NamePros Mobile Skin

[jdk]

Is there currently a mobile skin for NP for users when they are on their cellphones, sidekick, or blackberry? I would like to see what other forums do like DNF where it automatically detects you are on a cellphone and shows the scaled down skin or have it where you can select.

On my sidekick the forum looks alright but some info could be removed to just show the links and not the images to speed up browsing.

Thanks for the suggestion. It is easier to browse and what I am looking for but if I click on a thread it brings me to the normal thread view instead of the stripped down version.

After using the archive link you mentioned I found out it does not update in realtime like the forum does.

There has to be a more mobile-friendly skin than having to browse through the archives. Perhaps the admins can install a text-based only skin to use for mobile users?

There's probably one on vbulletin.org that can be downloaded...maybe an admin could look into it.

Yes there has to be, if not I can always make one for namepros.

for php, there's a simple mod which can do this, but you can't reply to things.

It'd be really easy to make a read-only mobile page for phones, just select the info from DB and print it unformatted etc in the browser, ie no colors, no images etc.

there is already a text only skin that has the quick reply box at the bottom. NP just doesnt have it

I noticed that a lot of the pages indexed in google have -print.html at the end of the url. which makes them turn into text only pages.

for example.

I wonder if there is a way to actually browse in text only mode (or print mode)

Edit: So under Thread Tools on the top of every thread there is the option to print the thread. Still can't find a way to browse in that fashion.

However, there is a skin posted on the official vbulletin site:

That looks like it would work.
