Lightweight Style for Small Screen Devices (cell phone, iphone, mobile, android)
Developer Last Online: May 2013
A lightweight *forum only style aimed at small screen devices such as Windows Smartphones, Nokias and even iPhones. It has VERY low bandwidth requirements - 15 times less on my site - 20K as opposed to 300K for forumhome.
*forum only - I have done a very small amount of rough work on CMS templates, a simple single column CMS *could* be created to work with this style without too much effort. However I am not sure if you can have a different CMS layout dependent on which style you are using? This is an update to the mobile style I have previously released. The changes are predominantly aesthetic to take advantage of larger screens. It is also much easier to change colour schemes by editing the commented CSS file. Demo: http://vbdev.org/forum.php?styleid=7 This is a a lightweight style and as such has much reduced functionality/information over the default vBulletin style. Install instructions:
1.0.0 - 25 AUG 2010 - Initial Release on vBulletin.orgBranding Free: The style is free to use. However I ask that you keep links in the footer. If you want to remove them - send me a donation of an amount you can afford, or that you think is fair/reasonable, it's up to you how much.

Not a major issue, but when you click on "new posts" or "search", the navigation disappears, so you have to then click through to a post to see it again.

Short story is, it doesn't work correctly with 4.2 as it wasn't written for 4.2, but you would have seen that it wasn't compatible when you upgraded your test site before upgrading your live site.
![]() I really don't have the time to look at this at the moment, but will happily post fixes if someone has them to put forward. No members have liked this post.

Such a Shame, This was a really nice style
I wish someone could come and update it and fix it up for vB 4.2 since Dartho cant do it now, once updated I am sure then it will give many more years of great service. even posting the fixes will be a great step towards helping everyone ![]() All the best Dartho, I hope you can update it one day soon. ![]() No members have liked this post.

What else is broken apart from what I mentioned above? All the rest seems to be working for me? I'm continuing to leave it for users on 4.2 and I know people are using it.

I'm just hoping that when vb5 rolls around, there will be a version of this for that!!! ![]() No members have liked this post.

I lock the CMS to the site style (pencil on homepage) - it's useable on modern phones.
The vbulletin mobile one seems tremendously slow on my nokia 5800 (older symbian touchscreen), so I don't force it on users. I have this one set as the default for older mobiles and leave the option for modern phones as "none". No members have liked this post.

I have this style on my CMS
its not perfect but it gets the basics done for simple browsing on phones.http://www.midwiferyonline.co.uk/forum.php?styleid=8. I don't have a 'home' link as I haven't got around to editing that in. So once clicked on the above link, add index.php after .co.uk/ No members have liked this post.

use dartho's mobile device detection plugin instead and leave that setting untouched.

Hey,
I've installed this style, but how do I make it display for users who visit my forum on their mobile. I looked in the "Style and Language" settings, but the only style that gets listed in the dropdown box is "Default Mobile Style" and not "Lightweight" ![]() Anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks No members have liked this post.

in the instructions in the first post it says this -
**Install and configure "LightWeight Style Options" I think the above does allow it to be selected as a mobile style. No members have liked this post.
