That makes very little sense. Be implicit when describing what you are wanting. It's not too much to ask for a usable description.
Re: [Request mod/extension] PunBB Mobile
I think he thought on an extension what makes punbb viewable also on cell phones... But I think nowadays the most of the cell phones support simple html/xhtml pages, so punbb is viewable already... now I am posting from a SE W890i f.e. ...

If that's what he means, everything I've heard so far also points to it working fine, as a rule, with mobile devices in it's default state.
Re: [Request mod/extension] PunBB Mobile
IMHO that's about a light-weight theme to be used when viewing on devices with small screen. Mentioned in here: http://punbb.informer.com/forums/post/123010/#p123010

Useful to know for future reference. Just on a slight tangent, is it specifically your forum that looks a bit iffy on that device, or Pun in virgin form, (i.e: no CSS or other tweaks/alterations), also?
Re: [Request mod/extension] PunBB Mobile
Posting from an iphone is frustrating because when you press "done" after writing a reply, the screen jumps right up to the top of the screen. You then have to scroll all the way back down to press "submit"

hahahahah!!! sure!!!! But have solutions for PunBB mobile now??!! yes or NOt?
Re: [Request mod/extension] PunBB Mobile
Right now - no.
But it's not as hard to create a light style for 1.3 containing only necessary information. It should be good enough for pda.

Yes ok but the style must change in automatic when mobile browser is detected, it's possible?

Yes, it is. It can be done via "HTTP_USER_AGENT" key of $_SERVER array.

And this should be done as an extension.

Re: [Request mod/extension] PunBB Mobile
I requested this style ~9 months ago

Sorry for my english :)
Re: [Request mod/extension] PunBB Mobile
That's what media="handheld" is for with stylesheets. Just add another style entry specifically for handhelds to the head section of the page.
Re: [Request mod/extension] PunBB Mobile
I've tested how PunBB looks at small screens. Seems like it's Ok.
What exactly do you expect from a style or extension for mobile devices?
Re: [Request mod/extension] PunBB Mobile
1) try OperaMini -- forum looks really weird on that one;
2) on "regular" browsers: left column takes up too much space -- should be either narrower, or that info should be put above message text. Some unnecessary info should probably be removed.

That's merely personal preference|opinion.
Re: [Request mod/extension] PunBB Mobile
Discussion board is about personal opinions, is it not? Or you're implying that I'm not entitled to have one?

General idea is that forum (all views of it -- index, forum, topic, etc.) should fit into 320pixel-wide screen (at most) without horizontal scrolling.
Something like this one would be great: http://skins.invisionize.com/db/index.php/f/6402

You know full well that is not what I'm implying. However, your personal layout preferences have no place in an extension request thread either. The O.P is requesting something that does not exist in pure form. You are suggesting something which you should be altering yourself to fit your needs. That is why it is called styling.
