You'd think so, but it really is the "client". If you Google "Blackberry 413" there is a long history of this error happening on the Blackberry web client. It appears that a 413 error is the way that the Blackberry rendering engine responds to hitting resource limits (e.g. memory or storage space). The newer models tend to avoid it by devoting more resources to browsing. I would guess that the Javascript associated with Vector is using more memory than the Monobook version did and this is causing an error for people that used to have no trouble browsing Wikipedia before. -Robert Rohde _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
