Using our forum with an iPhone or Android device with the stock browser can be a little tedious at times granted. Well they aren't as fast as the standard browser you get on your PC at home, probably due to the images we have on the forum which may take some time to download at times.
This is where we welcome "Tapatalk", a great app that's available on both iPhone and Android devices (and Blackberry soon, might I add). Anyway, Initial testing on my device "HTC Hero" has been a great success even if there were a few little issues getting the forum mod installed. Viewing the threads is super fast in comparison to the standard browser so for me, its absolutely great having an app that renders the feeds so quickly while im on the move.
This hasn't been tested on the iPhone yet, so im interested in getting some feedback either via the dedicated board in the forum titled Tapatalk, or if you want to PM me via Xbox live "AndyGreenwood23"
Just like the site, you dont have to be a member of the forum to browse the threads.
Android users, There are 2 x Apps:
1 - "Tapatalk" which is free and basically a demo version. So you can browse our threads and posts in the forum to your hearts content. But thats about it.
2 - "Tapatalk Pro - Forum Client" is a version you have to pay for. Its $2.99 which in UK £'s is next to nothing anyway. In this version you can Login/Out, Add new posts, add new topics, modify posts.
iPhone Users, There are also 2 apps for you:
1 - "Tapatalk RO" RO meaning Read Only just like the standard Tapatalk for Andriod.
2 - "Tapatalk Pro - Forum Client for PHPbb, iBoards and SMF" This is the full version where you can login to the forum, add pictures to posts start new threads and so on. The cost of this is a small £1.79.
If you would like to see what the app will look like on the iPhone or Android, click here:

NEW REGISTRATION MOD ENABLES IMMEDIATE ACTIVATION TO FORUM
For a while now, becoming a member of our small community forum has been a pain in the backside for some. Spammers had left us with no choice but to think about our current members and unwillingly almost push away new members.
Basically, I get an email everytime a new member signs up to our forum and since we moved to activating accounts manually I simply haven't been able to keep up with new membership requests (due to my daily work and the fact that I have not had a working PC for over a month). Anyway, I worked through the night to introduce a small change to the registration screen. You can check this out when your not signed into the forum by clicking on the "Registration" link, we now have a great google app called reCaptcha. Its not a couple of fuzzy pictures that spam bots can figure out easily and the amount of 2 word pics are never ending.
So fingers crossed, no more spammers, safer community and new members can activate their account immediately.
Happy Gaming
SiteAdmin :)
