Does the site have one? For the forum end of things? Currently my only access to the internet is through my DroidX2 and typing out a post on the sight is.... less than enjoyable ....

I would love a smart phone app for this forum. I do post sometimes using the browser on my phone but its very time consuming. I'm on a android phone.

I would love one as well considering I try to check the forums out on my lunch break, but it's such a pain on a phone. I just don't know how easily it could be done, so I wouldn't hold my breath. But light one up in hopes anyway.

I just checked again, and Tapatalk is still not compatible with the forum package we are using, but it is being worked on. Tapatalk is a paid closed source app, which is different than most plugins that add functionality. The team that is working on making Tapatalk work with Bbpress is a volunteer team, so it might not happen real fast.
Thanks for bringing it up. Hopefully we'll be able to use it in the near future.

Remind me the weekend after next (Nov 12th/13th) - I can bang out a mobile front-end ..... if nobody objects. Seems pretty straight forward to me. It won't be as elegant as tapatalk, but it will at least make our mobile experience a bit more friendly.

Thank you, Kevin and subperceptual. I appreciate the response. I don't mean to saddle you with more to do. I was wondering if there was an application already out that I was not aware of.

I was just thinking of posting a "we need a mobile version" and did a search. I wonder how close we are to seeing something more iPhone user friendly.

There's an app for that!
Err, wait ...
Kevin I still think getting your coder to make a mobile version of the website/forums is a good idea. Forget the special app that you'll end up having to make for iPhone and android.

Thanks for the thought toward Tapatalk. That is what I use on every other forum. Too bad this does not support it. Time for a change?

I'm on the other side, I like old school, setting on the desk, clanking on the keyboard, althouhg I have Samsung Galaxy Note mobile, but still prefer the old ways and big screens.

We are so underrepresented for being the best pipe community out there.
This is a screenshot from Forum Runner on my iPhone.

A mobile app or, at the very least, mobile functionality would be awesome. I often find myself in situations where I'd rather be communicating with my brothers and sisters here than the people who are five feet from me. Such is life.
Whatever the solution, if you need writing/editing/copy writing/minor graphics work done for for the final release, give me a holler. I've been damned busy these past couple days, but I'll make it work.

Forum Runner won't work for us either, but you guys have persuaded me to move this up on the list.
I'm starting the discussion with a couple of guys now, but keep in mind I am juggling A LOT of things, and have to pay the bills at the same time.
