New Mobile skin coming soon

Posted by Rikki, 19 October 2009 · 781 views


New Mobile skin

When we developed IP.Board 3.0, we took the decision to keep the same basic Lo-Fi skin that appeared in IP.Board 2.x, but expand it to include the ability to post, which was a commonly requested feature. Since 3.0's release, we've had a lot of feedback requesting that we expand the Lo-Fi skin further, and create a truly mobile experience for IP.Board users. Now we're pleased to introduce the new Mobile skin.

The new Mobile skin provides handy trimmed-down access to almost all areas of IP.Board, including topics, posting, searching and the messenger. Non-essential information and features have been stripped out, to ensure the interface for mobile device users is uncluttered as well as quick to download and render.

The CSS used to build the Mobile skin is minimal, to help keep page sizes down, but we have added a splash a color to enable webmasters to brand their Mobile skin, if they wish. By default, the Mobile skin is traditional IP.Board blue. A GDK for the few images that appear will be released in due course.

We've designed the Mobile skin to be usable on any modern mobile device, such as iPhone and Blackberry. It should look great on any size screen, too.

We'd love to hear your feedback on the new look, and any questions you have! The skin will be available for testing on this forum in the next few days.

Oh, one more thing... it has topic markers :)

This will be great, as i like to check websites whilst I'm on my way to work, and I'll be able to check the forum, it'll pass more time!! Thank you!
I'm looking forward to this skin. Any update as to when it will be available?
Great one! Was just thinking of the possibility of access from the mobile phone. Heartwarming news!

I am wondering about same thing????

Thanks
I am also hoping for some news. :D
Still wondering :)
(bumping just a little bit)
Looking forward to this...
any news on this?
Still awaiting this :)
Hopefully this hasn't just been forgotten - with smartphone use booming, this really is an essential new development for the platform in my opinion.

I think I'll have to look and see if a similar skin has already been done in the skin development community, as I'm hoping to have upgraded my community from 2.36 to 3.05 in the next week or so.
Still awaiting...
Great one! :)
Released it allready! ;D
Can we automate it to work with, say, Blackberry too? On my server it doesn't work.
On BB's main browser, it doesn't work.

On BB's opera mini, it shows me just one dropdown with "IP.Board Mobile" displayed with the "Go" button. When I click on the Go button, I keep coming back to the same page.

What am I missing? My site is on an HTTPS (secure) server. Is this an issue?
Hi! We still use 2.3.6 version. Is it possible to use Mobile skin with this version of the forum? Thanks
