Idea RYL on the mobile ??
 

Right this is a bit of a werid idea but bear with me

I was thinking that there should be a RYL mobile site (so for a site where you can access this on your phone on the interent) .. It doesn't have to be the whole website just a real basic verison with just like the ranting section etc

Because people have said before you should just write and let your fingers do the talking .. Well ive been out where ive had no access to my laptop and i wanted to vent at something and i couldn't =/ but by the time i get home ive forgotten most of it etc

(sorry if this makes no sense)

What do you guys think about it ?

You can access ryl on your phone? At least, I can on my Nokia. Unless you're talking about a more basic version so it's more easily accessible?

Good idea though, and your reasons make sense.

ZOMG
This has been said so many timessss

I'm sure at some point, Harley said there would be some sort of version to put on your mobile.

However, most mobiles can access RYL anyway.
I can anyway.

I can access it too.

Ok sorry i just thought i would ask =/ .. must just be my phone then that doesn't work properly with it

sorry

Try turning on Javascript.

I can access the whole of RYL on my phone..
Probz depends which phone you have and all that.

I can access the whole of RYL on my phone, granted it takes a while to load everything and it can get annoying whilst i'm waiting - but it is possible to do it on most phones that have the internet.

But if you can't - like other people have said, write what you want to rant and then save it in a draft message and then post it later when you have access to a laptop/computer.

I like this idea. I can access RYL on my phone but it takes forever to load. A mobile version would be great, especially for times when you might not be able to easily access a computer for a few days/weeks i.e when IP or abroad.

Has Harley not talking about this before? Something to do with him not liking making it mobile because it needs to work to the lowest common denominator and he wants it to be better than that? I don't know though.

I really don't see the problem with not being able to rant. Type it into your phone if you want to and then just delete it. What is the problem with not being able to remember it? Surely that's a good thing that it is out of your system and out of your mind.

O maybe some people don't always have access to a computer?

Or at times, like me, aren't well enough to be sat at the computer it's easier to lay in bed or on the sofa on my phone.

Surely the same could be said for facebook/twitter/bbc or any number of internet sites? I don't think it is about being addicted but it being convenient. RYL is a support site and out of the four or five sites I log into the most it is the most difficult to access on a phone by far but also probably one of the ones I use the most for help and support when I feel vulnerable or particularly unwell. I appreciate that due to the financial cost etc then making a mobile version may not be possible but I still think it would be useful if it were.

"RYL should not be a substitute for [real-life or] professional help".

Somebody said that it'd be good for RYL to be useful when you're in places where you can't get online, such as hospitals or on holiday. I'd really hope that if you were in hospital you wouldn't be trying to get online and were trying to use the support you,ve got around you.

Personally I think I'd be a bit concerned that having it fully accessible on your phone negates even more need for communicating IRL... But then, I am a bit of an RYL-skeptic anyway :P

I understand what you mean Dreaming about it not being a substitute but I think it can supplement 'professional' help and sometimes be useful in gaining perspective about that type of help as well. When I was IP I was scared and finding it very hard to accept the help the 'professionals' were giving me and did not feel comfortable talking to my 'real life' friends about my concerns for various reasons....that was the sort of situation where RYL or something similar would have been helpful.

Oops i'm currently ip and accessing ryl on my phone. Though I also have my laptop here so that may work.

Anyway I was just going to post to say I can get ryl on my phone as I'm currently on it but also to echoes andy suggestion of the low bandwidth site

ryl sucks mobile, therefore my fb status gets whined on :-D

I found it really simple to use RYL on my phone when I tried it.
Something like an RYL-lite version could be cool, but then again I'm not sure it's really necessary..

I have no problem accessing RYL from my phone either

I'm on my phone right now.

/Pointless post.

I may sound silly but I'm playing around on my iPod and I was going to try and use chat, but I found out that apple has restrictions on adobe flash. I'm wondering if another flash program will work? I'm just curious as to if anyone else has figured this out, before I bother downloading something else.
