Hi Everyone!
This may come off as a bit of a strange request, so a bit of information up front.
I currently have (here in NJ) Windows Phone on a Nokia phone, Erin in California uses iOS/iPhone, Cat in the UK has an Android Phone.
Which sounds great. Because on the outside, it looks like we've got all devices covered. But the honest answer is, we don't.
You see, With Joyce in CA, and Cat in the UK, and me here in NJ, I often do upgrades/changes, test them on my phone, and deem them ready for general use.
Sometimes if we are doing joint development between us we will have Joyce or Cat test things on their phones, while I wait for replies.
This not only delays getting new improvements to you, but sometimes causes us to release not fully tested content.
Ideally with all the standards out there, supporting the "standards" would cause us to support all browsers, but Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, and MS Internet Explorer ALL support "different subsets" of standards. Some render things strictly, some allow for sloppy code (I'm starring at you FireFox for allowing SO MUCH sloppy code on the internet).
Now we know there are several "test how your site looks on x device" websites, and emulators, but the truth is, they are NEVER the same as the real thing, as most often those sites are built off "standards" and things change faster than they can update.
So what we are asking is this. Do you have any older spare iPhones, Android Phones, Blackberries, etc. Any kind of Smart Phone or Tablet that you may or may not be using any more. The devices MUST HAVE WIFI so that we can test via WIFI and not have to have an account with your carrier.
We aren't asking you to go out and spend any money, and even devices with cracked screens would be useful, as long as they are still usable. That is the important part. They must be functional to be of use, but we might be willing to put a little work into fixing some items if two people send us items where one has a broken screen and the other a broken keyboard or something like that.
So PLEASE BigCloset, help us not have the same kind of issues we had yesterday with the new menu, as everything rendered just fine for us, while many others had lots of issues.

iPhone for Cat?
I have 4 of the older iPhones, an original 1, a 3G, a 4 and a 4S, and I'm in Scotland.
The 4S is probably still worth something, but I'd be happy to donate any of the others if it would be of use, and obviously it would be cheaper to post to her from Scotland.
Let me know if you're interested.
Keep in mind you can also use
Keep in mind you can also use one of the older phones as an iPod Touch. Turn on airplane mode, turn on wifi, and you have an iPod. The iPhone3 even uses the same cases and chargers as the last run of iPod Touches.
I'll have to dig in a box. I have a droid 3 (which I think I should keep because it can do global, and I have the unlock code), but I think I also have a droid X that I could probably volunteer.
I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.

2.3 is still widely used by lots of devices, and while we can't promise to officially support it for everything, the droid x would be helpful in testing!
Thank You!
Cat's going to PM you when she gets a chance to set something up. Thank you for your generous offer. :)
How would I get it to you?
I have an old iPhone 4 (no "S" on that) it does have WIFI.
with love,
Hope
Once in a while I bare my soul, more often my soles bear me.
Shipping?
Would it be possible for you to drop it in a padded box and ship it to the address I've added to the original post? If we need to make other arrangements let me know, via PM :)
I can't volunteer my phone,
But I CAN volunteer to test stuff on it if you would like me to. I'm using a Motorola Atrix HD with Android 4.2, and even though I typically use Chrome nowadays I've got a couple of other browsers on here too, and they're usually free on Google Play :)

Can test stuff on my devices.
Almost impossible to send anything from where I live (will be cheaper to order new devices from Amazon).
But I have tablet with android 4.1.1, phone with android 4.1.2 and phone with android 2.3.
Have stock browser and opera on all of them. Have flash player plugin installed on the tablet.
Beta Users
For everyone that wants to help test.
We will be setting up a "Beta User" classification for testing out site features once they've tested or first round of initial testing. We'll let you know when that is ready so you can join in!

If you need any help
If you need any help with anything. I am just looking for more experience with front-end code work and graphics. I have complete Adobe CC on both of my desktops ( Windows 8 and MAC ) and Laptops ( Windows 8.1 PRO and MAC ), along with having windows 8 phone, Android 2.2, 4.1 phones and a Iphone 4 I can use for mock up use.
I have some experience working on websites and other graphic stuff. I completed a Graphic and Web Design Certification Program with Boston University last year, but have not been working in the field, as I have taken a position as a Peer-Support Support Specialist working for the VA Hospital here in Boston for the LGBT Program.
I am not able to send any equipment to you, but willing to help in other ways if I can.

I don't think
Sadly I don't think that my Nokia 1100 would be of much use.
The site runs well under on my antiquated browser
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.19) Gecko/20110420 SeaMonkey/2.0.14
I am fuddy-duddy embodied :D
For a day or two the site did not run properly and I had to access through Firefox, but now it is back to normal.
