BKA Forum on the iPhone

Postby beeky » Wed May 12, 2010 11:46 am

I've updated the forum so it can now be used easily with the Apple iPhone and iPhone Touch. You could always use it anyway through Safari, but had to pinch and zoom in order to view it properly. There's now an app which does away with that called TouchBB and I've just made the BKA forum compatible with it. It should also be faster as all data transmitted is optimised for mobile connections.

You will need to download the app from http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=317752610&mt=8. Opening this link should automatically open iTunes providing you with the download link. I believe the fee for the app is only 59p.

Once the app is opened you need to enter the forum details. These are entered by choosing the 'Account' option and then 'Add' followed by 'Add your own forum'.
Access URL: bka.org.uk/forum/touchbb.php
Username and password are your normal forum ones.
Once entered click save. The details are verified and if entered correctly you should now see the forum listed with a tick next to it showing it is the active forum.

I don't believe there's a View New Posts option yet but that's coming.

If you managed to use it let me know. I don't have an iPhone so can't test it!

Cheers,
Graham
