Yes. While the posting comes up fine the reply still requires you to go to the website. You can streamline the login process by having your PDA remember the User and Password but you still need to navigate the site which on a PDA is impossible. Better would be the ability to reply directly to and in the format that the post is received in the first place. But it doesn't work that way.
