Any Adroid coders here? I belong to a Ford F-150 forum and they have a mobile edition that I use allot. Anybody here capable of doing the same thing for the Island?

In theory, the mobile theme should automatically happen when you access the site with an Anroid. Is the F-150 forum an "app"?

Yes, it is an App. And I think that is what I meant. I have visited this site and it does have a mobile theme. I meant an app. It is easier wit the App to move around.

Here is the site I'm talking about.

Lot's of forums (AndroidForums.net, for example) have a purpose built app, that allow smoother access to the many features there that get obscured by the mobile theme.

From what I gathered, at AndroidForums, they had to contract it out to a team.

There is an iPhone App for vBulletin, but it costs money to put it on the website.

That sounds like it could get expensive. My only real problem with the mobile addition is that I can read, sign in, but not post. It gives me the box but won't let me add text to it.

Personally, I force IOMH to go to full site on my 'Droid. The mobile site just doesn't appeal to me, mainly due to lack of many full-site functions.
