition were suspected.
- Only one device model was tested in this thread.
