    Mobile/PDA version

    Hi.

    I was going to post about this in the ads topic, but i thought i better split it.

    basically, browsing hexus on any mobile device is a real pita. just about the only way i can do it without it taking several minutes is by switching to text only mode, which then requires me to scroll down half the page. even my axim with a >600mhz processor using netfront 3.3 chokes on it with full graphics, animated ads etc.

    would it be possible to have a mobile version? with much smaller ads, images etc? obviously if i am the only one that wants this there would be no point. but i thought i would put this suggestion up anyway, so anyone else that thinks this would be a good idea can reply too...

    So in one post this:

    oh, its nothing personal, i have been using it (and other plugins that doubtless make me a terrible net citizen) before i even found hexus.

    just cant stand to have my bandwidth wasted by ads to be honest. and they screw up some of my other plugins as well (in quite a bad way from previous experience)
    Which tells me you block the adverts and the next you ask for me to invest in development?

    .... It is in the pipeline, we have a ton of new features which will increase the value to you the readers. However, so everyone knows, we are looking at other models for the future.

    Cheers


    David

    models?

    i have no idea what that word means in that context....

    edit: and of course, in text only mode ads are not shown, if you had a special mobile website with special small ads then they would get shown = better for you, right?

    I'm guessing DR means revenue models.
