Default Mobile platform app for the forum

Moderators. After reviewing the topic in the General Discussion forum, I did some research and found that Tapatalk would be a great alternative.

This mod to vBulletin supports iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and Nokia devices. This better formats the forums on mobile devices.

Will you consider? Look into it? Laugh and pee on it?

Thanks,
Mike

Okay so what did you guys decide??

I think this would be a great addition to the site.. and its free for you!! all you do is download the plug in and boom you helped everyone on here with a Android blackberry or Iphone access the forums 1000x better.. And it doesnt affect the actual site at all..

Whats the hold up?? this is perfect I already use it for other sites and it works great..

I think the hold up for them might be integration. I'm not sure how extensive the integration of the add-on is. Maybe it's an easy add-on, or maybe it requires a lot of coding and modification...

That, and maybe picking out the moderator who wants to stay up late to do it...

Its a very simple addition...

Download the plug in, Import it, Activate it... Done!!!

It should be a 5-10 minute process according to the vbulletin website

Yeah I would love to have the forum on my BB to but I dont think its gonna happen..

Im really not understanding this.. Im willing to bet more than half the people on this site have a Iphone BB or android and would use this feature.. It doesnt cost the site a penny to install but they wont do it??
