    Lanzman,

    I recently downloaded an iPhone App called Tapatalk. It basically takes vBulletin forums and smmoths out the interface for mobile devices. So far, it works pretty good with other vBulletin forums I visit, but my favorite, wordforge.net doesn't support it yet. The makers said I should ask the forum administrators to support it, so here I am asking.


    Thanks!

    We have a skin designed for mobile devices, called "Lilliputian". That should work on your iPhone. But forward me the technical stuff and I'll see if we would need to upgrade our version of vBulletin to accommodate this.

    I have tapatalk as well. It would be useful to have the support.

    They say you can activate Tapatalk support for WF at no cost and the App is available on Android devices too. Look at how beautiful and streamlined the interface is compared to the Lillipututian skin.

    Any feedback yet? I see that the current version of WF (3.8.1) is supported by Tapatalk.... They even would allow you to rebrand it so that you could have a Wordforge App on Blackberrys and iPhones. That would rock, but may be cost prohibitive I'm sure.

    I've looked over the info and whatnot. Looks straightforward enough. I'm thinking we'll install this little bugger.

    I have just been informed I had the wrong day. I could have only called it off yesterday. Seems the authorities did it for me!

    I just ordered a Droid X and will probably spend the next year trying to figure it out. I've been eligible for a new phone since '08 so this one only cost me $99.

    So, what is this 'Tapatalk'?

    An iPhone app that makes boards more phone friendly.

    There is a "read only" version that's free, but that sucks. I bought the $3 app that allows you to post replies and start threads on the go.

    any chance of WF rebranding it?

    It is an app that allows you to access bulletin boards like wordforge. It is available in the android marketplace.

    The app really helps with these types of boards. Once the necessary things are installed on WF if you access the board from your droid it will let you know you can use tapatalk.
