If you're trying to wrap the mobile CB site, forget it... it's already wrapped, and you can't wrap it any further. That's something the site developers will have to work on, to make the font size bigger for us oldies to be able to read easier
At the end of the day, we have a very small screen that isn't really suited for mobile browsing
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com12-08-10 10:58 AM - I'm just referring to the forums pages here. Oddly, if I clear cache and cookies and log into the CB forums, I get the non-mobile site. Once I log in, I get the mobile site. The posts here don't wrap to stay within the screen margins, and it doesn't display to the large font that I have chosen in Browser Options. In contrast, on those other sites, when I finally get auto-wrap to work, it re-flows the text so that the lines break at the screen edges and are displayed in 12 pt type, which is what I have selected. This is what I understand "auto-wrap" to mean: The text is rearranged to fit on the screen at the desired size. When it works, it's great. On these forum pages, it just doesn't happen; it's as if the line breaks are hard-coded.If you're trying to wrap the mobile CB site, forget it... it's already wrapped, and you can't wrap it any further.

Your analogy of auto-wrap is correct, but I always use the mobile CB forums and the text in all posts is always wrapped to fit within the screen confines.
I tried adjusting the font size setting in the browser, but that never seemed to make any difference for me... no matter which site I was viewing, so I just left it at the default setting.
The only time the wrap doesn't work so well in these forums, is when some fool posts a huge picture and the whole thread shrinks to almost invisible. Other than that, everything is wrapped to within the screen margins, but again the text size is VERY small and only just legible for me.

I dont have a 9780 YET (telco went out of stock) but I've downloaded the simulator and I tried out the mobile cb site. It is like what Ubizmo has described it. Here is a screenshot to give you a clearer picture.
That is the already wrapped text. No magnifying glass to zoom in. the only thing to make is bigger is to zoom in and scroll from left to right to read.
12-09-10 05:25 AM - Phil, the issue isn't that the tiny text doesn't wrap at all, it's that we don't want to read tiny text. When we try to zoom in to make the text a more readable size, the browser doesn't rewrap the text so we don't have to scroll left and rightI'm not sure what's going on there Ubizmo

Given that I read this site each morning, I would not like to be in that situation, hence will stay with the 9700 until there is column view or equiv in OS6.pardon me for barging into the conversation between ubizmo and phil_uk.

B B12-10-10 03:53 PM - Ok after playing around with my phone for a bit, I realize that there are quite a number of sites that won't render properly on the bb. Here is a list of my findings.
Julia assange link that ubizmo posted above - mobile site wraps but tiny texts. The full version also wraps but tiny texts too.
Forum.lowyat.com - mobile version has micro texts
Techcrunch.com - the whole layout is reaaranged by webskit but still tiny texts
Gizmodo.com - tiny texts
Endgadget.com - tiny texts
The only sites that I find that will wrap properly and have the right font size are sites like wikipedia.org and also imdb mobile.
Its really making me upset now. I wan a new firmware release fast12-11-10 08:45 PM
