IF your phone is capable, you can try appending
?nowap onto the end of the page URL here, and that might force your phone to render the forum in HTML (the way everyone with a computer sees it).

If you're seeing the forum with a white background, then it's in WAP mode (severely restricted function for dumb phones). The Fame/Karma is a Javascript function, and it's up to the manufacturer of your phone whether they implement Javascript correctly, or at all. I can't re-write the forum code to work with every oddball phone in existence, nor will I try. I looked around once for an enhanced WAP version of the forum, and it's since disappeared and
still wouldn't have worked with many of the added functions here. There are severe limitations to WAP, which is designed to reduce the bandwidth needed by your phone and/or data plan.
Another way around it is to change the browser settings for your phone to identify itself as Internet Explorer (instead of whatever browser header string it's currently sending out). That works with Blackberries; your mileage may vary. Here's the 'fix' for Blackberries:
Browser > Menu Key > Options > Browser Configuration
Change your browser's identification from "BlackBerry" to Internet Explorer or FireFox
I have a Palm Pixie Plus phone, and the forum works fine. I can't do CHAT from it 'cos the Pixie doesn't support Shockwave/Flash, but that's OK by me.
edit: by the way, if anyone wants to see what the forum looks like with a gutted phone, try one of the URLs below
http://www.kristensboard.com/forums/index.php?wap
http://www.kristensboard.com/forums/index.php?wap2
http://www.kristensboard.com/forums/index.php?imodeYeah, I'd upgrade my phone if I saw that crap. The Internet would be
mostly unusable with WAP or IMODE.
