I’m sure this is a very minorue the IT guys won’t even care about, but when browsing the boards on my windows mobile 5 phone (using the built in internet explorer) I found a bug. under the forum jump drop down box, the last letter of each forum is repeated, like this:

general questionss  
cafe societyy  
etc…

I imagine its not on any priority list but just thought I’d let someone know.

That is weird.

I wish Xash was around to explain it to us, he was especially good at that interface. Dang.

I’ve browsed the boards from a WM5 pda for years. That bug has always been there.

edit: could be a bug with the way wm5 ie renders dropdown boxes.
