ForumRunner Now available to use with The Rugby Forum

[Getofmeland]

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!

It looks like there have been changes to the profiles as well, where can we view the reputation now Getofmeland?

So how is this different/better than Tapatalk?

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

It's not better or worse than Tapatalk, just an extra feature. Not everyone has Tapatalk. Now TRF is also accessible through Forum Runner

Thats fair enough, I just wondered if I should stick with what I have or change

 

[TRF_heineken]

What about us Blackberry users?

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

It's not our fault you have a Blackberry

I'm presuming this is kind of connected but how do we view people's rep with this new layout?

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

You can't. ForumRunner and Tapatalk are applications that make it easier to browse forums on a smartphone. They simplify the lay-out and only show the things necessary. If you want the other features, like vBookie, Repuration etc., you will have to browse the desktop version of the website when using your smartphone's browser.

I mean on the normal computer sorry should have clarified. As the layout of the forum has changed I presumed it had sometthing to do with this and didn't want to start a new thread.

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Reputation is still active, vBookie still is, just the buttons on the navigation-bar are missing but we will try to sort that out ASAP

Great cheers.
