Shed End for iPhone

[Tim]

Since the forum has changed format, i've noticed some changes in the way I can view it on my iphone and was wondering if anyone else is seeing the same things I am.

Before, the forum would take a while to load, and when it finally appeared on screen it would be exactly the same as on a normal computer screen.

Since the upgrade, there have been times when it behaves in the same way, but also times when it loads much quicker, looks a bit different (more gray than blue) and, most importantly, automatically fits the iphone screen, much like the mobile BBC site does. (ie, there is no need to scroll left and right to view the content, just up and down)

Obviously the latter is much better and allows me to read everyone's pearls of wisdom/nuggets of sh*t while im on the move, so does anyone know how to permanently set it to load in the 'new' way?

Cheers,

Tim.

If you are accessing on the phone Tim, it should automatically do it?

If it doesn't, there is a dropdown menu at the bottom of the main style to select the mobile style.

There are two different styles, the default Chelsea one (as you would see on the computer) and the mobile format, making it lighter for phones to use the forum.

You can get a free app for the iphone also http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ip-board-communities/id372597645?mt=8

I believe most of what is on that app now appears within the forum mobile style (through small upgrades made to it since the main upgrade) but I don't have an Iphone so you'll have to let us know if it is any different using the app.

I LOVE how the forum looks on the iPhone now, much easier to read and fast loading! 10/10!

iPhone App Updated

The new version of the IP.Board iPhone App is now available in the Apple App Store for download.

Push Notifications

Push notifications have been integrated into the existing notification system, so any event that can generate a notification can also generate a push notification. You can have notifications sent to your phone for subscribed forums and topics, new personal conversations, reported posts, and much more.

Users will see a new 'mobile' column in their notification settings with settings.

These same settings can also be updated directly from the iPhone App:

When you receive a notification on your phone, the Quick List for the forum that sent it will be automatically opened so that you can see the notifications:

Tapping the notification will take you directly to that area of the forum.

iPad Support (beta)

This version also includes preliminary support for the iPad, the application will now properly resize to use the entire screen. We'll be further enhancing this functionality in the future by providing a more customized interface and using the regular skin instead of the mobile skin.

(Yes, there is an Android app coming in the future still!)

Download the App Here FREE

Interesting to see an App. The mobile version in safari is excellent already, but without all the bells and whistles.

I can't even get the official Chelsea App because it's only in the UK app store. Guess they don't want to make money in other countires? At least I can get the Arsenal one

Use the website on my HTC android phone and wanted to belatedly thank the admins for this great mobile version - It's fast and great to read and write!
