Mobile device support coming.
Sometime over the next few days I'll be making modifications to the board software to add better support for mobile devices such as the iPhone and Android phones, using a piece of third party software called Tapatalk. I will need to take the board down for a while to add this support.
The rest of this post has been copied from the Tapatalk support site.
Tapatalk is a mobile forum app for iPhone / Android and soon to be on Blackberry and Nokia. Tapatalk supports vBulletin (3.x and 4.x) and phpBB 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.

Nice one, Jethro.

Re: Mobile device support coming.
Having just arrived back from school for a six week holiday I didn't think I could feel more happy. Thanks Jethro, this is excellent news. It is a bit of a nightmare trying to navigate the site (as I am doing now) on an iPhone screen. Will there be a BCB icon for my home screen?

YUPI!!!
Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

Good to know! I mean, I can read the boards okayish with my lil' bit of 'net my phone gets, but I'm unsuccessful when I try to post.

If the answer to that is "no", it's a relatively simple piece of work to add one. Simple enough that i could do it, if required.Molony wrote:Will there be a BCB icon for my home screen?
In fact, all that needs to be done is to take the following image:
Save it as a PNG, and save it at the following location: http://www.bcb-board.co.uk/apple-touch-icon.png
Easy as that.

Re: Mobile device support coming.
I've uploaded the Tapatalk code, but have yet to make modifications to the various templates to point supported devices to the Tapatalk download page. It requires taking the site down momentarily to test.
I hope to be able to borrow an iPod touch sometime this weekend to test it on, and will make the changes then.

Don't you need to upgrade to the paid version?

Re: Mobile device support coming.
Yes. But as it goes, a jailbroken phone with a hacked .ipa works just the same.
I've got the right version of Tapatalk.
