Hi guys - I figured that I've silently leeched information off of these forums enough, so here's my little contribution back to the community.

To cut to the chase, here's the URL:

http://blog.yllus.com/itt/

How It Works

The first page is a straight list of the forums. The links have been changed to point to a local page, though.

When you click on a forum category, the script grabs the 20 topics listed on the page and displays their titles to you. Clicking on a thread loads a parsed version of the Printable Version page, reformatted for better compatibility and readability with a mobile device browser.

There's an option to make the display font bigger or smaller on the index page - this setting takes effect for the duration of your browser session.


What I'd Like Feedback On

1. Does it work for you? (If it didn't, what kind of bug appeared?)
2. What device(s) did you test it upon?
3. Would you change anything?


To-Do List

- Add the ability to reply to threads. I already roughly know how to do this, now I just need to spend the time to test and implement.
- A link to new posts in a thread on the Category page.
- Register/get use of a better domain. I'm a little tight for funds or I'd put $9 towards ittforums.mobi. Long URLs and mobile devices don't mix!


Working Devices

- Nokia 770

Very good idea.

Only the grey background on alternating rows makes text hard to read. I'd use a light yellow, like on the bottom is now.

Great job sully!

Also, as I have mentioned in comments & suggestions, I installed two more Mobile themes : Mobile II and Mobile III. Mobile III looks promising.

Just in case you can't get back to the Dark theme, you need to go to this link: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo....php?styleid=4

Very nice. One suggestion: could you add a link for New Posts like the one on the Search page?

Can you invert the posts so that new posts are shown on the top rather then the bottom. That way we dont need to scroll down everytime. Thank you for this idea.
