First off, awesome site.  Thanks!  :0

Just a suggestion, but another forum I frequent installed the tapatalk plugin so that iPhone, Blackberry, Android and Nokia phones can easily read and post on the board.  If you've never heard of it, check it out:  http://www.tapatalk.com/  They support SMF with a plug in and it makes the site 100% compatible with smart phones.

I just recently found Tapatalk and would also like to see BYOAC implement it.  So I might as well bump this post!

I just set it up on my own SMF forums, and its really easy to do.

My phone now asks me if I want to install TapATalk every time I go to this site.  Is that an option you can set from the server?

Does the forum load slow in tapatalk for everyone else? The first time I open it, it takes about 2-3 minutes for all the threads to load

Dunno. There's not really anything to customize or tweak. It's a very small mod. I'll poke around though.

I've had better results using board express. It's a reader that is compatible with tapatalk. Dunno if it's available on platforms other than windows phone though.
