Just a thought... I don't know if it would benefit anyone but myself.

I travel a lot and don't always have access to my computer here at home, but would love to be on the forum. I've gotten on here a few times with the browser on my phone, but that's just annoying. I think Funzio should create an app for this forum that would simplify creating posts, and adding to others.

I have done this with my companies extranet forum, and it works out great!!!

Would this benefit anyone else?

I view the forum 90% of the time on my iPhone and it is quite annoying. Half the time when I try to open a thread it mistakes me for trying to open the OP's profile.

+1 for a nice idea...but what we really need, I think, is simply a web template optimised for mobile devices?

You're right... that would probably be a lot easier on the developers, and therefore a greater chance of it getting done. It's easy to add the link to my homescreen!

vBulletin offers mobile options directly:

https://www.vbulletin.com/index.php?do=mobile

There is a vBulletin app, but it's basically a proof of concept that only connects to their own site so that the user can see what the interface looks like:
