Mobile version?

onlydarksets · 09-12-2006, 11:33 AM

I hooked up the Q a couple of weeks ago, so now I do much of my forum reading on the metro to and from work. Many sites have a mobile version, which makes it easier to read on a small screen. Is there an option like that here?

Thanks!

I check this site on my mobile phone all the time. At the bottom it says something like "adjusted for your mobile screen" so maybe it's something automatic

I can access it and post without any problems. Some sites, however, have a special theme for mobile browsers that removes the graphics and the column widths (i.e., it lets the text wrap naturally). For example, check out these sites:
Search
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/index.php?styleid=13

The Qusers site is probably too minimal - I'm not looking to filter out information, just formatting. AVS is a better example, and I believe they use vBulletin as well. It looks like they just use a theme.

You have an answer for everything, don't you? Thanks, that's a huge help! It doesn't reformat the actual posts, but finding the post I'm interested in is probably the biggest pain.

I found this skin, which appears to be free:
WAP / Pocket PC skin: Mobile Alabama - vBulletin Community Forum

I know nothing about installing skins on vBulletin - like it's something that risks breaking something else. Anyhow, just thought I'd throw it out there.

Thanks!

I can install that no problem.

Great, thanks! Can you let me know what the style ID is, so I can link to it on my phone? Thanks!
