especially handy if you need to look up something in a pinch while working on the car.

 

Definetely down for a mobile version of AZ. The full version gives a hell of a beating to my iPod.

It must be pretty hard to make a mobile version of a forum as big as AZ though, isn't it?

 

 

We needed this

 

azine site is already mobile, specially now. works perfectly fine on my blackberry. unless u guys are asking for an app.

 

According to , they are currently working on a mobile version.

 

How will we know when its done? Will it be mentioned here or somewhere else.

 

im into it. most of the time i spend on AZ is on my iphone... it would be easier to click tiny buttons and look for DIY while you work on car this is should be priority

 

Tapatalk works fairly well...or if you upgrade the forum to current Vbulletin systems (I think they are on 4.07 now) I understand they mesh with mobile phones fairly well right out of the box.

 

Can't imagine it will be that hard for them to port over as they are already working on one over at club lexus. It works OK. Loads a little bit faster cause of smaller pictures however I have never really had much issue loading it normally on my Droid either. Once problem I have noticed with the mobile version though is there is no way to quote posts.

 

I still feel that implementing a HTML/CSS mobile solution may be the easiest route to go. No need to make an app when you have very strong web browsers on all the popular mobile platforms. And with HTML5 just around the corner, may be the easiest way to go.

 

Just a mobile version of the site.

Don't get me wrong...I would kill for an AZ app, but a mobile version of the site would be great. Not that AZ doesn't work on internet capable mobile phones, it would just be much easier with a mobile version instead of having to zoom in to see/get to and click links, etc.

I'm guessing you know what we mean by having a mobile site that auto redirects from www.acurazine.com on a mobile phone, vs an app....

 

I should get around to adding that over there today.

 

Mobil skin.... http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=174375

That or just upgrade to 4.x series.....I am hearing that displays very nicely on mobil phones right out of the box.

 

lol, michael, michael. 4.x is not usable for a site like this.
also, you need to realize that we do not, and can not add individual add ons to our sites. We run the same platform on ALL of our sites, so that we can make global changes if/when necessary. Adding things on an individual site basis, only complicates our upgrade path down the road. We have learned from years of doing it the wrong way, that this is not tenable

 

Ah....makes sense! Didnt consider migrating those changes across the boards!

Now so far as upgrading to 4.x series....I am suprised they havent done that already. But obviously thats a fairly large undertaking when you are talking multiple sites that may share databases or membership, ect.

Honestly.....add ons, while easy, can be a bit of a PITA at the same time. Simple ones not so much...but the more they alter the more conflicts that can arise with the base software. And troubleshooting those can often make one want to DIAF!

I will stop though...I can tell I am being a PITA and that wasnt my intial intent at all.

 

After using Tapatalk for a couple of days, I need this in my life.

 

Still willing to send in my one dollar if needed... Just saying...

 

YES! I was about to start a thread about this.
I use my phone to control my home computer... then use AZ.
iPhone safari is ok, Opera for iPhone on AZ is horrible.
I think you can get a vB site add-on/theme for phone use...

 

Running this on my Blackberry is like a PITA...lolz I don't know how you guys can stand it. On the iPhone it's fine but using the search is a pain hahaha.

 

Search is rough... :P
Opera is unusable...

 

Same. Please don't make an app. Just enable Tapatalk.

 

Quit using your phones and use a computer Thats what i do.

 

Sorry guys, the only thing I am sure of is that we will not install tapatalk here. There is a vB app in the alpha stages right now.

 

 

an app would be good

 

The site has become unusable at times on iOS Safari.

And I don't get wasting time on a specific app.

 

astro my biggest issue with browsing while mobile is the window formatting.

For some reason the top navigation bar bleeds over the forum post towards the right. this makes it very hard to scroll up and down because my phone tries to scroll to the right when auto zooming.

pic because my explanation is gibberish.

 

^^ that is normal, menubar is a set width...

I do have a beta version of a vB app on my iPhone right now...

 

^ Care to share?

 

I follow a bmw forum web site also.

they just came out with an iPhone app
seems to work pretty good
check it out here

This is AcuraZine, not Bimmerpost.

 

^ I think he knows that.

Astro, will the AZ mobile site be similar to what crxb posted?

 

as said before V



but then again i went for durability on my phone instead of features (ie: i can spill shit on it, and just wash it off at the sink, shake it kinda dry, and off i go [verizons rock])

 

booo...i wants to see it in my android phone

 

Right off my control panel....from back on Nov 15th

vBulletin iPhone app is available to test!
Late last week we released our first version of our native iPhone application on vBulletin.com.
The app can be downloaded from here: http://www.vbulletin.com/go/iphoneapp
We would appreciate any of your feedback on the app.


Personally...I would just wait. Its going to be built into the program here fairly soon I would imagine.

 

Updates?

 

 

AZ is #2 in line for an app. It's nice, but it's not as good as the Bimmerpost one, that thing is OUTSTANDING.

 

So, it's going to be an iPhone app not a mobile version?


Will possibly up my contribution to two dollars for mobile.acurazine.com. Possibly.
