The "iPhone" forum style

Grim... · **Posted:** Mon May 23, 2011 20:31

Hello!

There is a forum theme that's designed to look like an iPhone. Here it is:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7210&style=16

Thing is, it was written by a retard and fills our admin logs up with errors every time someone looks at it - and, unfortunately, some search engines (including Google) do.

Does anyone use it? Because I want to turn it off.

I don't... but I will now.

Why don't you fix the design errors?

You're hardly earning your admin's salary here.

It's not a design error - it's an error in the JavaScript that he used in the theme. He used someone else's work to make it act like an iPhone, and it's rather impressively unsuitable.

I use it, but feel free to get shot of it. I can never decide which of the mobile styles works best on the Shitey Nokia Browser^TM anyway.

If I'd known it existed in the past, I may have used it in preference to the mobile version. However, now I use forumrunner, and parse errors aside, it is more than adequate.

I don't use it.

I believe I'm on record as not liking the 'iphone' theme. By all means, kill it with fire

Another vote for 'kill it' here. I actually use the regular forum on my iPhone and the normal mobile theme for browsing on my desktop PC at work because I am Backwards Man™!

And also because I prefer using the normal one whenever I can but don't want work people seeing any of the shiny.

I use the http://www.blahblah/m version, which is not this I think. So fuck it off.

I'm not sure I've even seen that one before today. Based on a couple of seconds looking - I don't like it.

It looks okay on a phone, but the "jump to last read bit" doesn't work.

Except it does on the SNB, unless there are slow loading linked images in the thread as then it dumps you wherever it feels like it (the rest do that too mind).

Never knew it existed.
