I really need one. Its a pain just to make a post. Gprs cost is still not cheap in India.

Browsing its ok.
But making posts is not.
Also there seems to be some script which enables you to make quick replies. This thing does not work in opera mini. It just gives you an error saying that the post is too short.

it doesn't work (for some strange reason on my N85)...moreover it needs a plugin to be copied in the forum root. have our admin done that?

What opera are you using.
10 is a big crap.
4.1/2 is pretty fast.
Infact, every single post i ever did on tdf is tru opera mini 4.1 on Nokia N79.

We do need a mobile site any all other forums. Almost everyone surfs most of the time on their cellphones.

Really need a mobile TDF. The site is huge and takes a lot of time to load.

yeah there are some issues with the site.back at the thread about "mobile under 10K with GPS", my reported post was shown as first post...although it is corrected now...

So ico, do you think you can implement something. See there are couple of options. Tapatalk (although I hate its sluggishness), which does not make any change in the existing setup (except for addition of a single line) and uploading of a folder.
Second option (more feasible) is to have a mobile theme enabled which drastically reduces the bandwidth required to open the forum on mobiles. Here a couple of threads to go through.


A Very Lightweight Style for Small Screen Devices (cell phone/iphone/mobile/android) - vBulletin.org Forum
Mobile Style for vBulletin 4.0 - vBulletin.org Forum


I have a vBulletin license. I have implemented Tapatalk on my forum. Will try mobile themes too and let you know.

You can actually optimize the forum for mobiles using a simple theme. All user needs to do is to select it as default theme and poof: TDF is now mobile.
