Lightweight Style for VB3.8.7 iPhone/Mobile/Cell/PDA

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.

====================
Install Instructions
====================

no they aren't

@brad - I have been unable to reproduce the issue you are having with duplication of login boxes. Could you check the templates to see if it's duplicated there?

Inregards to guest voting, wht type of human verification do you have for guest posts?

[Alfa1]

Do you have plans to add support for blog and / or groups?

[dartho]

No plans for blogs, groups is partially implemented and may become fully implemented later on. I'm just focusing on getting forums right at the moment

Thank you dartho for the fast reply

UPDATE: Deleting duplicate login code from the "register" and "register_rules" templates solved the problem.


Regarding duplicate login boxes...

When I search the lightweight skin templates for this piece of code...

login.php?do=login

...I can find it in 3 templates:

1) navbar
2) register
3) register_rules

My other custom skins have the code only inside the navbar template.


Regarding to guest/ unregistered user posting... we use the vB Human Verificatin Manager (random question to prevent spam).

Suggestion to add the standard "border-radius" to the CSS for IE9 and presumably future browser compatibility.

Info here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6...r-radius-in-ie
(Note you don't need to declare 4 values for IE9, just one is needed like moz and webkit.)

Updated to rev 1.0.1!
Removed navbar/login code from registration templates, also fixed other disaply issues in rego pages
Added in human verify stuff for those that allow guests to post
Fixed inconsistencies in CSS regards to forum/thread disaplay
Updated link to default style so will remain on same page - thanks BOP5
Tidied up some other stuff I notiuced along the way

I've also started work on a "Lighweight STyle (3.8.7) Toolkit/Options" similar to what I did with the old mobile style, but with improved code. Also a few extras...

Enjoy

Thanks for the update. Really stupid question here but how do you upgrade a style, must I use the 'Merge into style' option?

You rock. I'll be updating this today sometime. I'll just remove it and reinstall it since I didn't make any modifications. This time, however, I may add a "Today's Posts" to the navbar or replace the "New Posts" with it.

In the threadbit template, the line:

<div class="sticky">

is it supposed to be

<div class="sticky$thread[statusicon]">

Just curios... Or are all sticky threads supposed to have the same class?
