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you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found!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...

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.
Hey Dartho, been working great on my board, but one member using a blackberry with Opera minibrowser that "when selecting a thread that has multiple pages, if you are beyond the first page and you try to navigate to the first page. When clicking the arrow back and number the page refreshes instead."
Any idea on what's going on here or a possible fix?
This sounds cool. But I'm wondering about something.
If a moderator or administrator logs in, can he perform moderation duties? Like, edit posts, delete threads, and so on?
How about banning users?
If not then while this seems like a very cool idea, this would limit it's usefulness. My idea is this: Suppose I go on vacation? That way, I can keep logging in and perform moderation duties as if I was at home.
A variant for this that would instead work for the ACP and/or the MCP would be very cool. At least I have Opera on my Blackberry, but it's kind of slow and cumbersome.
One thing in my wishlist would be a way to override the Detect Mobile and Style Assignment mod. I like the idea of giving mobile users the default mobile style but giving them an option to switch back.
Currently your style does not work with with that mod.
The second thing would be the User CP template. Right now, I have to scroll down past the User CP menu item to get to the PM. Somehow the layout is just off.

____Alright, so I'm basically replying to myself. However, I found out the answer to some of the things that I was wondering about.
____If a moderator logs in, using this skin on his mobile phone, he will be able to delete threads. However, there doesn't seem to be a way for a moderator to undelete a previously soft-deleted thread. Not with this skin.
____Unfortunately, the functionality for editing posts doesn't seem to work right. There's no button to save the changes after making the edits. So, basically this means that moderators who log in using this skin will not be able to edit posts.
____In addition, there's no way for a moderator to ban another user while using his mobile phone. At least not with this skin, in it's current state.
____Another thing I noticed is that there could be some conflicts, or otherwise odd behavior if you install this skin, and have certain other modifications installed. For example, a shoutbox. It probably won't work too well on a mobile phone anyway, so you may need to make some changes so that a shoutbox, if you have one, won't show up on this skin.
____I realize that this skin is not yet perfect. It hasn't even reached the first version. However, it nevertheless is a very cool idea. With a little more work, it can be a lot better. But that's just my opinion.
Note: I performed this testing using a Blackberry Pearl, using the default browser that Blackberries have. I'll try to do some more testing, again with a Blackberry Pearl, but instead with Opera Mini.
