PHBB forum, iPod touch/iPhone viewer

Post by Sharp Dagger » Thu Sep 24, 2009 5:16 pm

Basically it let's you view forums without having to zoom in on every link you click.
It's 59p, not sure if it's made by the people who made the PHBB code or not
on the app store just search forum and it's the first one that comes up
I say in a sec if it's good or not

Actually folks,

As I'm someone who often checks the forums on their phone, could I also enquire as to whether installing this would be possible?

Yes but since the iPod has to display so much everything gets very small so clicking the page number can become a challenge without zooming in, which also takes time as I has to sharpen whatever you are looking at.
I'll post some pics once my colds gone.

I believe he is talking of pda format, where the forum is only made by text and links. Loading much faster for portable devices like the PSP :P

ye thats it devvil, there is a cut down version of the main phpbb theme although thinking of it now it is seriously cut down and basic. It's also probably not available by default.

Ok. Maybe it's not a good idea to install it but I have uploaded it. It only works with the iphone app (which I couldn't find) but it's there. change the url from index.php to touchbb.php.

I understand where you are coming from with the forums on a phone. I use a nokia 5800 and I find it manageable as is. I'm sure there is a style somewhere but I have yet to look an put it on. I know some boards come complete with a wap parameter that changes the forum text to simple text (which I don't like).

If you could give some feedback as to how you find it I'd appreciate it. This is just a test for now and the file maybe removed.
