A new skin is now available.
Thanks to Bubba for pointing it out.

It is a lightweight skin designed for hand-held devices.

Enjoy!

Contact me with any skin related issues.

Works Great for basic forum posting!!! Thanks Lax

Notes on the use of this skin.

1 It's very stripped down, you get the speed but all you can do is basicly read and reply.

2 The way out of the skin is to click on the word "Full" in the lower left corner.

3 The way in to the mafia threads is by clicking into the games directory, then use the drop down menu at the bottom of the screen.


As I use it more with my phone I will post updates to this post.

Cool :thumbsup:
Glad it worked.

Perhaps later on we can get something a little bit fancier. :)

When you change over to this skin, most of the normal functions are gone. You should just use it for phones.



!!!!Very Important!!!! the way out of this skin is to click on the word "Full" in the lower left corner of the screen.

The problem with the normal skins when using a PDA is that all the added bonus stuff like avatars, user info, and so forth takes up a huge amount of space. So a normal thread page takes ages to scroll thru. This cut's it down to basicly poster and post.

It's pretty good for the phone actually. Very stripped down, much much quicker :thumbsup:


edit: but its a bit annoying to have to change it each time I log on between computer and phone :)

This is an extremely dumb question and I fully invite everyone to jeer and laugh at me but erm, how can I change the skin? I looked everywhere! (everywhere but the right place that is).

Very bottom of the page, on the left.

If you go down to the center, you'll see something that says "Low-Fi Version", then on the right is the current time/date, then on the left is a drop-down menu for the skin. ;)
