I, along with other forum users would love it if you took this to the App Store or Android Market for our smartphones. It would be so much easier and convienant to just open it on our phones instead of going to Safari or opening it up on our computers. I imagine activity would increase because the App Store was the first place I went to look for a Titanfall forum. I imagine other people are doing the same. Please make this happen. It would be greatly appreciated and if it's not possible, no biggy. This is still a great forum and I'll still continue to use it. Thanks!
Glad you're loving the site, @Rambotiger! As far as converting what we have onto the mobile platform, I'm not sure how feasible it may be. @WhoIsDo does pretty much all of the back-end stuff that we don't get to see (regular users, Elite Pilots, etc) so this would definitely be a question better suited for him. However, my guess is that the ability to expand a mobile platform would be dependent on the support from the creator of the site itself. Not necessarily any member of staff, but the person who wrote the code for the site to begin with. I would like to see, perhaps one day, the luxury of being able to view the site on mobile without opening a web browser. Until then, I'm uncertain if those plans are something we could look forward to.
Sure thing! I tagged @WhoIsDo (and one more for good measure ) so he'll be able to see this post. If he's not too busy he can probably give you a better answer than I could.
Making this into an app is a lot more difficult than you might imagine, haha. As a tip though, you can save the website's homepage as a shortcut on your iPhone or Android-based phone, and easily access the mobile site that way.
I have it bookmarked on my phone and I can get to it rather easily and I understand it would be difficult to convert it to an app, too much for my mind to comprehend lol but Bungie made an app for their forum and with the release of Destiny near, hundreds and thousands have joined the forums including myself clamoring over their game. Posts are created and replied to every single minute. Their forum is always active now. I'm not saying you have to be like them. I'm just saying it'd be beneficial and more convienant.
Don't get me wrong, it's something that I want to have. It requires a good amount of money to have a good one developed, however. It's definitely on my wish list, but there are quite a few things that need to be done & happen before we hit that point.
I understand completely and cannot wait til that day comes! Hopefully it's in the near future and I still happen to be on the forum! Again, thanks for your insight and assistance.
I personally love the interface and the visuals on this site. Browsing it on mobile mode would strip it down of its awesome graphics! lol elitist pc master race complex Though I'm used to browsing my regular forums on Tapatalk. No idea how making the TF community available to that, though.
Its so easy to just use the Twitter integration & open the link via WI-FI & it is exactly how I opened this very posting so don't try tell me its too difficult, the One thing you seem to forget is that this Community is World Wide, I've personally got Buddies on here that are in Australia, & the US whereas I'm in the UK& we can communicate no problem as things are so why would anyone go to the expense of writing an App for ALL the Different Operating systems, (Windows Phone 8, Android & iOS) when quite simply all I can really say is "If It Isn't Broke, Why Fix It?" The way this Forum is working just now is Exceptional, as if anyone finds a Problem all you need to do is send a Tweet & the Team is right on it & before you realise it (Perfect Example is I couldn't access the Forum on Sunday Afternoon/Evening as the Twitter integration had ceased to sign me in Automatically & within a couple of hours it was all repaired & back to running exceptionally well again!). Just please stick with it/us as we hope to have a Long & Successful Life. In the meantime get back out to the Frontier & fight Pilot!
You made it out as if I demanded they make it an app, if you reread my statement, I simply said it would be more convienant and appreciated. Its not difficult for me at all to access this website seeing as I have it bookmarked in Safari on my iPhone. I love the way this forum is and wouldn't mind using it even if it never became an app. I've been on a few forums before and I like this one a lot. I love the game and the people on here. I have yet to see a troll or someone being vulgar to another. But all I'm saying is, I'd love for this to be an app. I personally am not really used to website forums and are way more fond of apps. Like Twitter and Facebook and what have you.
This could actually work. @WhoIsDo have you looked into the Tapatalk mod for forums? If you load that mod then we will be able to rock the site via the tapatalk app on Iwhore (hehe ) or Android.
