Would you like to see a Mobile-themed skin implemented? Keep in mind no new skins have been added for over a year...

So the preference would be by cookies instead of saved preferences?

Sounds like an idea.

The member skin preference will still be saved in the database, but the cookie will invoke an override on the saved preference and let the auto-detection algorithm take over even though you are logged in. Working on that as we speak...

One suggestion, not sure whether it is valid since it is so easy to switch themes, but some sites that offer a "mobile" version use a different URL.

For instance m.idforums.net.

Maybe that might also be a good idea to implement?

That's more difficult to implement in this forum software. The "skin" isn't actually a separate page. The "webpage" that's being served is identical in all the skins, the skin is the internal style variables being changed, it's not "physical" so to speak.

Ah, I see, it would have been cool if it were implemented, but from the sounds of your earlier posts, the method you are using is just as good... Btw, why the sudden urge to have a "mobile" theme and is it possible to have emoticons and signatures disabled for it? It seems they are but the checkboxes seem to remain checked off...

Signature is only enabled in the objective sense. In the mobile skin, you can not see the signature either way. If you enable it, people can see your signature when they are not using the mobile skin. Same thing for emoticons. Unchecking the boxes doesn't mean you don't see them. I believe emoticons are essential even in mobile skin.

And why the new mobile skin? Because I just got an iPhone 4, mangz!

Cookies saved the day. The mobile skin will now override your saved skin preference when you are logged in on your phone. Should you ever need to use the Full Version on your phone, simply click on the Full Version link at the very bottom. That's when the cookie will invoke the user agent bypass script, thus, treating your phone as a normal browser and your saved preference is then displayed. Now to get some sleep..

Please extend support to the Blackberrys? wub.gif

I mean, switching skins manually is ok, but having it done for you is even cooler.

PSP, too.

Please copy your user agent string you see here (on your blackberry)
http://whatsmyuseragent.com/

Copy and paste it and PM me. Same for your PSP. That's the only way I can extend support to a broader range. Right now, the detection scripts only cover like half of all the smartphones out there.. But it just so happen most people on these forums are covered in this half. biggrin.gif
