char Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Sorry if it's been covered but be good if there was an app for the forum. Some others use things like Tapatalk but not sure if there's something that could be used here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradox Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Hi @char. Welcome to the forum. An app is something that we are looking into, and Tapatalk has been looked at although we have concerns about how the platform used for this forum would interact.The IPB software that we are using was chosen after trialling it, mainly by mobile because of how easy it was to use and configure.We are constantly looking at ways to improve the forum, so please keep the suggestions coming.Is there a forum or feature that you would like to see? Please let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let us know.Have you spoken to Milos Drizzle at all? He and I did a wee bit of work on a multi-forum Tapatalk app which basically looked and functioned exactly the same as the dot.net app. Issues with Tapatalk and multi-forum use meant it never panned out as intended, but I wonder if it could be applied to this place?

Paradox Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Yeah we have spoken to him briefly already.We're just not sure how compatible the two are at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Given that the site works so well on Safari, and Im guessing on Google Chrome on Android, is there a huge need for an app?I would like to see a weblogo thing for my bookmark to make the site more easily identifiable.

SanguinePar Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Yeah we have spoken to him briefly already.We're just not sure how compatible the two are at the moment.Ah fair enough - yeah, I just tried opening TPC on a beta version if that app, and it didn't work. Would be awesome if it did though.Don't get me wrong, you guys have done a FANTASTIC job makingng this site mobile compatible, it must be like night and day for folks used to using dot.net on mobile but without the app. But I loved being able to customise EVERYTHING about it, from colours to text size to app behaviour and so on. That's part of the reason why I tended to still use dot.net all the time, not long after joining TPC.Probably not top priority, I know, but just my tuppence worth. Thanks for all the effort that's gone into this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parzionale Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Hi @Vinnie . Was it this method you used? "If you are using Apple's Safari browser, go to ThePars.Club forum list and hit 'SHARE' from your settings drop down. A few icons will appear including thepars.club icon with an 'Add to Home Screen' option. Press this and it should add thepars.club icon to your home screen. Much like this (Screeny is android, but previous tests have confirmed it works on Apple devices too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Just tried. Doesnt quite work in the way you mention Parzionale.The icon is a screen grab of the page Im looking at the time. Or maybe I just need to tinker? Cheers though, I have a start point to mess and work from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parzionale Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Let me know how you get on @Vinnie.The more issues we can rectify from troubleshooting this, the better for everyone. Thanks mate. I'll also do some more testing/researching the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Cheers! Just whilst Im trying this, if I try to save a bookmark in Safari, the box is simply a big "F" for "Forums - Pars Club Forums - The Independent Fans Forum"! That has been editted and is now "P" as in "Pars Club".If I save to my home screen, the icon is an image of the page I saved, which is the forum list. I cant add an icon on the bookmark list on Safari, I can only edit the name I save under. If I save the icon to my home screen, it changes image to the last page I read. Hopefully thats useful to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parzionale Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 So hitting share in Safari browser while on the forum lists doesn't bring up the add to home screen option?It should look like the following screenshot only with TheParsClub icon.

Vinnie Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 There is an option to add to home screen, but the icon isnt a Pars Club logo, its simply a screenshot of the page. And that screenshot changes to your last page view if you return home. Although that pic is an old iOS version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
