Oh come on chaps, I having a job seeing my laptop never mind the keys! What hope have I got with those thingy- ma -jiggs that you are talking about! But thanks for the explanations.

I'm with you Jock! I'm accused of being a bit stone age at times.....I'm afraid that while all this techno stuff passes me by, I'll still be hiding in my cave

None of the forums I am on use software like that yet -- I think it's a wonderful idea. My website uses a plug-in that makes it look different for phones (nothing fancy or customized), but on a computer it is the original design.

I use an iPhone 3GS and use it a lot here, mostly skimming though, because it is a little more annoying having to zoom in, rotate, zoom out, scroll scroll scroll. It helps keep me from having 10+ pages to view later when I am at the computer though.

I'm not complaining either, the forum works fine just now on my phone but an app wouldn't Hurt either

I agree that a smart phone app would be a great addition to the forum. We would have done the conversion earlier but the ver. 4.0 of vBulletin still has some issues that are being worked on.

I did not think that anyone was complaining. I took the suggestion in the vein that it was presented. A good suggestion that would be a great addition to the forum.

My thanks to all of you.

Are we talking about an App(as in Iphone or Android) or a mobile version of the forum? I think those are two different things.

I'm guessing it would just be a mobile version for the forum. But an X-Marks app would be cool too! Maybe a tartan identifier, using photo recognition like the new Google shopper app! Or maybe a "what would Jock Scot do" app that would use photo recognition of your kilted outfit to tell you that you're too matchy-matchy?

Steve, that sounds GREAT! And like the others, I'm grateful for the hard work y'all do, and look forward to the upgrade when it comes.

Any update on this?

I use it on my Droid X and it runs just like it does on my laptop

I access the forum almost exclusively via my android powered smart phone. I don't have any issue with the format it takes on my phone's web browser, but I have looked for the app in the "market" before. It would definitely make a handy additional way to access the forum.

Get about 95% functionality on my android powered htc evo here... I suspect that switching to firefox or opera would get me to 100%, but since it's mainly drop down menus it's not a huge problem...

Any android users having problems might want to make sure the browser is told to look at the regular website not a mobile one...

Biggest problem i have is with typos in replys... Small onscreen keyboard...
