To the lower left corner of the site you can see a "RSS" box. If you click on that it gives you a choice of 3 RSS feeds.

I picked the one named "Topics & Posts", and added that as a "Favorite" on my cell phone. I just went to the favorites in the cell phone browser menu, added a new favorite, and typed in the text from the link http://caddyinfo.ipb...act=rssout&id=3 and titled it "Caddyinfo Posts" or similar.

The RSS feed has just the topic title and the first paragraph or so of a post. That makes it VERY cell phone friendly.

My cell is a Samsung Impression, and the browser on it automatically translated the RSS feed to a text screen. The links are still live, so if I click on a topic title it loads the main site and takes me to that topic.

Here is the RSS link for that stream: http://caddyinfo.ipb...act=rssout&id=3

I think the feed pulls the FIRST post of any thread that has been updated, so it is more useful for new posts than to keep up with replies. The board updates the RSS stream every 15 minutes.
