I often access LT through Opera Mini on BlackBerry (OS 7). As of Monday the site no longer works in my mobile browser. The home page shows the main navigation, with my username at the top, but no body content. My profile page and the Talk home page just show a blank screen.

Edited to add: the Zeitgeist page loads, however.

Any ETA on when (if) it'll be fixed?

We don't have a timeline for a fix yet. We are trying to duplicate.

Contrary to what is said in the other thread, I've loaded the site in OM android without issue. Although it wouldn't load on another device...

So, still tracking this one down.

Unfortunately, likely not, CH has some big projects coming up so this one's likely being looked at later on, hopefully within the next month or so. Sorry for the trouble! Thanks for your patience.

Kristi, can you see if Browser Stack has this?

>9 timspalding: it does not, but I downloaded an OM simulator instead.

LT doesn't seem to load on OM at all, even if I try going to another page within LT (such as my profile or catalog page).

ETA: I downloaded OM using this: https://dev.opera.com/articles/installing-opera-mini-on-your-computer/

@konallis #12 @conceptDawg #4
From reply in #11 & #4 I guess you have an hacked ROM, due to rooting or to any other reason..
@konallis, Try re- installing (original) software and let us see if the problem is fixed.. However, before such step, try installing a different browser and test it. I recommend Firefox because it has no CSS problems or such staff..

>13 cairoartsjp: I have tried reinstalling Opera Mini (v.7.1, incidentally). It made no difference. I think the problem is with LT.

Unfortunately, there aren't many browsers for BlackBerry. Firefox isn't available. I've tried ONE Browser and LT does load in that.

It happens with Opera Mini. it's nothing todo with OS or other software.

I tried getting onto LT on my BB Curve, Lenovo Tablet, and Proline Tablet, using Opera Mini and all fail. Tried running OM on a java Emu and it still don't load.

I don't know how to test it. It's not in BrowserStack. I installed Opera Mini on my iPhone 6, and it works fine.

I'll try Kristi's link.

Uy. That's a lot of work. Probably hours. Anyone see a JavaScript error, or something?

Closing this one. The facts of life are that it's not worth our very limited development time to work on fixes for native Blackberry devices. They are a dead-end, quickly disappearing from the world.

As for Blackberries that run Android, they should still be supported.
