iPhone/iTouch owners can now use our site directly!
Posted: Fri Dec 11, 2009 12:20 amSo hang on ... a global site announcement? This must be big!
Well ... it is! As the subject says, just like the standalone facebook app, iPhone/iTouch users can now browse the MINI Club of Ireland's site directly on their device, without having to use their browser, or enter their username and password each time. It's just as easy as facebook to use on the iPhone/iTouch - and probably even easier than the site itself.
How do I set this up?
You need to download TouchBB. There's a free version, and a slightly more advanced version for 79 cent. Once you've downloaded the app, you need to tell it how to get here and access the information. Go into the settings menu, and for the access url, put http://miniclub.ie/forum/, and then simply enter your username and password.
What can I see when using this app?
The entire forum, your PMs, popular threads, who's online, the entire member's list, and you also have the ability to search the forum.
Wow, sounds cool, but what does it look like?
I've put three screenshots below. The first is the iPhone/iTouch springboard. The icon for this program, TouchBB is the yellow LOL one at the bottom. The second screenshot is the main forum, and the third screenshot is an individual thread. Images are automatically resized to fit in the window. In the second, and third shots, you can also see the menus at the bottom for jumping between the forum, PMs, and search.
