Forums now available on Mobile Phone

Post by theraven1979 »

Just configured the board with software which allows the forums to be displayed/read/posted to very easily via a mobile phone (Android, iPhone, WP7). Just tried it myself and it works very nice on my Samsung Omnia 7 :grin: 8)

Some blurb that explains further.....

"Tapatalk is a mobile forum app for iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and Nokia. Tapatalk supports vBulletin, phpBB, IPB and SMF forums and forum owner can activate this service for free. Tapatalk supports all the usual forum functions plus full screen image viewing, image upload, caching (less reload), private messaging, all these features are accessible in just a few simple taps."

http://www.tapatalk.com gives you more info - You can download the client app there (l'm using http://www.board-express.com/ which is working very nice on WP7)


Is this also a good time to mention that the forum funds need replenishing in the new year? More about that in a couple of months.

You don't need a slidebar you whorebag. The navigation bar is at the top of the forums

OK then, I already view the forums from my phone via the web browser. What would be the difference if I downloaded this new software?

I see you've answered your own question here but just for anyone else it makes browsing the forums a hell lot easier. No zooming back and forth etc - Just easier navigation and UI experience.

Gone are the days when a phone was a phone Owen.

Blackberrys or Crackberrys as they call them. If i owned one i wouldnt use it to go on the the forums you should see the pictures and videos that get sent to someone i work with in th carpark. It's like a portabale girl magnet. His got 3 girls on the go at once thanks to that little device!.
