    Default VBulletin +iPad

    How do I make it work? The Outdoor and Hunt's adds cover too much to make using iPad with BPN viablebfor me. Only site giving me a headache!:o

    Jay,

    Greetings. I didn't have the borrowed iPad long enough to try the vBulletin app... it doesn't solve the problem?

    Just using Safari was a non-starter as you describe.

    Cheers,

    -Yamo-

    Er, never mind. I just downloaded the app for my iPhone... is for a forum about vBulletin, not for using vBulletin :o Sigh.

    Ah, but there is an app TouchBB Forum Browser that seems to be the right thing. I'll let you know if there is success.

    So it is... I never looked at it until now. There's a vbulletin/phpbb forum app in the App Store too that you might want to try. I have no way of testing it.

    TouchBB also doesn't work for accessing bpn.

    Do a search for Vbulletin in the App Store. There are a few supposed to work with forums in general.

    Tapatalk is installed here already. The read only client portion is free from tapatalk.com. I can only test on a Blackberry and it does work but is limited (naturally)

    from the vBulletin vendor forums... "The iPhone app will be released to the Apple store, and subsequently doesn't need to be included in a product release by us, I don't know at this stage whether that will be before or after 4.1.
    The intention is to release a mobile skin with 4.1 "

    I have not been able to access BPN in a way that makes it usable on my IPAD. I will try a few of the apps suggested here. BPN is the only forum typed website I have had any issues with...

    Rocky, I don't have an iPAD yet but tapatalk, at least seemed to have the best story of the ones I didn't try while I had borrowed one.

    Good luck. Let us know if you find something that works.

    Cheers,
