No, because this is a computer forum and nobody who knows anything about computers would be dumb enough to own an Apple product.....

You want to go down that road mejinks?

I never got the need for one either. Apps are great for things like train times, maps and that sort of thing. For browsing a forum? Seems pointless to me.

I tell you what I loathe.

Mobile sites

I WISH THEY WOULD DIE ALREADY

If they'd update their very outdated vBulletin, they'd have a very usable responsive theme which would work for mobiles.

Current 3.7.3, latest 5.1.3.

While I can see why they're reluctant to do this (cost, updating trust, forum profile - shop linking), the pro's outweigh the cons.

We do need a mobile theme or something more useable. This forum whilst usable has an awful UX on a mobile, which is why this thread comes up every month.

Nope but they have an android one

this really.

zooming in and out to try and hit the right page number is a complete donkey.

Yeah I am on various other forums which use Taptalk and I find to be wonderful on mobile, but this site I never check on mobile due to difficult it is to read and browse on mobile.

The admins were looking at this. Not sure how far it got though.

Can't see it being too hard. But as I said above, they'll probably want to keep their trust system and shop-forum software link integration, both of which are directly tied in with vBulletin.
