I’ve always wondered if lynx can be used to post on the boards.
Let’s find out.

Schweet. I bet I’m using the oldest browser on the boards. Well, 2.8.3 came out in 2000, and someone may have a really-old version of IE or Netscape, but this counts, durnit!
Plus it’s a little faster, what with not having to load any images and all.
Netscape 4.0, baby ! (make: 1997)
Looks really bad, though, what with it not recognizing CSS. Glad this is not my usual browser anymore.
I’ve been here with Navigator 2.2 on System 7.5, I think.
Not to mention AOL 2.7 (old school!).
Yeah, but you’re using them fancy graph-eee-cal browsers, and that makes them more advanced, goldangit!
Hrm. I probably should’ve mentioned that I used to dial into the public library and use Lynx that way. Since it was a remote address kind of thing, no prefs were allowed (no cookies, no logging in). I did manage to get into IRC chat, though.
Well, allow me to represent the other end of the spectrum – I’m posting this from my handheld Treo 600.
Peace.

I have used Lynx many times to access the SDMB on 150Mhz and less laptops. (Even a 486/33, shudder.) Works pretty well but the design layout is really poorly done so you have to scroll a lot. (Hint to web page designers: keep it simple.)
But I haven’t tried the new version yet. Good to hear it will work.
