Hi, Admins.

I was wondering if it's possible to get this forum TouchBB compatible. I have an iPhone, and what TouchBB does is basically reformats the forums and pulls certain key forum features directly into the interface...no more launching Safari, entering the URL, or having to pinch/zoom to be able to navigate or read posts or to immediately see which topics are active.  iPhone users pay 99 cents to have the app on their phones (it's not the prettiest, slickest app, but it works pretty well), and it's free for forum admins to install it.

More info available here:

Thanks for reading, and thanks for the consideration.

Wouldn't be the worst idea in the world, but it seemed from the links you gave that the app only works for "phpBB2, phpBB3, or vBulletin" forums. The Kherete forums run SMF, which is not supported yet. SMF is newer than phpBB, and just as popular, so perhaps a version will be developed in the future. If that happens, let us know and we will see about installing it, but can't in the meantime. Sorry.

[EDITED to add:] I recall seeing an smf thread on their support forums, and, yes, I believe one was in the works if not already offered as a beta. but until I can dig up more info and/or there's an official smf version out, your answer is more than fair enough. Smiley

Thanks for the quick response. Smiley

I second this idea.
