in the default pack. Not sure what would look best on a blackberry etc but I often have users asking for a theme thats easier to use on their mobile devices.

What parts of the site are people having trouble with (and what version of the software are you using)? I've heard that 1.2 looks just fine in a mobile browser.

Im not sure, I'll ask for specific problems. Im using punbb currently, I want to change over but Im afraid of screwing something up since I have a lot of modifications, I have busy forum and cant afford to have my board down. I assume 1.2.17 pun looks about the same as the current flux right?

Well, except that 1.2.17 has security vulnerabilities

Do yourself a favor and upgrade

I agree. I'm using an Android-based phone, which uses a WebKit-based browser. Seeing as how you can't get much more accurate than a WebKit-based browser on a mobile phone, I suppose that the main problem with FluxBB would be in how it scales for lower resolutions. (My phone uses a 320x480 resolution.) The left side of FluxBB sites looks fine, but the styling gets messed up on the right side, with the text extending out past the background colors of the respective forum blocks. Also, forum posts tend to wrap to around one or two words per line, making it a serious chore to read forum posts.

Yep unless you hold it horizontal you are jacked. I tried the opera browser on my droid eris and it squashed everything on the right, when I checked "mobile" in the options it pushed everything left under the avatar (at least you could read it).

I have a pretty big forum, 3,268,937 posts in the last two years and Ive had it up for almost 4 years. Anyway lots of people are using phones, droid, iphone, blackberry, hero, nexus1 etc and they all request a mobile version that autoswitches when you login like other forums and google, and youtube and everything else. IMO you guys should make it a priority to get something worked out. Id be willing to give you the feedback Ive received so far if it would help.

Ive made one they can switch in their profile, 480px wide so it works great on iphone or droid in the landscape position (horizontal) but its still way to wide for upright or 320 pixels for the iphone and droid eris (hero). What Id like to do is change the forum widths in thread view so where the user name, avatar, online indicator, ip etc are located I need to reduce the width so that the text area has more space, where can I do this? what file am I looking for? I did it once with views but I forgot where it was.

thanks

i got this snip of code this might help you with mobile phones browsers.

Browser Redirection

The script is more useful when you modify it to redirect users to a page optimized for their particular browsers. While you'll have to spend time optimizing your individual pages, the script itself is very easy:

<script language="JavaScript" 
type="text/JavaScript">
if(navigator.appName == "WebTV")
{
 window.location = "WebTVHome.html"
}
 if(navigator.appName == "Netscape")
{
 window.location = "NetscapeHome.html"
}
 if(navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
{
 window.location = "ExplorerHome.html"
}
 window.location == "Other.html"
</script>

A few weeks ago I got myself a HTC Desire. FluxBB renders basically perfectly in its default browser, but I am interested in the idea of a more "app like" skin. The best solution looks like it may be using jQTouch, a jQuery plugin.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Unfortunately it looks like it requires editing the markup quite a bit.
