evandixon Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 I frequently use my DSi to get onto these forums (like I am now), and it often runs out of memory. Is there any way to "fix" the forum to use less memory?
SCV Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 I frequently use my DSi to get onto these forums (like I am now), and it often runs out of memory. Is there any way to "fix" the forum to use less memory? Which theme do you use? We can make a special theme for the DSi.
evandixon Posted June 8, 2009 Author Posted June 8, 2009 Which theme do you use? We can make a special theme for the DSi. Project Pokemon. The same one I use for my PC (which I'm on now).
SCV Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Project Pokemon. The same one I use for my PC (which I'm on now). Yeah, don't use that one, its pretty "heavy". Try using one of the other ones and let us know if its still bad.
Janime6 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Yea, the other themes work a lot better. They load faster and I highly doubt they will run out as fast (I am testing on my DSi).
Okami Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 It would probably still be best to make a special theme specific for the DSi, though, SCV. That way users using the DSi browser wouldn't have to worry about loading times so much.
Nirron Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 It would be cool to have a unique theme for Nintendo DSi users!
HottSushiz Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I think Techron is a more suitable choice for the DSi Browser, and in my opinion it loads more faster then the other themes avaliable.
FLOOTENKERP Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Like Okami said, you guys should still make a DSi theme. I'm getting a DSi and do not want to have to worry about the themes not working very well on the browser, and not many sites are DSi compatible so that would make this site look even better compared to others.
damio Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 It would probably still be best to make a special theme specific for the DSi, though, SCV. That way users using the DSi browser wouldn't have to worry about loading times so much. What about an iPod Touch/iPhone theme? <:B
evandixon Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 What have I done? I've started an entire conversation!!! What about an iPod Touch/iPhone theme? <:B Just make a "mobile" theme. I've seen an iPod Touch, it works in a similer way to the DSi, except the DSi takes advantage of the two screens. -posted on a DSi
FLOOTENKERP Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 That would probably bring more users since there are a lot of people who have internet that use a DSi instead of a computer that like Pokémon.
damio Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 That would probably bring more users since there are a lot of people who have internet that use a DSi instead of a computer that like Pokémon. That doesn't make sense. Last time I checked more people owned a computer than a DSi, let alone used a DSi for the Internet out of pure preference to it's browser. - Posted from my iPod.
evandixon Posted June 11, 2009 Author Posted June 11, 2009 ... let alone used a DSi for the Internet out of pure preference to it's browser. A computer is MUCH easier, and faster. It takes forever to type out posts with a stylus, but keyboards are much faster. I only use the DSi when I'm not able to get to my computer. -Posted on the awesomeness of a fast and easy PC.

FLOOTENKERP Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Sorry, it does sound out of the ordinary, but there are some people out there that do it. But still, it would make it easier for traveling members with DSi browsers.
evandixon Posted June 12, 2009 Author Posted June 12, 2009 Ideas for the "Mobile" theme: -Remove most all graphics -Auto-detect mobbile device -Auto 5 posts per page, 10 threads per page -(For all themes): Option to hide/show signitures by only specified users, because most users have a large image on theirs. -Narrow page width.
damio Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 What about a text only theme? Or with extremely lower quality images to decrease download size?
evandixon Posted June 13, 2009 Author Posted June 13, 2009 What about a text only theme? May be with just simple CSS for flavor.
Greencat Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 I've personally used my iPhone to use the forums a few times. At one point, it was 4 days straight, but I don't know how and what the resolution would have to be to make a forum to operate for iPhone and iTouch users. I've seen a forum with a theme made for iPhone and iTouch. I'll probably check it out and see what I can do. If you know how to make a theme for iPhone and iTouch users, let me know via PM.
4evil Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 have you tried setting it so it loads in a column formation and not in overview mode?
Ziz Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I use my iPod Touch to browse the site sometimes, and its pretty fine the way it is. Except its huge and I can barely click on small buttons and links smushed together.
