Whats are the different methods of viewing GBAtemp from a mobile device? Heres what ive come up with.

EDIT: Ok tapatalk
-works great
-was free for a day so I grabbed it. Or maybe its free for now. I dont know.
-handles everything like i asked.
-the only thing i cant seem to get are "notifications" like the full site. I cant see if someone quoted me or anything. or liked my posts.

Seems to be the official plugin for mobile xenforo. Is it free or what? Why dont we have this?

Through a default browser
-On Android, you can easily do it, but my phone is bigger than most (Razr HD) but you still have to zoom in to read posts. When posting, the screen zooms in unnecessarily, and makes it hard to work with. Sigs take up SO much room its insane, and there is no way to just "ignore sigs" like IPB.
-Home screen is un-rearrangable, at least for me, or maybe im doing something wrong.
-Alerts are a hassle, because the browser version, they are "mouse over, drop down". on mobile, you have to tap and wait, and i usually miss, going to the search panel.

Are there "Forum" viewing apps that support Xenofro? I know IPB V4 used to be view able with the Tapatalk, but i remember the app being garbage and NOT FREE. I think there was another one... "Forum Runner" or something for XF, but i dont know about that one either. Then again we had mobile skins for GBAtemp back then too. soo.

Is there a mobile skin in the works? Or is my best bet to be going with a forum viewer app?

What would be even better, is if someone (staff or otherwise), could code a GBAtemp app. I know that requires time, effort, and know how, and lots of people have little of that.

Tapatalk free? Link please?

Mobile skin would be great, the only reason id love to see an app, is to i can get notification from GBAtemp on my phone.

Yea this site is annoying to use on the go, my blackberry hates it and runs out of memory errors if I have JavaScript enabled on the site with it though I think it's blackberrys browser on os6 that causes it as the phone is not out of memory when that happens.

My iPhone is ok on safari with the temp but some options are a pain to use like alerts and opera mini crashes often on the temp :(

Well your problem is probably that you are using a blackberry :P no its a mobile eyesore from anywhere really, but tapatalk seems to have fixed most everything for me.

Ok so heres the problem im experiencing. On the Tapatalk, I get "alerted" when someone responds to a topic am following, but not when i get likes or quoted. Is there something im doing wrong? Thats kind central to keeping on top of my discussions I would like to be part of.

Also, can someone on the staff look at the link that I and pshswind or whoever posted about Xenforo's mobile package. Does that cost something? Or is our forum too customized to do that? Whats the deal, cause GBAtemp is a wreck on mobile.

A mobile theme was the first thing I asked for when the site was last revamped. Posted once a week or so for a while looking for updates until I finally gave up... I bought the Tapatalk app forever ago but didn't care much for the interface. Just been viewing the full site on my iPhone for the past few months...

Actually there is, in the preferences.
But you probably won't need to know what since you switched over to Tapatalk.
Ooh, I mean I did see that. I don't want to ignore all sigs, with IPB we had the option to ignore specific members and specific sigs. I'm not using tapTalk exclusively either, a majority still happens laptop side.

oh you poor thing. Well id like to push again, seeing as there is a lreadily available pluggin for use, we just don't have it. And not having a proper way to check notifications through tapTalk is killing me.

Problem is when they enable that annoying plugin it also becomes an advertisement for taptalk :/ (if you dont have it and you try to get into the forum it tells you that this site uses tapatalk and a link to there app) a generalized mobile version too at least would help
