Browse G45Central on your iPhone, Android, iPad etc

[bosshoss]

There is an app available to allow you to browse G45Central on your iPhone or other mobile device. It costs $1.99 (or $2.49 depending on who-knows-what?)
You can read all about it here :

and purchase it here:
Get Forum Runner Full Version from App Store

or a free trial version here
Get Forum Runner Free Version from App Store

I don't have an iPhone*, so I really have no idea how it works or what it does. But it sounds good. G45Central has been upgraded to publish all our content to the ForumRunner app as of now. Our icon should appear within the iPod app somehow.

*maybe I'll have to get one now

Done, this is being posted from my iphone !!!!

And this from my iPad. The app link automatically popped up when I tried to access G45 but I don't know if it was a required purchase in order to acces the Forum. I bought it just in case.

Yes I think the site won't work on iPhones or iPads without the app.

I got the app and it works a treat for me. So much quicker.

Regarding speed - one member has reported that the new forum works much faster under Internet Explorer 8, than it does with version 7.

I've got no problems with Mozilla Firefox.
As The Mirror once sang "Faster Than Light"

The Forum works about the same speed for me with Firefox, or my iphone.

what's a iphone?...what's a ipad???...what's a app? :confused:

On the mobile app you can't see MTMs comments.....thought he might like to know

I like to keep a low profile....

 

[jprackets]

Damn, that's actually worth coming back for. Nice new digs by the way.

That's a bit odd. I have checked all MTM's permissions, and they are all in order. No different to anyone else.

 

[Shakesomeaction]

It might be the type set he is using?

 

[MopTopMike]

You know me, I wasn't born to follow (rejectin' the default typeset option!)

This kicks ass!

Ditto - I can't see MTM's comments either. Everyone else appears just fine.

 

[MopTopMike]

Not sure why that would be, I haven't adjusted anything other than not choosing the default font. If this post shows up, it must be a malfunction somewhere with text formatting

I can see this post, so hopefully it's resolved going forward.

 

[bosshoss]

Yes. I see the same situation, where MTM's latest post is visible but his earlier ones are not. I think I can explain.
The Forum Runner software works by creating a super-compact stripped-down version of the normal forum, and feeding it to iPhones and iPads via a separate internet server. It strips out non-essential elements of the messageboard, to make it easier for iphones to cope with the upload. It also re-formats the output so that it can be read on the tiny iPhone screen. Obviously they must regard custom fonts as non-essential elements.

Pity their software can't just convert the custom font messages into the default font. I will suggest this to them via their website.
