lo-fi version

hay.

there's a high chance I'm going to be using a mobile Web access device (either an iPhone or a Blackberry), and I was kinda hoping for a way to turn down the detail and bandwidth cost of the forum. some forum engines (IPB for example) have a low quality version where the images are hidden, eyecandy is removed, and graphical emoticons are turned into text ones. Look at Gmail for example, it looks nice but it's easy on the bandwidth.

also poll included, regarding my math homework :mofu:

I think you can manually turn off showing images on the device.

Hmm, not being funny mate, but why would Hawk go to all the trouble of making something like that just for little old you? I very much doubt anyone else would use it too. Oh, and although 2+2 often equals five in the eyes of many politcians, in this case, the answer is over 9000.

you are missing the point.

I was actually wondering if there is a mod/skin for phpbb3 that removes the eyecandy. not going "do this, do that", just asking politely for help, which is not common in my last posts here :cool:

gonna ask around for some alternative to iPhone's Safari with text browsing mode, good thing I know an Apple fan :)
