Storm2k Blackberry Access

#1 Postby SouthFLTropics » Tue Jun 09, 2009 10:46 am

Is there a mobile web site for Storm2k that I can access with my Blackberry? What about mobile hurricane tracking software for my Blackberry? Thanks for your help...

I'm curious as well, although for my iphone. It would be nice just to have a mobile version of this site.

It should work ok on the iphone through Safari. I have accessed the site through my iPod touch several times, when I didn't have my laptop. It wasn't ideal because of the size but it should render correctly. (please note to the admins don't ever add FLASH)

The size problem won't be problem on the iPad.

That is what I like about the iPhone/Touch is the great rendering of websites on the Mobile Safari as long as it doesn't have any Flash.

I get on and post from my Droid all the time. I just use the default browser. I've heard that Safari and a few others are good, but I haven't tried another one yet.

I don't know how much work is involved in making a Storm2k mobile site, but I'll mention to the technical geniuses. Currently, I just zoom in a little and it works great.

I downloaded the Dolphin browser on my droid..works great and you can have multiple tabs so it's better than the default one...

Would the Forum owner consider installing the tapatalk application plugin? It is a forum app for smart phones but requires a small (free) plugin installed.

I checked it out in the Android Market, but it doesn't do any good to download it unless we get it on the forum. I'm not sure how to get it on here though, Marshall, but I'll try to check it out.

I do think it would be cool to have, if we can install it. Currently, I have to constantly zoom in on each new page I open and tapatalk looks sweet!

I think it requires creating an account on the Forum Owner tab. Once you log in it will show the information and phpBB3 is in the drop down. I downloaded the zip. its pretty small.

I have used it on the camaroZ28.com forums and its pretty good. I have the free version of the client so I havent posted with it.

Thanks for considering it!

The issue may be that we're on an older version of phpBB3. Unfortunately I can't risk upgrading it until after the season.
