Off to bad start on forum

Hi,

Came here looking for info on getting my Canon 5d Mark III to work with my new Eye-Fi card. Unfortunately, whoever administers the forum has it set up so that the words Canon and Mark are too common and 5d and III are too short to search for. Please change that. After all, the Canon 5d Mark III is specifically designed to work with an Eye-Fi card.

Wanted to get information on whether there is a workaround so I can get pics from my camera directly into my Windows Phone 7. Unfortunately, whoever administers the forum has it set up so that the words Windows and Phone are too common and 7 is too short. Please change that.

And BTW, there are 70,000 apps for Windows Phone 7. It would be cool if there were one for the Eye-Fi card.

Thanks.

I wanted to know if I should format my Eye-Fi card in my camera. I try searching on the forum. Alas, no joy, even the important word format is also "too common" to allow searching for it. Please, the bandwidth and storage overhead to index every word of every post is nothing. Can't this be fixed?

hi sberlin,

Sorry you've come up against the forum's search limitations. I also hope it's something that can be fixed, however in the meantime you can try this link and add some keywords: http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aforums.eye.fi

We offer mobile apps only for iOS and Android, so there's no way I'm aware of to send photos directly to a Windows Phone device.

Our support site has a bit of info to address your other questions (and the search function works better!)
http://support.eye.fi/cameras/canon/eos_5d_mark_iii
http://support.eye.fi/cards/problem/for ... e-fi-card/ (formatting the card is fine)

I hope this helps!

Thank you very much for your response.

Please excuse my disappointment that the admins don't flick the switch and turn on effective search support for simple and common queries as thousands of phpBB forums do.
