I have a basic LG phone from Verizon, and I recently decided to start paying for Internet on my phone. I just used it for the first time, and discovered that I can't login to the GOF. It'll take me to the login screen, but where it says "enter your username here" and "enter your password here", there are no text boxes or anything to do so. Is there some way I can get around this? The main reason I got internet was so I could role-play when away from my computer.

Invisionfree isn't designed for phones.  Virtually nothing is.  Do yourself a favor and get a laptop with Verizon WIFI service.  It's actually getting affordable nowadays.  Oh, and Verizon will provide you with a discounted laptop if you don't already have one so long as you sign a contract.

You can try getting Opera Mini and use that to surf the internet with your phone. ;)

Not sure if your phone can run firefox mobile.  I did some slight research and just recently discovered it.  I am not sure if it'll work for you or will help fix your problem.

I know almost nothing about cell pones and smart phones so the links may be useless for you.

LG phone means nothing to me.  Remember, I have said I know almost nothing about cell phones and smart phones.

The board system we run on was designed in 2003 so I figure there may not be a way to get this to work with a smartphone.

On the issue of smartphones and the internet, I find the idea of using a phone to browse the internet ridiculous and expensive.  I don't need to be online 24/7.
