A lightweight *forum only style aimed at small screen devices such as Windows Smartphones, Nokias and even iPhones. It has VERY low bandwidth requirements - 15 times less on my site - 20K as opposed to 300K for forumhome.
*forum only - I have done a very small amount of rough work on CMS templates, a simple single column CMS *could* be created to work with this style without too much effort. However I am not sure if you can have a different CMS layout dependent on which style you are using?
This is an update to the mobile style I have previously released.
The changes are predominantly aesthetic to take advantage of larger screens.
It is also much easier to change colour schemes by editing the commented CSS file.
This is a a lightweight style and as such has much reduced functionality/information over the default vBulletin style.
Install instructions:
Firstly, if upgrading, I recommend installing this as a new style rather than overwriting your previous install. This way you get to test it first without trashing your existing style.
BACKUP YOUR EXISTING lightweight.css.php FILE IF YOU HAVE CSS CUSTOMISATIONS
Download ZIP file
Unzip to a local/temp directory
Edit lightweight.css.php file to customise colours if required
Upload contents of the upload directory in the zip file folder to your forum root.
Install style XML via Style Manager in your ADMINCP
Enjoy checking your site from your mobile phone without the need to pinch/zoom/wait etc...
Version Control:
1.0.0 - 25 AUG 2010 - Initial Release on vBulletin.org
1.0.1 - 26 AUG 2010 - Fixed "Mark All Forums Read" link in Search results. Released Lightweight Style Options to customise this
1.0.2 - 21 MAR 2011 - Updated to 4.1.2, removed short tags from CSS, fixed some issues discovered since last release, added some stuff.
1.0.3 - 16 DEC 2011 - Updated to 1.0.3, tried to fix all known issues. Nothing new. If you have updated your site as bugs have been found, probably no need to upgrade. But if you're upgrading your site from to 4.1.9, might be worthwhile.
1.0.3a - 16 DEC 2011 - remove test ad hook code accidently left in postbit_legacy template
Branding Free:
The style is free to use. However I ask that you keep links in the footer. If you want to remove them - send me a donation of an amount you can afford, or that you think is fair/reasonable, it's up to you how much.
Darthos,
I'm having the same issue with 4.2
When I click on the users online link to see what users are doing.
it just shows Array under the Username- - Last Activity table.
But on the forumhome, it shows what users are online.

Can you fix the online users. It just shows array, changes were made to forumhome whos online.
I'm looking to hire a dev to make notifications work with this style. Would anybody be willing to split the cost of hiring a dev to do it? Getting ready to get quotes on it
dartho bro, is there anyway to make dbtech vbshout box work with your mobile style and also how can I add report button on postbit. please let me know.
Not a major issue, but when you click on "new posts" or "search", the navigation disappears, so you have to then click through to a post to see it again.
Short story is, it doesn't work correctly with 4.2 as it wasn't written for 4.2, but you would have seen that it wasn't compatible when you upgraded your test site before upgrading your live site.
I really don't have the time to look at this at the moment, but will happily post fixes if someone has them to put forward.
Such a Shame, This was a really nice style I wish someone could come and update it and fix it up for vB 4.2 since Dartho cant do it now, once updated I am sure then it will give many more years of great service. even posting the fixes will be a great step towards helping everyone
All the best Dartho, I hope you can update it one day soon.
