I've been posting on the national guard forums from my blackberry for months and all of a sudden I am only redirected to their new "mobile" page. All my bookmarks redirect me to the same freaking page 1-800-GO-GUARD.com (http://www.1800goguard.com/mobile/) when I am trying to go here 1-800-GO-GUARD.com (http://www.1800goguard.com/forums/index.php)

This is really frustrating me.... any advice???

I tried my opera mini and it's the same thing.

Oh, and I did do a hard battery pull.... no change.

Try changing your emulation mode to IE and see if that works.

Okay, I tried both Microsoft and MS Pocket IE and no change.

Did you clear the history after you changed the emulation mode.

I'd also send a request to the web admin to include a link to a 'classic' or 'full' mode of the site in the footer of the mobile page.

Okay, just tried that... Nothing, same stupid page. It was weird because I was actually on the forum posting 5 days ago when it suddenly switched over. No setting changes, nothing. The first time it happened, it just resolved on its own a day later. This time.... Who knows... It hates me!

For me, CNN.com does the same thing, and they have no link to the normal US site. In order to view CNN from any of my phones I have to use their international sites.

Is it possible that this problem has nothing to do with my bb settings and everything to do the site I'm visiting?

I tried to update the OS but it's a military issued phone and I couldn't do it.

Can someone click on the 2 links in my original post and tell me what you see from your blackberry? Is it redirecting you too?

Wirelessly posted (8800)

I'm running 4.5.0.81.



If I visit the target link with emulation set to Blackberry, I get redirected to the wap version (no forum).



If I set emulation to Microsoft IE, I get to the forum page just fine.

I cleared my cache between each emulation option change, too.
