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.
Upload contents of forum folder to your forum root
Go into your AdminCP->Style Manager->Download / Upload Styles
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).
==================== Branding Free

If you wish to remove the branding/copyright notice from the footer - send me a donation of an amount you can afford, or that you think is fair/reasonable, it's up to you how much. (can't get much fairer than that) You can do this by clicking the "Support Developer" link above (a few lines below the "Mark as Installed" link).

I especially appreciate this part... already tested it and works great
When users from a mobile phone get inside the forum they just get a page saying that they dont have permission and they must refresh the page.
And no login box appears.
