Poll: Poll Please: Should OCUK make the forums iPhone friendly?

tapatalk is good youknow.
I use it for a fish forum, very handy

Ironically the only thing I find hard to read on the whole overclockers forums with an iPhone is posts by the Apple section Don feek with the special font he uses.

No need, they are already phone friendly. However, I would like to see an iphone version.

Tapatalk looks pretty good to me. Would really like OcUK to give it a whirl.

Browsing this on an iPhone is an okay experience but after having used a forum with an iPhone interface like neowin there is no comparison, it just feels like a much nicer experience. Most websites are designed to make use of a mouse, not a touchscreen. Whilst a touchscreen does make a decent replacement for a mouse it's not the ideal experience.

Given that the black theme never got implemented after reasonable demand, I can't see a mobile theme forthcoming for a minority.

I don't have too much of a problem browsing on the iPhone anyway.

Got some spare time on my hands...(contract is coming to end - oh joy!

) but I would be up for it. Was going to look into App developing.

I think they should, like the Neowin example above.

But I ain't holding my breath, we got a "colour change" poll a while ago, people voted, and nothing happened.

[Edit] Actually, how about an OcUK forums app?

A decent site icon would be a start. I won't bookmark sites on the "home screen" if they don't have a dedicated iPhone icon

This is exactly how I feel.

just install tapatalk please >.> lol

Third for tapatalk -> I use it on other forums; i thought about starting a seperate thread asking but this might be the place - its only a free addon to the vb software isn't it?

marc2003 · 9 Mar 2010 at 09:55

is it an official feature built into VBulletin? if the answer is no, you've got no chance.

Another vote for Tapatalk. It's a no cost option for the site owner and according to the site admin on another forum I frequent, it was simple to enable.

Tapatalk please - iPhone app is out as of yesterday.

I have no issues, but going a bit off topic, I wish there was an iPhone/iPod selection on the forum, or post about them gets moved to the
mobile phone selection.

It does seem more logicial to me, when someone os asking for help on windows 7 and iTunes for it to be within the windows or mobile phones selection than to ask a load of mac users for help.

I wasn't really bothered about this but after browsing the Neowin forums earlier on my phone it is a much nicer and faster experience.

Metalface Mark · 14 May 2010 at 16:49

Would love to see the forums on tapatalk, i dont both browsing ocuk mobiley, prefer to use tapatalk enabled ones.

MuGeN · 15 May 2010 at 13:52

Just downloaded tapatalk, its bloody brilliant!

Is there any reason why they wouldn't install the free plugin? almost seems a shame not to on a techno-oriented forum?
