To get the VCBB through Avantgo, your best choice is to use set it up yourself at the Avantgo site. Log in to your account and goto the Account page and near the bottom are instructions/links to setting up just about any web page. Note that the BB gets LARGE... reserve enough space for it!

It works...but it is really hard to see everything because it is so big...i guess that is what you get when it is not formatted for the Visor (hint hint)
anyways, it works for me,

I used it and got it to work, and it was big and hard to read. Another bummer is that it didn't pick up on all the threads, some of them were blank pages.
How about coming up with a bb that is palm friendly, one where you can read and reply on the visor then have it update when you sync. Now that would be great!

i thought about this awhile back and then i started thinking more about it before requesting it. I personally hotsync twice a day ...sometimes (weekends) i hotsync once in 3 days.
If i were to respond to a discussion item on friday, it wouldn't get onto the thread until monday morning. Sometimes (most times) it'll be useless by then. Sure some threads (favourite springboard, etc) might work but others ('help', etc.) wouldn't. PDABuzz tries this with their AvantGo site and i find it more annoying than informative. That and the fact that they can only show a certain number of characters per post for memory sake.

Neat idea, but until you make it accessable to people with wireless communication ONLY or until we all own the X-80 wireless communication module, it probably won't work.
