What is the advantage of this software? I'm on my iPhone right now, and daily write on the forums from my phone. Whenever other forums mention tapawhatever I just always hit cancel in annoyance, so I've never seen it in action.
Yeah, it basically makes the activity of using forums on a small mobile screen a lot more pleasant. No need to tap/zoom and hope the lines wrap correctly, really good image handling, etc.
As it stands now, browsing the Arcen forums on my mobile means having to tap/zoom to see the thread titles, clicking on one, tap/zooming again to read the actual thread but having to scroll left/right to see who wrote a particular post, etc. And even then, when you get to the bottom of a page the numbers you need to tap on to go to the next page of a thread are incredibly tiny - I usually have to zoom in even further (which is involves a two finger 'stretch' zoom rather than a simple double-tap) so that my big ol' thumb can hit the correct page number.
Plus all your subscribed threads a grouped together on a separate tab, etc so it just an overall easier experience for the user.
tigersfan - I wasn't suggesting this was one of those 'downtimes' (does Arcen even have those?
) - just that I was stuck at the airport yesterday and the frustration of browsing this forum on my phone (compared to other forums like quartertothree which use tapatalk) was enough to prompt me to revive this old thread.
I'm not trying to make a big deal about it (I've survived this long without it!) but thought I'd raise the question again in the hopes that it might be a simple process to plug it in.
