    PDA Style?

    We have the light and dark universe. But these have ballooned the pages to over 500kb each.

    How about a PDA style? One which is light on graphics and data?

    I found this PDA style for vBulletin V4:
    http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=228986

    Supports iPhone, Nokia phones, and most other mobile devices.

    I'd second that... often I use my Nokia E71 to have a quick look at the forums...

    I've found another great add on to go with the PDA style:
    http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=173239

    It selects the PDA style based on the browsing device. So if you use a PDA, it will automatically select the PDA style.

    Will sort it once the next two vB bug releases have been installed.

    Will give it a try out on my phone. I was expecting to see it in the list of styles from the drop down list in the bottom left hand corner ...

    Not working for me (Nokia phone). I get the same old style. Is it working for anyone else with a PDA?

    SpankMe, shouldn't the PDA style show up in the style chooser at the bottom?

    It's great, thanks Spank. Two questions.... when you touch the thread name does it automatically take you to the first unread post? And how do you rep someone?
    Chur

    PDA style working, and a million times better!

    Trudes:
    The PDA style is so much faster because it doesn't implement all of the vBulletin features, and I think rep is an add on, meaning it is even less likely to be supported.

    I wonder if it might be an idea to create an extra domain, like m.kiwibiker.co.nz, and force that to use the PDA style, so users can select which method.

    On the whole, the PDA style is so much better to use I would much prefer to go without the extra features for the huge improvement in usability. It is a lot nicer to use now.
