How to Install SMF 4 Mobile on SMF, To Make It Mobile Friendly.

I know many smf forum admin are just tired of the way the smf mobile version looks like, and would really want it to be more mobile friendly as many users this days are moving away from their PC's to mobile phones and smart phones.
With SMF for mobile, all your trouble is over. It is priced at $20 a year which is peanuts if you compare it to getting a developer to create a mobile site for you. You can find it here http://smf-media.com/
You can take a look at their site and go onto their forum to get an idea of how it works. You can sign in and register on this theme/mod. SMF 4 mobile is automatically selected if the user is on a mobile device .
