ive only been apart of this forum for a little while now but its brilliant!, trouble is im always on the move so sitting down at the laptop tends to end up being last thing at night when really i should be sleeping i think it would be a great idea for an app to be made for this site,

who agrees with me??

I'd like an iPhone app, but obviously that's because I have an iPhone. I'm doing software development at uni but I doubt I'd be much use at the moment. I know C#, C and C++ though but I think the app would have to be Java for Android and iPhone would have to be objective C I believe :angry:

or tapatalk, an app that's available on both platforms that makes forums fit better to the screen of a smart phone, and as easy to use as the full forum on windows based computers

aye, not sure if this version of the forum suffers the same problem as the old version would have in regards to Tapatalk?

I don't really have much of a problem with the forum on my S3 using Chrome for Android.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
