    I'm suggesting a mobile version of the forums. I was searching on google and I found an app called Forum Runner. It can make this forum mobile if the admin installs a plugin.

    Is it worth it?

    Looks interesting. I've installed it but I don't think it will work without some hacking - our custom login system is interfering with it.

    I second this!

    Tried to use the forum with my mobile phone but couldn't even post a reply :/
    Would be a very nice of the devs to implement it!

    I've read somewhere that it takes about 5 mins to install the plugin on a phbb board or what it is called now a days :P

    "Forum Runner" sucks since users need to buy an app to be able to post stuff on the forum (the free version is read-only).
    An official XenForo mobile style is in development but this style which finally got released also looks nice.

    Really? I have absolutely no issues with the forum on my phone :huh?:

    As for the already released style illu mentioned - that is now the next thing on my to-do list (plus a mod for auto-redirecting mobile users to that style) :D

    I've just tried forum runner out - it works and its pretty nice to use actually!
    However, my login is a bit special so I expected it to work.
    Can someone else try logging in as well? There's a free version too.

    Yeah, confirmed this with others.
    I've disabled it now. I may add it again later on if I find the time to hack the login script to match ours.

    I did this.
    Now if you view the forum on your mobile, it will be much friendlier :D

    It's not a terrible layout but not great either

    Well I basscially only ever go the forums on my iPad and it's pretty close to a computer only problem is it shows the font and sizing code in it, which can be confusing :P I dont think KAG really needs an app.

    it doesn't need an app, it would just be cool and easy for on mobile phones. :) Although, that's my opinion.

    1)You can't swap out from the mobile version to default
    2)Mobile version has a few downsides, more loading shit, problems with shit on screen showing up bad.

    Are you talking about if it would be an app, or rather about the problems this moment?

    Been trying to use it for the past week... But yeah, it is too flawed to have auto-switched for now.
