Is there a mobile-friendly dgrin?

Does the vBulletin software have any form of mobile-friendly presentation that would work well on a smartphone browser?

I've tried to view dgrin through the browsers on a Treo and other Windows Mobile devices and it's pretty painful because the formatting is so horrible for a narrow window. With EV-DO and UMTS networking these browsers are getting fast enough, but the normal dgrin presentation geared for a full screen computer just doesn't work on a smartphone screen.

Try http://www.dgrin.com/archive. I think that will show you everything in a more convenient format.

Any way to see subscribed threads in the minimalist format?

That's close to what I need for reading a specific forum, thanks (still missing unread state, but much better than what I had before)!

But, what I do mostly is go to my subscribed threads or new threads and I don't see how to view them yet using the archive, minimalist format. Any ideas?

I use Opera Mini on my Treo 650 and have found dgrin to be much more usable than with the default palm browser (blazer.) Opera Mini is clever in that it uses a proxy which condenses and downreses to make transfers fast.

Whoops, I thought I had replied to this but I must've been thinking of ADVrider, where the same question was asked.

How about something like this?

It would be a selectable style.

Yes, a simple skin designed for small screens

I can't seem to see all the detail on the vBulletin site without creating an account there and logging in, but from what I could read, it sounds like exactly what I want. I want a different and dramatically simpler skin when using a mobile device. Ideally, the skin wouldn't be attached to my login name, but rather a cookie on the specific device, because I want the current skin when I'm on a PC and the mobile skin on my mobile device and I don't want to have to manually switch everytime I use a different type of computer.

I know I'm probably on the mobile fringe, but is this something that could get implemented at dgrin?

Drgin works remarkably well on my iMate JAMin, WM5 /w PocketIE. I can only imagine it'll be a treat on opera.
