With the Nintendo Wii booming in sales (got one myself, too), it would be cool to have standard support for TV/Wii-browsers (Wii is Opera 9-based) in UseBB 2's theme system.
The idea is to detect if the user uses a TV/Wii to browse a forum, and then to override the themes with a special TV/Wii-optimized theme.
I'm going to do this with my site too, though at the moment it displays quite good anyway. Here's a piece of code to demonstrate the detection:
if(stristr($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"], "Wii")){
echo "You're using the Wii!";
}
else{
echo "You're not using the Wii! Instead you use: ";
echo $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"];
}
Including this support should really be considered, due to the fact of increasing popularity of TV-browsing.
CMSes like Joomla! already have gotten plugins for this, but in my opinnion UseBB 2 should include this support by default.
When I have time, I'll also try to write a modification for UseBB 1.
Thank you very much and good luck with developing!
