It would be nice if we could post in the lo-fi mode. Lo-fi mode
looks much nicer in Lynx than regular mode.

Agreed, I tried Lynx earlier and it took me a while to figure out that you can't post

EDIT: Using Lynx

Anyway, there should be a way to see any new posts in Lo-Fi mode

Why does it look better in Lo-Fi? That isn't supposed to be...

It looks better in Lynx. Since it doesn't format tables like a graphical web browser, the non-lo-fi version is extremely messy and hard to navigate, but the lo-fi version is much cleaner.

Nope. Lynx is a text-only browser.

Well, the lofi-version is meant for printing. Not sure if Invision Power plans anything like that, but I will ask them.

I went in search of a lo-fi IPB skin for v2.0 a while back, and found one, but when I last checked it wasn't fully finished. I'll see if I can find it again.

Edit: not quite a full 'lo-fi' mode, but certainly lighter on bandwidth - http://forums.invisi...showtopic=59385

It still doesn't look too good in Lynx, It's still a big table but with all the images removed

I went into graphics mode *shudder* to see it. Almost anything with tables is going to look like a big jumble of messyness in Lynx.
I found this in the Lynx help:
