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.

Hi this seems to work great although can you confirm the purpose of the default style button

as when i click it on my iphone for example it wont change the skin but if i do it on the pc it does i have only put this on my test forum for now but do want to put it live asap

[dartho]

Assuming you have not insalled anything to override user choice, and have followed the install instructions - the default style button will switch teh style to the default style.

[rabster]

as far as i know yes everything has been followed as per instructions

it does switch it on the Pc just not on the Iphone

Currently i have the 1st 2 options set to yes everything else is still set on no

i have the code shown in here to bypass the cmps index page

when pressing the default style button the command line changes to .php?styleid=2 i know the style i want is set to number 2

all it does is reload the same page if i press the button again it add "&styleid=2" again and continues to repeat this....

Cheers

It sounds like you have installed this or something similar and it is doing what it's meant to do.
