Stewed, scroll to the very bottom of the screen wile in the forums, and on the left you'll see "IP Board" in a drop down menu. When on palm devices use the "Lo-fi" version

Tarzan whats up my man, you know it i got the majic beans over this way. Your last girl you took down looked very nice. How are things over that way?

Sorry to hear that. Wouldn't think a text site would be hard to navigate. Sadly I have no iphone so no way to make any improvements in that area.

 

Best of luck

 

EDIT: I just looked at the lo-fi site though a iphone emulator and other then your personal info being a little garbled the page looks tons easier to navigate. Guess it's a matter of preference. When I get some time I'll look into putting the account info all on separate lines, but the rest looks fine to me, and very easy to navigate the forums. The main page has no Lo-fi version, so your left to scroll just like on the drupal site. But the forum is tons easier to navigate in lo-fi.

The site works just fine on my iPhone. As a matter of fact it defaults to the Lo-Fi browser version once you click on 'Forums'...

 

If you're having issues navigating because the buttons are too small you can simply use two fingers and zoom in on the button real quick.

 

Although, over the 3G connection it is a bit slow. But that's with all connectivity simply because of the 3G's low-band connection. Try using a WiFi connection, tis much faster.

 

Even the Gallery comes up nicely.

Hello all,

I know this thread is a little older, but there is apps that help with this forum. You guys can read about it here: IPHONE/ANDROID

I can't give you guys links to the IPB mod and it's functions as you guys can't see the IPB forums without a license, but the above link should give you a good idea.

 

The app requires that I install a modification to link the two, so please don't just buy the app thinking it will help at this time. I bring this up to see if you guys are interested and would buy the $2.99 app. I mean no point installing anything if it's not something you guys would use.

 

We also have to keep in mind that IPB 3.0.5 is already in a beta3 for 3.1.x and as soon as they reach a release candidate I'll be updating which would also mean that the app may have a null period till the mod author updates his/her app.

 

Just some ideas

Download the Opera browser from the app store its free, MMMA works great in it, and its much faster then safari.

My thoughts when I first dl'd it too!

[Guest OxXGarfieldXxO]

OK great....sounds like you mobile guys have it figured out for free....

 

Best guys and gals

[Guest OxXGarfieldXxO]

After I posted that one application, on the 22nd this post showed up on IPB site. Since you guys can't access the info I've taken the liberty to mirror the post here on this site. So even more compatibility on the way. The new upgrade is on it's 3rd Beta, so shouldn't be long.

 

 

The mobile market for communities has exploded and we have responded by offering a great, new mobile skin for IP.Board and its applications. There are inherent limitations in a mobile skin that are difficult to work around such as image uploading, logging in, and more that are either impossible or just tedious on a mobile device.

 

 

IPS is happy to introduce a new iPhone app to solve these issues and add new options!

 

 

Easy Login to all your IP.Board Communities

 

 

You can add a list of all the IP.Board-powered communities you visit and save your username/password to those communities in the app. You now have one-tap access to all the communities you visit. No need to tap out your login each time you wish to visit the community of your choice and easily switch between all the communities you visit!

 

Uses Standard Mobile Skin

 

 

When you visit the community, you will see that it uses the standard IP.Board mobile skin available standard in the platform. We considered creating a native interface within the iPhone app but there are several advantages to using the built-in mobile skin:

 

• Common user experience - regardless of a user visiting through the iPhone app, normal browser, or any other mobile device they will have a similar browsing experience on your community
• Design control - As the owner of your community, you want complete control of the look, feel, and branding of your community. If we were to create a native, standardized interface then IPS would be in control of that look: not you. We obviously never wish to get between you and your visitors so using the mobile skin allows for you to have complete control of the look of your community.
• Advertising Control - Much as above with the look and feel: IPS does not want to get between you and your advertising revenue. By using the standard mobile skin, you are free to place your own advertising and sponsorships. Tap into the mobile market without worry about a third-party getting in the way!
• Native Interface Option - If you did want a native iPhone interface, there are great skins available from third-party skinners in our community that will make your community look like it's running right on the iPhone while still maintaining the three advantages above.

 

Member Status Updates

 

 

Your members can update their IP.Board profile status right within the app without having to navigate to any other page. Even better, if you use IP.Board's built-in Twitter and Facebook integrations, your members can even update the status on your community, their Facebook, and their Twitter all in one click! This allows your community to become the center of their online social experience.

 

IP.Gallery Integration

 

 

If your community has our IP.Gallery image gallery software installed: your members will be able to upload images, videos, and camera shots directly from their iPhone to your community! Members can select their source, write a caption, description, and even choose from the albums they have created on your community to upload their media.

 

Sharing

 

 

Two simple but easy sharing functions are available: open in Safari and email. Found a great topic on a community you visit and want to share it? Just click email and send it to a friend. You can also open the community in Safari to bookmark a page or perform other functions available in the OS browser.

 

 

 

Pricing and Availability

 

It's already done! Please note that the app will require IP.Board 3.1 is installed to communicate with your community.

 

We are happy to say that the IP.Board iPhone app will be available totally free to all! There are no ads from IPS in the app or anything intrusive that will distract from your community.

 

Future Ideas

 

This is the very first version of the iPhone app and we have tons of great ideas to improve it and will continue to do so over time.

 

Yes: we will be creating an Android platform app as well.

 

We will also be creating an option, for a small fee, to create a private-label version of the app for anyone who wants one that can only be used on your community. Information on the private-label service will come after the app has gone through a few maintenance updates.

 

Other fun features like mobile access to the Community Directory and Push Notifications for new activity on your community are already in progress! Stay tuned!

 

 

 

 

Important Notes

 

Because of Apple's approval process, the version of the app available in the App Store is now a couple weeks out of date. It therefore has a few known issues that have already been addressed. We have submitted an update to the app for approval to Apple that will fix these issues and are waiting for its approval. The update will show in iTunes like any other app.

 

As of this moment, you can use the app here on the IPS Community. We will be releasing an update to IP.Board 3.1 Beta 3 (and included in final version, of course) to support the app.

 

If you find issues, please post in our bug tracker and if you have suggestions we would love to hear them in our feedback forum.
