Hi Guys,
Anyone else interested in a low band width version of the site you could use on slow connections or mobile devices and still have the normal portal when your on you pc.
eg
-no banners
-images don't auto load
-no graphics

was thinking the same thing, when i browse Ozgolf using my mobile (WM5) it seems to download a hellava lot of data, and the way the layout appears is crap.
I am sure there is a plugin somewhere?

You could just achieve it with a stripped-down style. There are bound to be a heap out there, otherwise it shouldn't take more than a few hours to knock one up.
Although a subdomain like http://m.ozgolf.net is generally a handy thing to have, to stop having to switch styles when you go back to your PC.

This (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=151514) looks pretty good when used in conjuction with a stripped-down style. It would allow for the m.ozgolf.net subdomain to have a different style, eventhough they would both point to the same root directory.

I did some quick googling and it seemed rather simple (for someone that knows what they are doing)

The first one is what I linked above.
I couldn't see anything on the second link.
The third is from 2004.

maybe a web programmer could help out, do you know anyone?
Andyp, I learnt a new word today, its called "W3C". Thats what we need here. :-)

We need the W3C here? You realise the C stands for Consortium?
I would offer my services as a web dude, but with that comes obligation and responsibility. I wouldn't want to mess with a live site, but I doubt any admin would be willing to provide a snapshot of the current site's database and root dir to tinker with.
At least i wouldn't.

I can look at installing the mod linked above, but a couple of days turnaround is unrealistic. In fact a couple of weeks is. The demand doesn't appear to be overwhelming either, but it's at the top of the pretty much non-existent list with an upgrade to the software overall (the next subversion has been released for a while).
