Rebelscum.com now supports Forum Runner

[Grahame]

This should please a lot of people - As of VBulletin 4.1.12 we now support Forum Runner for mobile access to the Rebelscum.com Forums. I've used Forum Runner on other sites and I've found it to be very functional and easy to use. Let me know what you think!

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!

Grahame, works great. Very smooth and streamlined. Easy access to threads, messages, etc.

No concerns as of yet.

Thanks for your efforts.

Fantastic. Much better. Thank you for keeping this on the radar and implementing it when a suitable solution arose.

Much appreciated.

ah, cool. I tried the forum out last night on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet and kept on getting redirected. Thanks for the head's up!

Actually read reviews on the android market and it wasn't kind to that app + there are in-app ads. I'm looking at TapaTalk forum app - has nearly a perfect rating and 24K people have that app.

The in-app ads are ours, and we're using Forum Runner because it's now built into VBulletin rather than being a 3rd party add-in.

God, tell me about it, I was complaining about that in the other forum issues thread with no response from anyone in charge....

Interesting, I wonder what it is about the Android browser that is causing that issue....can't replicate it on any other browser I try.
