I use the forum on my iPad and on my phone, but it doesn't seem to be that iPad/iPhone friendly. Aka the text is very small as a lot of the screen is used up with avatars on the left and sig images?

My thought is, is the any way to have an iPad/iPhone alternative?

Also how come the forum doesn't show up on forum apps such as tapatalk?

If anyone knows an iPad/iPhone forum app let me know

Cheers Cooper

I love it on the iPad, works brilliantly for me

In settings you can turn avatars & sigs off if you prefer

Will that change just on ipad or will it change my computer as well ?

The site works fine it's the same as on a mac.. But because I'm looking though the ipad mini screen it's small..

Maybe an option to make the text size larger would be an advantage?

If the forum supports it, tapatalk would be great - unfortunately people don't see the benefits of Tapatalk and the idea never gets pursued.

Tapatalk is a much easier way of navigating the forums on mobile devices, and the server plugin is free so I can't see any downsides.

If the forum backend doesn't support it though, a mobile theme would be a good alternative (based on browser user agent - if you're on a phone you automatically get the mobile theme.

Mobile touchscreen devices are rapidly taking over as the main way people access the Internet and needs considering

Yeah I think tapatalk would be brill!

When ever I'm on iPad/iPhone I just get the native desktop site and on the phone it becomes very easy to miss click

How do we push the tapatalk idea?

its not a problem its just small type so you have to keep zooming in all the time on each page, i think it would be easier in a better mobile layout?

Thought I'd seen tapatalk mentioned before,

http://www.fordfiestast.co.uk/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=300669&an=0&page=0#300669

I prefer using it as it is more convenient. Quite an anti crowd tho as well.
