I've spent a good portion of today trying to digest and understand "mobile" vBulletin. I have 2 vBulletin forum licenses, and have been looking at a third. However, it's beyond me how pathetic the resources are in terms of setting up or using mobile. From my perspective, take a bunch of almost random pieces of information, most of it outdated, put it in a blender, then assemble that on a tutorial. That's about how clear this is to me. I'm not a newbie by any stretch. I simply DO NOT UNDERSTAND. WTF is the mobile suite? I have to make an app? Will the forum flip to mobile automatically like my Wordpress site will? Is there a free and a paid option? I mean seriously pathetic that I can't get a basic understanding even after spending hours trying to figure this out. Yes, I've registered to say this. The actual page on vBulletin tells me next to nothing. When I see some sites, redflagdeals.com or neogaf forums, they have some type of mobile implementation that is fantastic. However, there is no resources about how that is done or what needs to be purchased, if anything. It's basically 2015. Mobile might be 50% of some peoples traffic. No excuses imo.

Install that one and you'll be able to see it in action on your device easy enough. If you want the same thing you see there for your own forum, you'll need to pay for it. You can change colors on it to better suit your own forums, somewhat.

Not to be confused with the mobile suite (an app for mobile devices).

You can configure the mobile style to be automatically used when a user visits via mobile device, yes. The mobile style is free. The Mobile Suite app, is not free.
When I see some sites
The other site, some other type of forum software I think.
However, there is no resources about how that is done or what needs to be purchased, if anything.
