Description
Skiffie defaults to the mobile theme when viewed via Firefox and Seamonkey from OS X.
It is possible to access the web view using Internet Explorer 5.2 for Mac (shudder!).
User Agent declarations for reference:
Firefox: "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6"
Seamonkey: "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070802 SeaMonkey/1.1.4"
IE5(Mac) : "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.23; Mac_PowerPC)"
I like the web view though and I hope to use this module for a Japanese site with some tweaks. If it all works out OK I hope to to contribute more this support requests in the future :-)

Thanks for the info. skiffie.com seemed to be down a bit recently - not sure why!
As to your comments about MAC and browsers, thanks. This is untested.
However, the user agent is not checked specifically.
I have found the culprit.
In the browser.inc file, there is PPC value -
which seems to be in the UA string for the browsers you are having issues with.
I cannot upload the file to CVS just now, but a new version is available on skiffie: clicky
or attached. Rename accordingly....
And thanks for the offer of help :)
