Now that everything is stable and the migration sorted, can I put in an "upgrade" request, please.

Have you considered implementing phpBB Mobile ? http://phpbb-mobile.com/ It would be quite useful for those who use smartphones and similar to access the site.

Good shout as I spend a lot of time accessing the forum from my phone. What are the advantages??

I have been watching this project for a while and was waiting for the official release as I am always sceptical about RC's.

I will have a closer look ;)

I am getting a "Request blocked" when I try to DL it...

However they have a copy on the forum but I think it is still too buggy at the moment.

Works on Android and boing - I use it on a couple of forums and it is easy to use.

But it means another app as well as a browser on the phone. Plus, it does not work on all smartphones.

Taptalk costs, what advantage does it bring to accessing a forum on your phone?

Its free?? (well I didnt pay for mine and it is the full version on Android) - Makes the forum easier to view and navigate on a smartphone. Handles PMs, mark forums read, read un read posts etc etc

Mike

**edit just seen it is now a pay service - Ive had it for ages, must have been free at some point - I don't pay for apps.

But it does not work on ALL 'phones ... and needs to run in parallel to a browser.

And it still requires the full page to be downloaded rather than a mobile version which cuts out a lot or superfluous data.
