Would it be possible to have an optional skin for the forum that turns down the graphics a bit? the background and the fine detail in the graphics look nice, but it's bogging my Blackberry (and I imagine other people's smartphones and portables) down.

Maybe here's an option to create multiple skins, or something?

I can make a simple skin if you like, not entirely sure how you would select it purely for your blackberry though, because it will load every time you login, regardless of what you login on.
Are you using the Proboards App? Or just accessing the main site through Internet, if the latter - does the page display as a web page or as a mobile-friendly page?

I tested this graphics layout on my (and a few friends) smartphones and I've not seen any issues so far. :/ Does anyone else have this issue then?

I wouldn't really mind having the simple skin all the time.

I do not have the Proboards App, as PB doesn't have a Blackberry port of it though. When I access the site from the built-in browser, I would be defaulting to the Desktop (read: non-mobile) version unless I switch it there by adding "m." at the beginning, and even then I see no difference in graphics, layout or even browsing speed.

I have a Blackberry Bold 9870, and I barely have any apps on it. Disabling Images in the options menu makes things faster, but also disables the buttons like "Quote" "Edit" and all the buttons at the top like "Profile" and "Newest Threads."
