Once in a while (like now) I browse these forums on my blackberry. While it does have a real browser, the forums don't work all that well because of the screen size.
I'm not sure what forum software forums.vwvortex.com are using but when I browse it on my blackberry I get a very plain text version.
Its really nice and legible on the smaller screens.
I can take some 'screenshots' sometime if need be.
I was wondering if a text only version of these forums would be possible?

I sometimes browse this forum on my PSP too. A mobile version would be good.

They’re using ZeroForum, apparently (according to the footer on the site). Shouldn’t be too hard to add that to these forums as well, though: it’s just* an additional style sheet that needs to be added.
* Okay, maybe “just” is not a good word to use here, recalling a certain designer’s many outcries bemoaning the complexity and horribleness of vBulletin templates and style sheets... but should still be at least theoretically possible. Of course, who knows? It could already be a part of the new design—we’ll find out when (sorry, bad grammar: in MacNN Forum Redesign temporal clauses, the correct conjunction is of course ‘if’, not ‘when’ ) it’s implemented...

GTPlanet.net has a mobile version, and it runs on vB. Do you want me to ask the owner over there on how to implement a mobile skin?
