i can't view or post a thing using the windows phone IE browser anymore, I can see the drop down options but its not long enough for me to choose one of the options and click on it
I am therefore able to access the forum via desktop only at the moment.
To get there early is on time and showing up on time is late

Can you clear your cache on your Windows phone browser?
This morning I was doing the drop down menu and there was a period that the drop down menu was unclickable (click to see drop down and it goes off immediately, just like you mentioned). I have rectified it and should be ok now if you are loading the latest page.
If still can't guess I will have to buy a Windows phone for testing

Posting this from windows mobile browser. The old version was better for the browser. I noticed a bug in this version. When I click view posts the drop down list opens and closes automatically. I had to hold it for sometime to prevent the options from closing again.
The old version.basically was the PC version displayed on the phone as well. This version is a mobile specific version and since everything needs to fit in the narrow phone screen width, there is lot of scrolling to do. But, I think once the teething problems are fixed this version is actually better

If you go to Naranjan in Little India, you can pick up a cheap Lumia 520 for $110, it has only 512MB RAM, which is decent for windows. Or you could pick up the Lumia 820 which comes with 1GB RAM for $180, like I did
No warranty though, its an export set meant to be used in Mexico, lol.

Try it. It is easy and your phone will also get a notification like a normal sms.
I am now posting using Tapatalk too.

I always like picking up a slightly dated phone with top specs rather than a new launch low end phone. Ofcourse the best option is to buy a flagship latest launch if you don't care splurging $$$.
Those prices in the list are with carrier contracts.
