[WIP] Default Responsive Theme

[Dr.CustUmz]

Browsing the web looking at vBulletin 3 forums, I have noticed a majority of the sites use the default vBulletin theme with maybe a different logo, or just other small little tweaks to make their site unique.

so why not make the default theme responsive! A lot of people have requested responsive themes, and the options we have are either poorly themed with ...lets say ...unique designs, or completely restrict the power of vBulletin.

So I set out to make the default vB3 theme responsive. Keeping the simplicity of the original design in mind, my goal is to make something look and feel as if it was "suppose to be that way to begin with."

here are some sneak peeks of what ive got so far.

here you see the default vB3 theme, with no alterations.

But upon re-sizing the browser

you can see, some table sections are removed. Also you may notice the big menu button in the top right and the breadcrumbs along with the original navbar are gone.

opening the menu

you are greeted with GIANT finger friendly links, that may look fairly familiar with the default vb theme =)


Although im not too sure what will make it to the final release, thats why im sharing here. Im looking for feedback and suggestions. So give me some ideas =)

I like it but maybe try and improve the default skin as well as just making it more responsive. It's very outdated.

oh yay some interest lol, this never had interest so I kind of just tucked it away lol

I appreciated this, we should use responsive design on vBulletin to improve rankings on mobile search results and mobile style should be replaced by responsive theme.

I think you should release it as soon as possible to help vB users who is using their themes without responsive

One thing I would suggest is moving the Hamburger menu over to the right of the 'Welcome x' block, there's empty space and I've seen a lot of forums use a banner that would cover that whole header area anyway.

Nice work so far! Love to see people are still working with vBulletin 3

I would imagine a lot of people are interested, but have not seen this thread (first I have seen of it) - or just didnt have anything to add.

How are you going about it? I mean, what conditionals do you add to the template? I plan to do the same for vB 4.

Google's SERP cares more now about responsive themes than it cares about <H>tags</H> so I can't imagine there'd be a lack of interest.
