Title: Iphone App?
Post by: STFC_Gazza on Monday, August 2, 2010, 09:20:55
Is there an app to view this forum on the iphone?? I know Proboards do one? Is there an app to view this forum? I know you can view it on the normal safari web browser.

While on the subject of Blackberry my friend has just got back from abroad and didnt turn his roaming devise off before getting there ??..now i havnt a clue what this is but he got billed for internet use even though he didnt actively use it.
He got it sorted in the end after alot of hassle but for people going on holiday or abroad and taking the Blackberry it may be worth looking into.
I am a complete twat when it comes to gadgets so if someone knows what i am getting at they may word it better!

What is wrong with viewing it on the normal safari web browser?

Works fine for me.

BB's use the mobile internet instead of wifi, which is why if you don't turn off roaming you'll get bummed for internet use abroad

It's more or less permanantly connected, if you haven't got the £5 per month unlimited! Then I would imagine it was racking up the 50p per day tarriff with additional roaming charges on top. And as with BO this forum works fine in safari on an itouch anyway.

Is it actually an app for ProBoards? Some of the forum software has a theme for iPhone's (or other mobile devices) which it applies automatically so browsing is customised for the device. Not sure if Simple Machines does one.

It is an app for proboards, and there is also proboards lite.

These look like what you're after, second one looks proper. Don't use an iPhone so don't know though! :)

I've looked at this, doesn't it need to be activated by the forum admins first though?

No idea. I'll have a gander and get back to you.

EDIT: The front end doesn't like it, but if you access the forum directly it'll be fine. Just checked it for you. :)

Yeah, I think it delivers a text only/wap version by the looks of it when it sees a mobile user agent.
