Notes
If you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found! errors, see Post #329 for more information...
To modify the colour scheme of this style, you have to edit the wireless.css file by hand
If you use a portal such as vbadvanced which you wish to disable in mobile style, see here

Other useful Add-ons to use in Conjunction with this style
This is a companion add-on designed specifically for this style which allows you to customise some aspects of it without the need to edit templates. Only works with version 0.0.8 and above
Will force the user to a predefined style based on URL visited (eg. visiting mobile.yourdomain.com will force the user to use a pre-defined mobile style wilst www.yourdomain.com will display your defaultstyle to the user
Will set the maximum number of posts and threads displayed on a page based on a style. Whilst you may want to display 25 threads per page on a desktop, a small screen/mobile device would probably benefit from only showing 5 - 10 threads per page.
And we really need some way for users to switch the style back to the default at least - people are getting locked into the mobile style if they select it from the drop down menu
I have set up a subdomain of my forum, m.myforum.com, using the Different Domain plugin, and given it this style.
I have turned off the 'include domain in URLs' option in vbSEO.
The front page works fine, and all the URLs now stay on the mobile domain. However, once I click on a forum page, all the links are now pointing back to the original domain. I tracked this down to the HTML head section, which includes:
<base href="http://www.myforum.com" />
I looked in the header and headinclude template and this isn't there.... so where does this come from and how do I remove it please?
1. If I am viewing a thread with multiple attachments, this style doesn't work great as it lists each attachment in one single line (i.e. it doesn't indent them), which makes the page extremely wide and therefore you have to zoom to view it (I was using Opera mini btw). There is also no gap between the names of each attachment, which makes them even harder to read/distinguish.
2. You cannot see how big an attachment is. It is really important to know this
I have noticed that on some pages the text is larger than others, but I haven't figure out why. I'll play with it and see if I can find anything.
4. Spaces above and below SocialGroups and MemberINFO
For some reason on my phone there are newlines at the top and bottom of these templates. I don't see it when I use a PC browser. I'll also see if I can offer any advice on that as well.
