Title: phone application
Post by: JuggernautJon on March 17, 2011, 05:20:48 AM
I'm not sure if this is a dead horse or not, but I'd like to know anyhow. Would any of our incredibly bright, technology savvy free thinkers know how to make a HAF app for your phone? Or if its even possible? I have a blackberry bold and I spend my forum time on said phone.

Yes, it's possible. There's something called Forum Runner (http://www.forumrunner.net/), which I believe is compatible with the iPhone and Android. Blackberry and Windows Mobile support are forthcoming. The thing is, while it's free for us to install on HAF, the app costs $1.99 if you want to post, view images, etc. It's a one-time cost, but people are used to this being a free forum.

I'll tell you what, if there's enough interest for this, I'll see what I can do.

One or two people already asked for this (which isn't much compared to how many haf people have smart phones)...with the board already having some issues I don't feel comfortable installing 3rd party software for which I can't get any support from phpbb.

I also have a blackberry bold and am able to navigate the forum on it; you can't see the quote buttons on the screen fro some reason but clicking where they usually are still works.

Yeah I understand the desire to not overload the board. My blackberry is less forgiving to me, unfortunately. It hardly loads the pages a lot of times, cutting the thread in half, thus rendering it impossible to see a potential reply to a comment I may have made, or vice versa. I can still enjoy a lot of other aspects about the HAF, so I should probably take this dress off and end this tea party...in other words, be happy for what I am able to see. Smart phones not being very smart. Go figure haha
