The text is a little smaller, but I fixed the iPhone version so it doesn't scroll horizontally. It now has a web icon for when you favorite it to your home screen, also removes the toolbar when you use that method to view the forums.

I wonder if the InvisionBoard team will build this feature into their next version, because with all the mobile browsing increasing, it became a need, and I don't see every single developer to this!

IPB have said that in their next release 3.0 they will be including a mobile skin.

But going from what I see here, I don't know for what platform are they going to be basing theres.

But then saying that, this new skin is working on my N95 so maybe its not just a iPhone/Windows Mobile thing after all. :whistle:

As part of Neowin's 8th birthday celebrations, we are proud to announce the launch of a forum skin specifically for our members who like to surf on the go. The new skin has been tested across a range of the most popular mobile browsers to give members a great Neowin experience out on the road.

Our developer Timan has worked tirelessly on this skin to ensure it contains all the features you need to post on Neowin from a mobile device. To keep the skin bandwidth friendly, the number of images on the page is very low, and signatures and other less necessary parts are not displayed.

Two things to check: Make sure Opera isn't set to identify as a desktop computer (that avoids our mobile detection script), if that fails, try closing the site, clearing out your cookies and loading the site again.

First: False that there are more S40s than S60s. The Symbian really took off with S60.

In Europe, there are no Wifi hotspots everywhere and it is not sold with a data plan.

LOL you are SO really out of touch of reality. :laugh:

No. of Nokia phones sold Q2 2008 : 122 million

No. of S60 phones sold Q2 2008 : 15.3 million

guess what the remaining 106.7 million phones are? S40 phones. ;)

"False that there are more S40s than S60s"? LOL in your wet dream. You are the FALSE one here, and obviously the one who's either blind or can't even read basic facts here. :D

Im done; I hope Tim really ment that hes looking out for Symbian users like they really deserve :)

ROFL. Really nice to know it's your last post in this thread, since you are just all bullcraps. Good riddance :laugh:

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      Age 16, old enough to get a full-time job, your own bank account, a passport, get married, even join the military and go to war. But talking to your friends on the internet? Oh hell no!

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
