Accessing PsionWiki - hardware, OSes and browsers

Opera on a MalayBook

Earlier this afternoon I tried viewing PW on my MalayBook, using wifi at my local library. (I can't do it at home, because we keep a password set on our home network, and my MB's Cisco AiroNet card can't handle that.) I have Opera v 5.14 installed on the MB, and I had Java enabled.

I was able to surf the Web generally. I could browse PsionWiki and follow its links. But I couldn't log in, or see the number on the site stats counter.

There are probably all sorts of settings that I should tell you about before you can diagnose the problem - but I don't know which ones to specify.

Can anyone suggest anything?

Nokia 9300i

When using my 9300i to access PsionWiki (via wifi) I encounter problems like the ones described in my previous post, about using a MalayBook. I can visit the site and follow links, but not log in - takes an age to download, and freezes before completion.

Once again, I have JavaScript enabled.

It won't ever work on netBook simply because the Browser is too old. This forum (especially the login screen) seems to use complex PHP and Ajax that the netBook simply can't handle. On 9300i it might work with the newest Opera??

Bad news! I wonder if there's any wiki host that would be more Psion-friendly?

By the way, I've tried accessing the site on the 9300i via Opera Mini v 4.0.9800 and it's pretty much the same story.

Well, if projects like PsionWiki can keep interest in the Psion alive for long enough, then you never know, someone may try and port Firefox :-)
