Charles, why do you say that? Have you ever used an application on your phone for a forum to even see how much nicer it makes the experience? Much easier to see the and respond to posts. Why the hate of forum apps?

By the way the time on your server is wrong. The posts are showing up an hour behind.

The time is set in your User Control Panel.

I don't hate forum apps; I just don't want to risk a problem. I realize no website is secure, but doesn't mean I should throw caution to the wind.

When Tap-A-Talk was first requested, I researched it and found numerous reports of major problems. It had a major security vulnerability and a lot of phpBB and vBulletin sites were hacked because of Tap-A-Talk. I realize TAT claims the problem has been resolved, but why take the risk? Perhaps I don't understand fully what an app would do, but as others have shown in this thread, if the goal is to have a single button on the home screen to take you to the Forum, that can already be done. I was able to do it, with a little help, and what I don't know about iPhones would fill volumes!

I've also read complaints about TAT including advertising when it's used. As everyone knows, the Forum is completely non-commercial and I'm not about to let an unrelated company profit from our community.

Again, I'm not against apps, I just don't want 1) potential security vunerability; and 2) advertising added to the Forum.
