Forum Runner plugin

[Krestent]

It's a pain to be on GBATemp while on the iPhone and iPod Touch. There's an app (Forum Runner) available that allows you to browse a forum, but it requires a plugin to be installed on the server. From the official site:

What Is It?

Forum Runner is a vBulletin and phpBB forum add-on that allows your users to access your forum at blazing fast speeds by using a native application installed on their mobile phone or iPad device.


How Much Does It Cost?

Forum Runner is FREE for forum owners to install on your forums and get listed in our database! Your users can then either use the read-only version available in the iTunes App Store, or can purchase the full version for a one-time cost of $1.99. You will find that the Forum Runner app has more features and is cheaper than any competitor. We are constantly adding new features to the app daily and you can communicate directly with our engineers via our Support Forums.

Who thinks it's a good idea?

Well, I have seen a few people here posting that they're doing it from a mobile device, I assume a few more would be willing to if it was nice and fast, but whether it's worth the trouble to the admins here, I'm not sure.

Well, let's see what the admins think.

It says there that it's a vBulletin and phpBB add-on, and GBAtemp is IPB...

^^ lol.

Perhaps Gordinio thinks they should change to vBulletin or phpBB for his plugin?

There are possible plans to switch to vBulletin, after all GBAtemp already has had a test installation/migration and owns licenses for several extensions.
However, there is a similar plugin available for IPB.

There would no need for any plugins if only there was a decent IPB Mobile theme
