Hi there boys & girls.

My screen is tiny. When I browse to geekzone, all the menus are on the screen and I have to keep scrolling to see content. Can anyone think of a way to change the menu layout or something to suit the small screen? Or can you view/post feeds using RSS or something? Anyone got any ideas? It's kinda a general question - is there a mobile version of the site or something? I can't figure it out

Good morning m'lord,

(tugs forelock in suitably obsequious manner)

Are you trying to view GZ on a mobile phone screen, or on an Asus eeePC?

For a mobile phone solution, you might like to try the Opera Mini browser. Google Opera Mini and you'll find it. I use version 3.1, and have successfully mooched around GZ with it. The browser reformats web pages into a single column, for ease of navigation. The Opera servers compress data, so browsing with Opera Mini is surprisingly economical and quick, even on GPRS.

If its an Asus eeePC - then I'm stuck, sorry!

(bows and withdraws)

You can start with Skweezer for example.

What about applying some Greasemonkey to it?

Hello everyone thanks for ya replies.

I am really confused about that newsgator thing. I understand receiving posts/threads via RSS but can you submit threads too?

Ok you got me. Yes, the EEE.

Holy cow this greasemonkey looks perfect!! Thanks tony!

Nope. Newsgator is a RSS feed reader.
