yes you can view, log in and post on the site. Your speed will be relative to your signal strength, your area etc. Metro areas like Dallas, LA etc will be much faster than samller cities.

Lite mode is a lot easier to browse and read in. Then just go to the address bar and change the middle directory to forums if you want to reply to something, and then back again to go back to lite to read.

PS To the ARFCOM gods... How about adding a button to the lite version to switch over to full featured mode that doesn't dump us back at the home page? And vice versa. Those buttons at the top for lite home and full version are great, except that you're back at square one.
FWIW, I spend a lot of time at work while making deliveries reading the forums on my iPhone...

It would be possible to change the buttons to do what you're talking about but it would take some serious scripts, time and unless the admins are very well versed in the scripting language could cost some cash too. The buttons are static meaning that the result is the same each time. You program it's attribute and it stays the same. What you're talking about is a dynamic button that would read your url and change the attribute of the button each time making it dynamic. It would be ALOT easier to use "if conditions" similar this one

It would be easy to have it take you to the parent forum that the thread is in but it would be very time consuming considering how many individual Forums this site has. However it would keep you from having to reload a few pages while using a slow Edge connection.

I surf arfcom on my att tilt in lite mode. I rarely post but for reading the forums when I'm stuck somewhere it does a great job!

I disagree.  Having 100 "if" statements would be very ugly.  You'd just need to give the Lite button a dynamic url.  The script that spits out the Lite button code can just dynamically fill in the blank with the currently requested page.  So instead of having the Lite button bring you to "http://ar15.com/lite", it would bring you to something like "http://ar15.com/lite/topic.html?b=1&f=124".  This should be pretty trivial to implement.
