    Can we get a PDA version? No tables, just straight html. As it stands, trying to type a reply using a mobile phone like the Sidekick sucks (horribly) as the form you enter the words in extends offscreen and there's a good chunk of white space on the left side that's doing nothing. Remove the tables and just give us a straight html version for those of us who use mobile phones and pdas to post on the site. (Oh, and it's impossible to click on the emoticon)

    This is turning into a whole new development effort; members are increasingly referring to reading and posting content on machines other-than-PC's: phones,PSP's, PDA's.

    the56K skin (viewed on my laptop) reminds me of the 'good-old' (plain, old) days of the Sword Dojo on uBB; a username, and his/her content...period. Nice.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    I say its a nice addition, And would be very helpfull to dial up users.
    Its admirable that the effort has been made to provide a new skin for dial up users at all.
    i beleve its ok to debat the colour scheem and other little bits n pieces.
    But isnt it a bit premature to start asking for more skins designed for pda's and stuff when theres still work to be done on this?

    Prehaps I am incorrect in assuming that The disscussion about pda style skins would be best suited to a nother topic.
    I beleve that the only things that should really be posted in here is praize for the Ongoing Efforts to improve this already great forum,
    And prehaps a few minor probs some may have with the skin.

    I hope that sounds like it did to me :)

    You'd get loads of answers for this. While there's still time, I'm asking for better expressions from you..

    Edit: So no possibility of actualization of my request, TosaInu ?

    Ever since fall 2002, there are boards where I test things before activating them here (sort at least the grunt of the problems, enough still turns out erratic).

    There's a testboard now, hidden from the public (license). That board has a PDA skin loaded. It's lite and beta. My main concern with it at this very moment is that it also removes the userCP and skinselector. So, anyone who accidentely activates that skin, may have a hard time to go back.

    LeftEyeNine: the Dial Up skin will get the option to display avatars/sigs as soon as there's a liteskin without graphics. There is quite some work to do on that and I think I'll just grab some existing style and strip that. I feel such a skin should not just be lite, but also work for different PC's (a colorscheme can become hard to use on some vidcards/monitors using 256 colors). Maybe it should also have some larger font and maximum contrast. Light text on a dark background is pretty easy to read. So, something like the Black skin could work out well.

    The PDA skin:
    (Mainly) depends how easy it will be to add a link to return to the userCP/skinselector.

    Edit: PDA style could be quickly fixed, enter userCP/edit options and update style there when you get stuck in it. PDA style added.
