Doesn't have to be you doing the work, Andy. Does it? Anyway, what do I know? I just write the instructions for using SW already developed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Writing a iPhone App for 914world would be 100x the time needed than building a mobile friendly skin for the existing forum software. Anyway, what do I know? I just write software for a living ...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Sure. Whatever...
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) Doesn't have to be iPhone specific. Just more mobile-friendly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/call me.gif) |

There are already some iPhone/mobile skins for Invision:

I work for a non-profit and we want an iPhone App too.
http://www.seaturtles.org BUT we were advised that a HTML 5 site would be better = optimized for all mobile devices. Andy - I will bug you about this Saturday to learn more about what is best for the future of mini-internet users. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Just change your user settings under the control panel. Turn off avatars, limit the number of posts per page, thumbnail photos only, delete signatures, etc. It should run fine. I did this before the current generation of smart phones to speed up download times. |

I was jonsing for an app for the World tonight as well, so that I did not have to come back in from the garage to ask questions.
I guess I am surprised the Invision does not have a mobile app. What would be required to implement the super lo-fi mobile skin they made? Zach |

Just be on the Garage page (or whatever page you like), click the + sign, and add to your home screen, give it the name you want, and BINGO, App.on your home screen. Isn't this all you want? An instant link to World? If you want it do do something else, better ask the pros. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)

Its enough of a pain that I won't check the site from my iPhone unless I am REALLY bored. I had it with me in the garage this evening, but still came in to get on the computer rather then try and check it on my phone. Zach |

QUOTE(gopack @ May 25 2010, 08:03 PM) I think I NEED a Pre how do you like it? I like my Pre a lot. My only complaint is battery life. Not super sturdy either; don't drop it then accidently punt it while trying to cushion the fall with your foot or it could cause issues with the power/sleep button. Don't ask me how I know.

Zach The mobile friendly change I would most appreciate would be a larger "new post" graphic, cuz this one (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/style_images/L65K/newpost.gif) is damn hard to tap on a touch screen phone! |

Here's a 16x16 version of the newpost.gif:
 I think the original 8x8 gif could be replaced with this, which would greatly help mobile phone users without negatively affecting other browsers. |

assuming everything is compatible its a nifty little app. use opera mobile if you want fast browsing. and like he was saying android runs this forum perfect. ive seen the safari browser and its not as smooth as Xscope or dolphin browser for android. i never have to pinch to zoom its almost as if its already APP'd because it doesn't require any resizing. but i also like tiny text i love my screen real-estate. |
