Forums for mobile

I was thinking, how tough is it to make these forums mobile friendly, and who has that kind of experience, and are they interested?

Simplest/best way to address that is on the forum software side - phpBB probably has a mobile-friendly mode in its newest versions. Don't know how difficult an upgrade is though.

I just go on my phone (Iphone) through safari and go to the Forums and make an app through the browser... and yes with an (Iphone) it is possible

Its free and very convenient to have!

The main issue is the forum layout - it's not designed for a small screen so there are links that are hard to touch etc.

There is a mobile application called Tapatalk and it specializes in building mobile communities. There are Tapatalk plug ins that you download for phpbb sites. I'm not sure about the cost or how to implement it. The only thing is that you would have to view this forum on Tapatalk's app. This could be a solution? Anyways here is the link.
