Techkings Now Supports Tapatalk and ForumRunner- iPhone, Android and Blackberry Users

[HiTeck]

We have been running Tapatalk for a few months now but after interest from Linny and a couple of other members I have also now installed Forum Runner.We are making these available not to force users to use them, but to allow them the choice should they wish to access Techkings in this method. We will endeavour to keep on top of any updates to the core software, allowing for any and all new features as they are published.

Tapatalk Features:

Tapatalk is a mobile forum app for iPhone / Android and soon to be on Blackberry and Nokia. Tapatalk supports vBulletin (3.x and 4.x) and phpBB forums and forum owner can activate this service for free. Tapatalk supports all the usual forum functions plus full screen image viewing, image upload, caching (less reload), private messaging, all these features are accessible in just a few simple taps.

What is Forum Runner?

Forum Runner is a iPhone App that allows you to browse this forum using a native iPhone 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 favourite 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 FOR iPHONE/VBULLETIN : 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!

BUT you need 1

Well its showing up on my iphone on forum runner, but i only have the free version so cant post.But i can view the forum and most of its contents. Far easier than typing in the address and trying to pinch it to read whats going on. Its far more clearer on forum runner Will have to upgrade to the paid version as its only £1.19 ans tapatalk is £1.79
|Just checking the tapatalk now

[Linny40]

[wheelo]

Excellent, im still not buying an iphone though

You going shoplifting axxxo??? I have no need for one either, i am clumsy with my current phone, so couldn't justify spending so much on a phone.

[HiTeck]

Both Forum Runner and Tapatalk have been brought up to date, if you have any problems or think the upgrade has benefited us, feel free to let us know.

time for me to get using forum runner, been on my iPhone for months and not been used

looks quite cool... and yeh it was free for me Linny.. no payment required

[Linny40]

I must admit i use Forum Runner a lot so i can keep up whilst out n a bout. Olny think with it is you can click the like thanks button and do get lots of "jargon" when people us smilies or add photos - you cant see them without clicknig the link. BUT it keeps you intouch and upto date with whats going on - thats the main thing!

I've been using Forum Runner since Linny mentioned it elsewhere, and outside of smilie jargon, i'm rather pleased with it. It's a nice way to keep up with things going on here whilst i'm on the move.

A nice addition for our happy little forums, well done HT.
