in the romance section I'm getting the confirmation code saying something like "llssack" but whenever I type it in it says it's the wrong verification code. It doesn't reset either, and it's like I'm banned from the romance board because I cannot post. How can I reset it, or what is the correct code?

[Handheld] The mobile reader support and requests thread (35)

1 Name: Squeeks : 2007-10-20 20:56 ID:IxY8cNNA

On a brief initial trial, currently food and japanese boards have a "mobile" version, which is pretty much stripped down and designed for people with phones, PDA's and other handheld devices that can browse mobile XHTML content. Right now I've done what I can without more rigourous testing since I haven't the means to test this on my own phone.

So please post any problems or requests you have. Screenshots are very helpful even if you haven't got a problem, so I can see how it looks like over a variety of devices.

Things I already know about at this point:

  • You can't reply to threads, or make new ones. It's pretty much "read only".

  • Post numbers have embedded javascript, as well as the "delete" button, both of which don't work.

  • Text maybe somewhat too large, and there is no CSS/looks boring.

Post too long. Click to view the whole post or the thread page.

Hey that client ID header is a really smart idea. I personally won't go out of my way to look for it, but someone else has to be.

from http://www.howardforums.com/archive/topic/489332-1.html:

> Sprint PCS handsets send an encrypted session ID called "ClientID" in the HTTP header information. Using that data you can validate the phone against Sprint's servers and determine (with some level of security) the identity of the subscriber visiting your WAP site. To use that data you need a partnership with Sprint to decrypt the information for you. Are you willing to pay for authentication?

31 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2008-03-01 08:03 ID:JnQf35WL

When looking for old threads using google, I tend to get more results linking to mobile.pl than kareha.pl for some reason. (Kinda like how you to get more results from printable versions of posts made on IPB forums - maybe Google favors them because there a larger concentration of actual content on them).

I think it's an important issue that people may stumble upon threads via the mobile versions without having any hint that they can actually participate with an interface more suited to computers.

32 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2008-03-20 15:50 ID:C59aKRa0

I use Opera Mini.

Mobile version of 4-ch works much faster on my Alcatel OT-C825 than general one.
It's sad that there is no posting, because in general version Opera Mini has no problems with posting field, but it's too slow in browsing.
Maybe default reply field of PC version could work with mobile?

Opera Mini: fullscreen, landscape mode. Font size: small.

Well, i can post if i change mobile.pl to kareha.pl in address manually. Not the best way, but still acceptable.

34 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2008-07-26 21:16 ID:tMnBdVa7

When you click a link like >>1 it opens in kareha mode (with reply bar).
But when you click a number at the left of poster's name page just reloads. Maybe it would be more useful if it acted in the way link does?

35 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2008-08-14 06:37 ID:47kY9fCJ

I have a shitty two year old razr v3i, and 4-ch mobile works swimmingly on it. I browsed most of the boards (didn't think to check the AA Bar) and the only issue I had was when accidentally clicking on the number to the left of the poster's name I recieved a 400 error. It'd be tits if we could post, too, but even having the ability to just read has killed many the boring hours of work.

Sounds like a good idea at first, but will it work? Nobody would think their own ideas are particularly crazy and alternative after all.

(Assuming the idea is to clean up /science/. There might be perfectly valid reasons for a paranormal board of course.)

Write me a list of things broken and wrong with the site. (69)

1 Name: Squeeks 2006-02-09 17:49 ID:RQUdcHCi

It seems everytime I bring up a big problem, 4-ch'ers think it's a good time to go ahead and blurt out all the little problems, so on Monday I get some time off work. So that means, I'll have some time to fix minor things, etc. So, list for me, in as much detail necessary all the things that are broken, missing, not working, changes etc and I'll try to get them all done on Monday. I might also look at taking down the site for a while, upgrading all the boards to the latest copy of Kareha etc.

And please, don't shit this thread up, I will be liberal in deleting posts that are blatantly offtopic or stupid.

[Suggestion] Otaku Board (7)

1 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2008-04-12 14:05 ID:5CQ9D/b9

Okay, here's the reasoning: I know that a lot of users over here consider themselves otaku or hikkikomori. I'm not here to discuss if this is justified or not, it has been done many times already on almost every thread on the subject.

No, here's my point: take a look at the "hobbies" board. Take a look at the "personnal issues" board. The first one is cluttered by "weeaboo" threads that are often quite redundant, and the second with "halp I'm hikki" threads, that are also quite redundant. Well, why not, after all, it's the way the community is composed right now I guess.

But there is a problem; I really think this community isn't FULL of otaku and hikkikomori. Well, I am not one. And a lot of people can get sick of trying to access a board, only to see the frontpage full of threads about otaku. So it can either discourage people of contributing, and could also drive some nice and interesting people out instead of drawing them in, because they will think "oh, that's an otaku-filled BBS" instead of "oh, that's an anonymous BBS". When I see a thread starting with "hello fellow otaku" in the "hobbies" section, it makes me cringe; this makes the assumption that everyone browsing the page is an otaku.

Seriously, it doesn't have to be like this. What I'm proposing is not intended to be a form of ghettoisation, but rather a commonplace for people to discuss this lifestyle (I suppose it would go under that category), be it an issue to them or not, to give the other boards a little room to breathe. I also know the flux of posters will also decrease, and maybe the boards will move a little slower in the other sections as well, but I believe this would be short-term. So in short:

Post too long. Click to view the whole post or the thread page.

2 Name: Squeeks : 2008-04-12 23:06 ID:9W4J6i/p

I really don't know.

I'm inclined to see what other peopled think of this idea, since I'm far from the majority of self proclaimed "otaku".

3 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2008-04-13 01:40 ID:IG1uN0+v

I don't think it would work. You'll end up having to be picky and choosy about everything.

A lot of the people in the self proclaimed "hikkikomori" threads aren't necessarily otaku, just like all hikkikomori aren't otaku in Japan. Also, it's important and sensible for "otaku" with personal issues to discuss them with more than just otaku.

Looking at /hobbies/, I would say maybe half the threads are "otaku" related, and they're clearly obvious. I dunno, maybe it would make sense to split it if there were a whole lot of people posting with both otaku, and non-otaku stuff, but right now it wouldn't.

Well looking at /hobbies/ right now we can see for the first ten threads:

1: trip to london or japan (14) -- japan in the title
2: [Looking for Group] With our powers combined... Otakings! [Garage Sales] (35) -- self-explanatory
3: Weeaboo... they just want to be Japanese, or any Asian is okay? (44) -- self-explanatory
4: Smoking (11) -- non-otaku
5: Hair Styles (25) -- quest for the jrocker hairstyle
6: Is anyone good with designing paper crafts, paper goods etc? (6) -- non-otaku, at least not directly
7: Please help! I don't want to be an otaku anymore! (91) -- self-explanatory
8: [Anime] Mobile Suit Models!!! [Otaku] (36) -- self-explanatory
9: OCD (12) -- self-explanatory
10: evolving otaku (14) -- self-explanatory

Now, I must say I agree with you on the fact that people having "hikkikomori" issues aren't necessarily otaku (note, I'm using the western meaning of the term here), but sincerely - the simple fact that they use "hikkikomory" and not "social reject", "recluse", or whatever... that gives a lot. But I agree, these people need input from other kind of people than your average otaku/channer. So why not, maybe we can keep them in /personal/.

People who think Otaku = ANIME MANIAC are not real otaku.

That case is clear I guess.
We already have a wota board.

Yeah, but most people think otaku = extreme weeaboo.
And I know that this board is based of a japanese BBS, and I do enjoy a lot of japanese things, but it pisses me off that everything over here revolves around japan, y'know?
