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).

(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).

Thank you so much for the link! That looks great. Where's the customization that wouldn't normally be there (if it's visible)? Also, has anyone tested this with the vbadvanced cmps?
Doesn't work with vbadvanced cmps. I have it on my normal style but deactivated it on mobile.
Customizations are custom icons for each forum, different colors, different colors for stickly/closed threads, and links to OT in every forum/thread.
Thank you again for the quick replies. What does vba do if you have it activated on your mobile style? Just not render correctly, or something more serious like db errors?
I noticed your facebook like box wasn't working for me on the homepage. Could be something on my end, but just wanted to let you know. Also, where did you find the "Total websites who have referred visitors today" module that you use on your forum homepage? That's really slick! I searched vb.org up and down but couldn't find it.
First - you need to provide links to these addons so I can look. Chances are it will mostly be a matter of template edits to get them working and looking right.
