Not sure if I can help, but what kind of phone are you using and what browser does it have?

You can definitely browse the forums with your phone, I use android with an HTC Evo. Use your wifi or 3g/4g.

just make sure you refresh when you see messages saying site down, busy etc. Works all the time for me.

I have no problem browsing the forum on my Razr. I can't imagine ICS is very different than my OS. The easiest way to find it is to Google it and go from there, you can bookmark the forum when you find it.

while commuting I browse the forums with my phone (htc g2) all the time, no issues here.
Unless, ofc, you are browsing during "rush hours", now that EM is out in steam, it might result in massive load during daytime in the US or something. Which could explain the outages.

Yes, I have 8GB of memory on my Computer system and even with that I get slow responses and web page can not be displayed at peak times on this forum so I would not be suprised!.....;):cool:

I can't see it being the ram. This is the only site that won't load on my phone. I find it hard to believe it's the only memory intensive site out there...

I know this is a memmory intensive site, because I have no problems browsing other sites on the internet either as I have sometimes with this one!...;):cool:

Could also be that the phone limits your memory for browsing sites to a certain amount so eventhough you have 516 MB only some of it is allowed to be used for browsing!
