My site deals with GPS on the PocketPC (www.gpspassion.com) so I'd like mobile users to check the forums. Right it works, but it's clunky.
Anyone know of a "lite" version of the forums? |

No.
You can make steps to reduce the amount of whitespace sent to the browser, which will help somewhat, but the standard version is about as light as it gets since it only has basic functionality.
If you drop me an email to huw@forum.snitz.com I can give you a hand removing some stuff specifically for the pocketpc.
I have visited your site a few times myself, I have a homemade GPS unit using a motorola GPS board which I connect to my LOOX. |

A GPS fan, eh!
Thanks for the offer, sounds great!
Ideally I'd like to have a different URL for the PocketPC lite version.
Something like this would be great:

Nice indeed, thanks!
Now to get a hold of that code!
Would you normally have to publish your mods? A search here and the FAQ over there hasn't turned up anything :-( |

looks good, just shows how much I monitor the awards 
If you need any help persuading them to let you use their code, let me know, I will see if I can help if you need any. |

| Thanks, I tried sending an email via the forums here, but I wonder if this feature is working as I'm not getting notified of replies to the threads I participate it? Am I doing something wrong? |

Ok, thanks for shedding some light ;-)
Anyway, "chiz" hasn't responded either here or on his site, so if someone with a brain can help, I'm ready ;-) |

My apologies... Anyway, I've already sent you a copy of the mobile edition.
Please take note that this is based on version 3.3 so you are likely to encounter errors if your main forum is version 3.4. |

Thanks! My apologies, as usual people making requests are always in too much of a hurry ;-)
After some tooling around and removing the rssmile function that was creating errors, I'm only left with errors revolving around the password (passwords of main forum are converted into 25 digit combinations, registering on the mobile version creates blank passwords and can't login as admin) #2 and #3 are ok, but #1 is a problem obviously. I think that aspect was revised for v3.4 so that makes sense. I wonder what it would take to iron that out?
Here's what it looks like if anyone's interested: http://www.gpspassion.com/pdaforums/
There's also a small one with forum colors in the posts which is probably fixable. |

| I think the problem is due to the fact that 3.4 passwords are encrypted. You'll need to modify the code so that it would treat passwords as encrypted ones. |

| Passwords are encrypted using function sha256 from inc_sha256.asp. I don't know whether it can be used or adapted to 3.3.x, though I think it may be possible to do it, but I never looked into it. |

Just saw that file in v3.4, but not sure where to go next.
Would it be as simple as adding calls to that function in the approriate spots? Would it make more sense to start from v3.4 and try to make it mobile? Following HuwR's suggestion I had first started from the "printer friendly" link and spent a couple of hours trimming it down, but it's read only at this point...Here's what it looks like if anyone wants to take a look: http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/pda.asp?TOPIC_ID=773
