I bet what can be done on wordpress (except some extensive plugins).. those can also be acheived on vbulletin CMS..

Yes vBMobile.com works perfect on vB3 & passes Google's mobile test. Their email is hello[@]vBMobile.com

We bought that style and I wouldn't recommend it, unfortunately.

It just covered in our case forumdisplay & showthread pages. It did not for all the rest of pages, including registering, User Control Panel and many other relevant locations. We paid aditional 250$ for further customization, and the work on the bulk template was quite poor. Due to delays on the delivery and email answers, we desisted on ask for improvements, but we expected much more for the stated price.

You can test full customized mobile templates by >> r e l i v o << at:

You can test our final mobile template, with still many pages to be developed at: http://www.bomberspelcanvi.com

Most common pages (showthread, forumdisplay, index, edit) captured here:

Yes, if you have a highly customized version with custom pages, thread bits, etc it might not be the best option for you unless you're willing to spend time or money on customizations. It's a very lightweight mobile theme that is flexible enough to build on top of. A lot of the features have been ripped out to focus on the core functionality of vBulletin. There are many free options other than vBMobile, but most don't work and are outdated.

We just went through with vbmobile on our site and finally got it implemented over the weekend. Its been a HUGE success. A lot of my members (myself included) use tapatalk and quite a few people are sick of the backwards changes and bugs, etc. Everyone who has tried it thus far loves it. Its fast, simple and streamlined. It strips away a lot of the fluff and just focuses on the forum experience. And as said above, it does allow you to build on top of it.

I would strongly recommend this if youre looking for a true mobile solution.

Thanks for posting your feedback on vbmobile. I too am a little concerned with the $500 price tag, but if it's easy to implement and does everything i want, then i'll go with it.

I looked at your site and was wondering, is there a setting to make this style apply automatically when you go to the site on a phone or tablet? I'm assuming that's part of what Google is looking for, right? Or is it smart enough to see that a mobile style is available, but not necessarily applied?

its a great review i guess. but, when testing your threads in Google's Mobile-Friendly Test using your "true mobile solution style"...it fails!
when using your desktop style, and then adding your forum index through Google test, that fails to.
Google should be able to pick up Mobile friendly just by visiting your forum. Surely Googles not going to look through your style choices are they?

also, who ever posted androidforums.com, its xenforo which is responsive by default.
and i dont want to see VB4 forum link demo's, they Pass to. i am wanting to see VB3 live sites running this $500 Mobile theme verses the free version here at vb org which passes Google's Test: http://www.managementparadise.com/forums/

and this demo http://vbmobile.com/forum/ does not have a desktop style version demo to test it, like the above link, the free version, that forum passes without having to test the Mobile theme its self.

The vBMobile skin passes all of Google's mobile tests if you have mobile detection setup to detect the mobile device and assign a default style.

Then vBMobile should set up there Demo to prove the detection from a default theme.

One of My clients got vBMobile skin expecting a 500$ product should be very good . but unfortunately the style was unprofessional and full of bugs/problems ..
