+Run&Hike Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Several of us have Motorola Q phones with Windows 5 Mobile. Prior to the Database Upgrade, we could get on the Geocaching.com homepage. Since the upgrade, download begins OK, but at 200K+ the screen suddenly blanks. IF I hit "Stop Downloading" at around 200K, I can use the features that have already downloaded. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas? I can use the "lite" wap version, but I like some of the links on the regular homepage. Run&Hike Link to comment
AZcachemeister Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 On my TREO (smartphone) NONE of the GC.com pages load as smoothly as they did before the 'upgrade'. ALL pages viewed result in a 'TOO LARGE TO DISPLAY' warning, and the page stops loading. If I 'RELOAD' the page I can usually view the things I want to see. Why does a page need to be over 200KB?

Thanks for responding. I've been told the problem was with our Motorola Q phones, not the web page, but you're confirming what I thought, that the web page is violating some limit in Windows 5 Mobile's Internet Explorer. Hopefully, somebody can offer a "fix". Link to comment
AZcachemeister Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Actually, my TREO is a Palm device, and it uses the 'Blazer' web browser. None-the-less, the recent changes have definitely bloated the page size. I can't confirm, but I believe it may be because of the embedded YAHOO MAPS... Link to comment
