For the smartphones. Is there an easy way to do such a thing?

Are you talking for browsing or for replying as well?

If you just want to browse, you can point your mobile device at the archive:

There is also a PDA link at the top right of the archive to enable PDA-friendly formatting. This is done with a querystring like so:

http://www.focusedgaming.com/sitemap/?pda=1

Once the PDA version is enabled, it looks like it's just saved as a cookie and stays that way thereafter.

That's a version of the forums with just plain content.

If you want the ability to reply to threads on the go, then that gets more complex and would require a mobile-designed stylesheet to be enabled and even then it's a bit tough, since the forum uses AJAX components which only really work with Opera Mobile and the iPhone from what I know.

There is a thread about a mobile version of vBulletin at the vBulletin forums, which I'll take the time to read tonight. It mentions a mobile-compatible vBulletin mod, which I can also look into.

In the meantime, if any mobile users could post their interest here and mention whether they want the ability to make full use of the forum, or if just reading is enough. If enough people would use this feature, I'd be happy to take the time to accommodate them

Thanks for the quick reply Bom. Posting would be my hope. My company has a very aggressive web filter, so I resort to smartphone browsing once in a while during the day. It's also nice to get a little taste when commuting on the train, or sitting in a random hotel room that overcharges for Internet.

I tryed replying on my samsung in the TG forums and it worked, even though a popup said that it didn't. Does -F- use the same template thing?
