Title says it: This site needs a mobile version. Heck, my own blog at blogspot has a mobile version. And BF is really hard on an iPhone. How can i continue to feed my addiction if you won't help.

Make a promise. Commit! Have it done by next week, OK?
You know you want to, you know you need to.

That would be nice. Has anyone tried Tap-a-talk? It is an app that is supposed to work with multiple forums.

I just checked:
"* Tapatalk works with vBulletin, phpBB, IPBoard, Simple Machine Forums, xenForo, MyBB, Kunena and WBB forum system, covering 99% of forum systems worldwide"

Is this forum one of those?

I just looked at the source and it appears to be running
vBulletin 4.0.8


Let us know if you give it a try

There was another thread on this (actually several). The BF staff/ownership doesn't like something about Tapatalk and won't be using it. They claim a security issue, my guess is that it has to do with advertising.

They did claim that they were working on a mobile app or version of the site and that it would be out before last Christmas...well obviously that didn't happen. Tom has been claiming that they have been working on it since 2010. Um...it just doesn't take this long to write software these days. And IMO is foolish to duplicate work that has already been done...WELL.
