I think Ian should make one. I spend more time on CS on my iPhone than on the laptop nowadays and from the 'what phone' thread there are a lot of users with smartphones. Would be great to have the forum and most of the basic options avaliable in iPhone format.
What you think?

I use it on Opera on my N86 and have no issues using the site as it is. I can do everything I can do on my PC with it. You should just get a better phone imo.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

I really like this site on my phone because it's so simple. It loads in seconds. Some other forums I use with big stupid signatures etc just make it unbearable sometimes.

My thumbs are too fat to use the menu, but apart from that it's fine.

The webite is easily useable on the iPhone, but so is facebook, yet app is much better.
You have to have pin fingers to access the menus and threads unless your constantly zooming in an out.
Each thread could be like someones wall on FB with an open input box at the top/bottom, you just enter your post and sit submit.
Im no app desiger but im sure it could be made much simpler to use if designed specifically in phone format.

I've never browsed/posted on forums using a phone before. I might try this Tapatalk out on my phones, see what it's like (not that I actually have a need to browse forums from my phones lol).

So basically we're talking about a simple forum skin with big fonts?
I actually ripped out the theme code as I didn't want the server queries deciding what page templates to offer, so that is probably out of the question.
No reason why I couldn't knock up a few new pages at another domain or something.
Or a subdomain of one of ours. Probably better if we buy something shorter though? I'll speak to Tim about pointing m.corsasport.co.uk to somewhere else and get a index, forumdisplay, viewthread and post copied over and hacked about a bit.

Thinking beyond weather its required it not can't be many car forums that have a mobile version let alone a corsa vaux based site. Must be good for business ian
