I would love this. However when you can just go into your browser and find it, I'm not so sure the devs would want to create an entire new app for it. I'm pretty sure it costs money to do those kinds of things.

What would you want this app to do, specifically?

**xJoey** · 06-17-2010, 02:37 PM

Why replicate the functionality of a browser? What would be the advantage? What would an app do for you that the browser will not?

i want an app that replicates the forums but removes threads like this

**xJoey** · 06-17-2010, 02:46 PM

its hard to explain. theres some websites that have things like this. but it could help navigating though the website better

**Justg** · 06-17-2010, 02:47 PM

We just need a mobile version of the website. Samhayne is on it

**xJoey** · 06-17-2010, 02:52 PM

That explains it: I browse on my iPad or on my PC, so I'm unaware of the constraints of the smaller platform xJoey is probably using. I'd assume that vBulletin has a plug-in or some sort of existing functionality to provide a mobile experience. I'd be shocked if not.

I am looking at picking up Forum Runner because I have heard good things (no, not an affiliate). I think the devs would have to register the forum with them.

Let me know if you do.

Interesting, at least. I don't know if it's robust enough or has enough "been around the block" time for the purposes of PL, but it's definitely something I'll look into for other projects. I appreciate the link, Fluff.

There's also an app, Forums. It works.

And yay for mobile version.

I view these forums through my iPhone, it's definitely compacted for a mobile device but the main bulk of the webpage is standard size made tiny, oh my eyes 0_0
