I thought I'd share that we might be switching to one of the nicer paid forum softwares like vBulletin in the coming months. This would allow us to use tapatalk so people can better access the forum on their mobile devices. The forum has survived its first year, and Ichiban and I both think it's time to expand this place in new and exciting ways.
Oh sweet jebus. You ever tried to type in the text box in the android browser? It's one of the most frustrating experiences ever. I browse the forum about 40% of the time on my phone and rage 95% of the time when I'm typing my post and need to make changes in it. Almost impossible to scroll up and down the text box and the cursor doesn't want to goto where you want it to all the time.
This is precisely why we want to get tapatalk working. We would migrate the current database, and try to do it in a way that would be seamless, with little or no down time for the forums.
I hope they fixed that in either honeycomb or ICS browser. Hell, the webos browser does fine in text boxes. I grabbed tapatalk for 50% off from the amazon appstore a few months ago. Haven't used it in a while. I think the only other forum I frequent that's on tapatalk is anandtech. If PVCF gets on tapatalk, it would make my money worth it.
Ichi, ignore the email I sent you, it went into my junk, should have checked really. Also why is Phisix now Dave?
The new software has a username and a displayname option, when Phisix signed up to the original forum he entered his real name at some point and its being used as a display name - i am at this moment in time fixing those issues.
Pretty smooth transition. Good job people! Most impressive was how quickly spammers got 8 posts in before most of us even registered!
