This forum now supports Android and the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad natively with Forum Runner!

What is Forum Runner?

Forum Runner is an Android/iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad App that allows you to browse this forum using a native client. This means faster access for those users since it only downloads the actual forum information rather than all the extraneous images that slow down the mobile connection.

Forum Runner Feature List

Browse your favorite forums in an easy-to-use-interface with multiple notification types (private message, subscription, etc)
Fully customizable home screen with your favorite forums
PUSH NOTIFICATION SUPPORT : Get private message and subscribed thread updates from your favorite forums in the background!
Poll updates (private messages/subscriptions) from favorites on home screen - shows you a summary of which forums you have new messages or subscriptions on!
Image attachment thumbnail and full size viewing from threads
View a thread's image attachments in one convenient screen (much like the native iPhone "Photo" app)
Save thread images to your iPhone/iPod touch library
Fully search-able forums!
View embedded links without leaving the app, including YouTube videos
Supports portrait AND landscape mode
Full posting options (quote posts, start new thread, etc)
Attach unlimited photos from your library (or take a photo from the camera and attach it)
Full support for private messages and private message folders
Full support for thread subscriptions - track your favorite threads and be updated via push when they have new posts!

Holla! It works and its super fast! Undecided to fet the paid version because 1.99 isn't much and I wanted all the features. So much better than the browser! I hope u all will get it.

Thank you three for trying this out. So far it sounds good!

I know many of our members lurk our site via phones, I hope now these members will have a far better experience via Forum Runner, and post up a storm!

Something tells me contest coverage is gonna be taken to a new level thanks to Forum Runner. Just a prediction.

**TanyaB** · #10 07-03-2011, 12:42 AM

This looks easier than the other one you posted! I'm trying it too

Yep. I've been on it for about an hour now and it has good features. Like right now, I'm quoting (just figured out how) . I do hope this makes contest threads take off as we have a lot of peeps at the shows

I'm sure it will come in handy for many. Its only $2 to download.

I hope it's much better. I had to plug it in here, unlike the one you tried.

There is a free version too but the paid version is great. Easily worth the $2 imo.

**TanyaB** · #14 07-03-2011, 01:04 AM

Yep I like it much better than the other one and it was $1 cheaper! Being able to see new posts and going right to the last page alone is worth it.

I have the full version as well. I see my productivity at work plummeting.

I bought the full version of Forum Runner for my Android phone and it is awesome! However, I can't view any pictures. Just shows up as gray squares.

I have a Google generation G2 phone from T-mobile. Anyone know how to cure this problem!?????! xoxo

Im not sure! That sucks. I can see pics and I have HTC inspire with Android 2.2 OS.
At first I see a gray box but if I wait a few seconds it becomes a thumbnail that I click on to enlarge.
