Lightweight Style for VB3.8.7 iPhone/Mobile/Cell/PDA

A few have asked for this, hope you like it.

As the title suggests, this is a lightweight style for vBulletin 3.8.7 (and probably most versions before that - A quick test showed it also working under vBulletin 3.7.7!)

It's lightweight (low bandwidth) and works well on most handheld / mobile devices. Some have been know to use it on their desktops and I personally use it for Google as a way of significantly reducing the bandwidth they use.

====================
Install Instructions
====================

• Backup
• Download and extract ZIP file locally

• In the "Import Style XML File" section browse to "lightweight-vbulletin-3.8.7-style.xml" (extracted form the zip file)
• If you are running a version of vbulletin other than 3.8.7, select Yes in "Ignore Style Version"
• Click the "Import" button.
• Edit the header template and change the 2nd line to reflect the Style ID of your default style and location of your home page (forum.php or index.php) and text for the anchor (Default Style).

I suggest that you not complain about a free mod.

How do you force for mobiles?

Q: How would I add basic editor capabilities to the reply textarea?
I think it would be nice to have quick options for 'B/I/U/URL/IMG/QUOTE' BB Codes to be inserted into the reply field.

For some reason.. when I view the template and enable the template for others on the forum, it starts to increase server load... I'm not sure what is causing the trouble.

I have these plugins..
Cyb - Advanced Forum Statistics (I disabled for the template)
Cyb - ChatBox (I disabled for the template)
Post Thank You Hack
vB Ad Management
vBadvanced CMPS (I tried to disable but couldn't figure out how for this template)

And a few other plugins but I don't think they interfere with anything.

Could having any of the above plugins running with the template cause issues?

Why would server load increase with the template?

Any ideas?

Installed it here and no noticable change - if anything the values inside AdminCP decreased!

Have you tried disabling Hooks via the config.php file temporarily to make sure it's not a conflict with a modification?

[kingbrend]

**Fixed

[BirdOPrey5]

DIsabling Hooks in config.php will turn off all modifications. If your site has features that depends on add-ons then yet those features will break.

The default forum features will continue to work.

I did not notice any increased load with this style. If anything load should decrease as less images need to be served.

As others have said, increased server load seems a very unlikely effect of installing this style. Could it just be coincidence?
