Provider websites that use Flash not mobile-friendly!

Smart phones and tablets are becoming very common, and Apple clearly has the lions' share of both. We all know that Apple won't adopt Flash for its devices. I don't want to argue the pros and cons of that position, but the bottom line is that Apple products can't pull up a website that uses Flash. I find it surprising that some providers still have websites that depend on Flash. Yea, I know it provides nice effects, but if I'm trying to get some 411 on my iPhone, I'm out of luck! Even better, some provider sites are mobile-enabled, and shift to a easy-to-read mobile version when a phone or tablet is detected.

I know what you mean, smart phones are becoming popular. I also have an Iphone, and it sucks that I can't use Flash, I know, WTF!! But, if your gonna research a provider, use a CPU. Cruising is okay, but it can suck if the website uses flash. Do what I do, if you find a provider that is good enough, research her on the CPU.

Oh, you know theres a mobile app version of BP? Its free from the apple store. Its a wonder piece of ap, you can actually see the pics of the girls before you even click on them. Saves soo much time, I use my iphone for BP mobile, cause using the CPU would take forever!!

This is one of my big complaints, too. Many of us need to take precautions on desktop / laptop computers, too: filters, anonymizers, script blockers, etc.. A web page can be attractive, informative and viewable without all the hi-tech glitz, glitter and crap. Many of us need pages that come and go quickly (fast downloads, don't tie up the CPU).

As web site programming becomes easier, I'm hoping that more advertisers will offer options from a simple home page or welcome page: "Click for Flash Version, Click Here for HTML, Click Here for Mobile"

i totally get what you're saying. i know many people who use the internet on their phones rather than web so it would be nice to look at non-flash sites if youre on mobile web

I went to great lengths to make my website amazing and easy to navigate. Can men not take 2min to check it out on a computer rather than say "I'm not at my computer, what are your rates?" Naturally I do not talk about my rates or services via e-mail which is WHY I made the website to begin with.(I only converse via e-mail, no phone)

Most people who are on their phone,tablet,or laptop are running off 3g which is NOT a secure network. If you are looking for girls or are on these boards you could have big brother looking at what you're doing it. Go to your secure network AT HOME to lookup girls, get on these boards, or discuss things via e-mail that are of a hobby nature. Giving the excuse "I have a wife and can't use our home computer" doesn't cut it and I can't help you one bit if you don't view my website. If you don't know how to erase your viewing history etc on your computer then find out. Simple.

Now what stinks is my website is flash so thus not mac friendly.(unless you download addons and firefox) Which I have a mac so I'm sympathetic to people who say they can't get to my website on their mac computer.
