    Default Request for low bandwidth forum for cellphones.

    Hi admins,

    Would it be possible to implement a low bandwidth version of these forums for cellphones as is the case for mybroadband forums?

    Can't you just download Opera Mini, which compresses and adapts web pages for cellphones? Doesn't use very much bandwidth.

    But nevertheless, a low bandwidth version would be nice for those who need it.

    You can also disable images, avatars and sigs from your user CP.

    I've removed all the shiney stuff but it's still very sluggish on my phone. The MyBB mobile forums are a joy to browse on my phone and I just figured that it's the same bunch of people running the show - hopefully it's not too much effort to implement.

    I'll chat to Tinman when he gets back from across the pond.

    Thanks man, appreciate it. Is this the trip that is fully paid for so that he can play with the latest new graphics cards?

    Skyfire is also a great mobile browser BTW. Doesn't appear to be bandwidth heavy at all.
