Suggestion: AF app or at least a mobile version of the forum

I don't know whether it can be done but if it can, why don't you make an AF app for all mobile platforms (Windows 8.1 Phone included)? Visiting the forum through a smartphone makes reading the forum an almost impossible task, let a lone loggin' in. The last time I tried to log in, the forum said my password and username are wrong. And they're not wrong because this is how I log in from my PC and they work flawlessly, so I read it as a guest.
Or, if it's related to too much expense, can you at least make a mobile version of the forum?

There is a mobile version of the forum. It should automatically put you to the mobile version when visiting from a mobile device, but you might have changed your settings. Try this:
User CP > Edit Options > Tick the box "Use a mobile version if I visit from a mobile device?"
If you're looking for an app, try Tapatalk.

I find the forum to be pretty easy to navigate. I think it automatically sends me to a mobile version. Maybe it doesn't work on Windows phones because they're dumb

My Windows 8.1 phone loads the mobile version automatically, and it's a decent if imperfect navigation tool.

I use the mobile theme of this site all the time, and it works damn well. If you don't like that, you can try tapatalk app.

You really don't wanna go there or both of us will end up banned for a long time.

That option is enabled but since the forum didn't accept my pwd and username, I couldn't login, so the forum couldn't identify me in order to enable the mobile version.

ANDROID MASTER RACE NYEAAAAARGH
Sorry, nervous habit. How big's your screen? I get by ok on normal mode on my 5-incher (ladies) which I usually use since it has more functionality.
Also, just asking for the 800th time...when are we getting alerts on mobile mode again?!

On my droid, the mobile theme works pretty well.
Sure, there are a couple of things missing, but for most of thread browsing it's god enough.
I'm using the Dolphin browser, the only one that does tabs like I like them and has the best night-mode (of all that I've tested) AND I can select where to download things (porn shouldn't mingle with normal documents, people!)
It seems it doesn't exist for windows... but maybe one of the alternatives?

EDIT;
Btw, 4.7", 720p, PENTILE screen (I know, I know.... not as good as a proper RGB, but it's good enough for this resolution)

I can't stand the mobile version and taptalk isn't much better. I don't think I could be active on here if it wasn't work my work desktop Last night when I posted summin and got a bunch of replies I wanted to throw my phone.

I use tapatalk for notifications, and now for posting pictures. I rarely ever post and definitely don't browse from it. The mobile version is okay, but I have to switch out for most mod stuff.
You can take a picture in the Tapatalk app and it will host the image and put the img tags in there for you automatically, all in one click. You can also select pictures from storage. The notifications is what I really have it for. I get a push notification any time someone quotes me, types @ SteelCurtain, posts in certain threads, or if ForumBot posts anywhere.
