Is there a mobile optimized/stripped down version of this site available for viewing on a mobile device? If so how do I access/toggle the mobile version?
Thanks

Thanks.
I wish there was a way to sort the archive by last updated date instead of post number.
mikechannon, that's great! but all the email notifications are coming with full version of the forum. So it is not possible to track the forum via PDA in "one click".
Is it really too hard to add lite style of the board?

I didn't know this was there. Great! Thanks.
This is a great resource. I think many others would use it if they knew it existed -- especially with the increasing number of members with unlimited data access. There should be a link at the top and/or bottom of all pages to the "Mobile Version" of this site.
The sort order seems very weird. Some of the first threads listed haven't been touched since mid-2007... and there's no way to find the most recent/active threads except to open each thread and check the last (bottom-most) post date. None of the listed threads correspond to the forum thread list order of the standard site.
Also, is there a way to activate hyperlinks within the posts?
vBulletin has a mobile skin in beta according to http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=174375. Might this be useful?
Cheers,

A "view mobile version" link at the top of the normal page would be a BIG help.
The admin is working on a new Skin that "will last for a long time to come", hopefully this will include better support for Mobile browsers.
Personally, I use Opera Mini and have no problems browsing this site, except the 1st Login, which requires a Manual Page refresh.

anything ever come of the mobile skin? archive is better than nothing, but leaves a lot to be desired.

There is no mobile version of this site?
This is a great forum, too bad there ain't a wap version of this is site. My phone can't load this site...too big.
To the admins of this site, have you ever thought about adding a WAP/PDA style for this site? I've used them in the past, and while it doesn't give you full functionality, it at least gives you the options of browsing the site and posting from a PDA.
These are the two that I've used:
- http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=151186&highlight=mobile
- http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=92071&highlight=mobile

The link for XDA's PDA forum isn't quite right - it's http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/ (there's a tiny link on the www.xda-developers.com page to it). That's the one I've always used on my phone.
The thing with archives is that you can't post from them without opening up the full version.
I tried to surf this website on my browser on the mytouch 3g and realized that it is a pain the the @$$ to surf. I was wondering if there can be a mobile site.
- You can easily log into your account to access User CP and check your messages.
-Search for Threads and/or Add New Threads feature
-You can pick between Mobile or Desktop View
Also there are some other things that I feel could be better.
-When someone quotes you, you can get an email notification telling you. This way people don't have to subscribe to every thread they put a post to see if people respond to your post.
-A Google Chrome Plug-In like you can see your Account Status easier or search for forums from the URL Bar.
If anyone else has any issues that they want to be fixed please post them I'm pretty sure a Mod or Admin is going to see this thread.
I'm not sure if this has been proposed before but if it has please direct me to the thread and/or lock this thread. I really don't want to be banned or suspended. I searched but could find anything.
This probably would have been best to post in the sticky called (requests) From the Users to the Mods & Admins. However, I at least have an answer one of your questions, the mobile site one. Somebody on the boards (ktemkin) made a mobile site for XDA-Developers, which is can be accessed by going to http://xda-developers.mobi. It's not the prettiest site and it doesn't have full functionality, but it gets the job done better than any other solution out there at the moment. Hope that helps
Did not know about this. Like u said it's not pretty, but it's the best we have right now.
But vBulletin comes with built-in pda display -- no one ever sees this because it's obscure in the top-left menu on the homepage:
PDA layout

meh, that's just the standard Vbulletin Archive View, branded as a PDA layout. It's better than the standard view when on a mobile browser, but xda-developers.mobi renders things much better IMO. View the forum with your Hero's browser using each one, and I'm pretty sure you'll prefer xda-developers.mobi over the archive view. As I said, neither are perfect solutions, and a dedicated client (like the now halted XDApp) would be best, but both can get the job done to a degree.

The forums are dynamic. They adjust to the size of device you are using. Just browse to the regular URL and it will adjust accordingly.

I swear last week I click view full site and it went from a mobile view to this.
Oh well, it is what it is
Que Sera, Sera
Thanks
I don't get it.
If I use the Android XDA app, the Marketplace is visible in General. Using a real browser however, it's not. A quick search for a link into the Marketplace rears a permissions error. And all of this without being registered. So what gives? Something I'm missing here?

Oh, so it's now visible. After glancing through the rules/disclaimer it appears it'll become accessible after 8 posts for a noobjuice member. Clever.

You need more posts and/or a longer membership (I can't recall the details).
Guess the Tapatalk app needs fixing .

It's not the app...we've changed the permission on the Marketplace to not allow access to a user until he/she has made 8 posts. That 8 post level is also the same point at which you can post links. It's just an anti-spam measure. We found people were registering at XDA just to spam the site or the Marketplace. This helps.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
This is good to know. Long time lurker and finally signed up so I could post in the marketplace but alas!
Can someone link to the rules for gaining access to the Marketplace? I have 8 posts but still cannot see it. Tried logging out and back in but still nothing
For a while there I thought I needed to check my eye sight. Makes sense now.
Hard to achieve 8 post if you have nothing to say or to discuss or if everything is so well explained that you do not need answers
Maybe you could add a waiting time also. Lets say after 4 weeks you get to see the market, I highly doubt anyone would wait 4 weeks just to spam something.
It doesn't make sense that you can view the Marketplace before you sign up (and then have it dissapear after you are a member).
oh!! so thats why i couldnt c the marketplace
I am new here. it seem that this is an useful forum.
welcome to forums
Once you become an active/regula user all XDA features will be unlocked and you will be able to post in marketplace, this rule is to protect us from spammers/scammers
Ah I was wondering why I wasn't able to see that deal I saw anymore... guess I'm off to ask more questions.
I have been on the site reading for 6 months now trying not to poste but now i need to use the market so here is my 8th poste thanks.

As I said before:
Once you become regular/active members will see the benefit of having this

On the xda android app there's a "participated" unread posts tab so that I can see all of the new posts in threads I've posted in but I can't find that here on the desktop version, just the "new posts" thing at the top which shows ALL new posts, even ones I haven't posted in. Am I missing this somewhere? (btw on 2010 theme, I really don't like the 2013)

In the XDA app I just go to Favorites -> Threads. All the threads I post in show up there automatically, no matter on my desktop or phone. I'm pretty sure you're talking about UserCP, no?

No just from navigating the site on FireFox on my desktop normal style, I haven't even thought it might be a UserCP option, lemme see.

There's no option in userCP for it.

I'm confused. You want to know where all the threads you posted in are, on your desktop? UserCP.

If you use the XDA android app, in the "unread" button there's a "participated" and it shows every thread that someone has posted in that you have not read that YOU have at one time posted in.
On your computer I cannot find this option, only the "new post" button at the top that shows EVERY new post, even if you have never posted in that thread.
It seemed odd that the android app would have a feature the regular computer browser version doesn't, so I figured I must just be stupid and cannot find it.
Ideas?

I'm confused. Maybe it's because my settings are set to auto-subscribe me to any thread I post in? That's the way it was when I signed up and the way it's been on every forum I've been a part of. Clicking UserCP at the top (2010 theme) takes me to a listing of all the threads I've participated in & am subscribed to & have unread replies. They're shown in bold and ordered by which has the latest reply.

I see, well I didn't realize that I had to be subscribed for that.
I just did a "no emal" subscribe, so that should start showing up for me too.
Thanks.
I think a good addition might be to just add a "participated new post" button like they have in the tapatalk xda app
Yeah, that was definitely it. I guess the app somehow can keep thread subscriptions ("participated") without the website actually keeping them. That's weird. That's why I was always wondering, why is there a participated tab and a favorite threads tab? Because in the app I use Favorites -> Threads; it's the equivalent of UserCP.

Sounds like it. Apparently you don't have to be "subscribed" to it for the app to show it but on the PC you do.
Anyways it works now because I just tried it and this thread showed up with your unread post for me. Cheers.

I haven't been on XDA for many months but I'm sure there used to be a "Printable Version" option somewhere for forum posts. I've looked at half a dozen posts this morning but haven't been able to find anything.
In the FAQ (https://forum.xda-developers.com/faq.php?s=&do=search&q=printable&match=all&titlesonly=0) I found a mention of it under Thread Tools but I either I'm blind or it's vanished.
"At the top of each thread, there is a link called 'Thread Tools'. By clicking on this link, a menu will appear with a number of options:
Show Printable Version - this will show you a page with the thread post content in a reduced graphics format that is more 'printer friendly'."
Please tell me I'm just being blind and dumb and point me to where I should be looking!
Thanks in advance

The 2010 site theme has thread tools. 2013 beta has a print button, and I'm not sure it's an option on other themes. Perhaps it was abandoned, since most browsers have their own print options.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for taking the time to reply Darth. I'm guessing it might have something to do with the option of removing ads (which is certainly new to me) but completely understandable. There used to be a "simplify" version when printing via chrome but seems google have removed that on version 49.0.2623.112 (yes, I own up to being a guilty XP user) and selecting comes out all squwif. As I don't have internet at home I print off the long forums with several hundred posts to read later on .

You could attempt switching to 2010 theme to see if it does what you want when you want to print. Then switch back to your preferred theme otherwise.
Just a thought.
