What's the best way to view this forum on an iPhone?

Hello! I’m a newb (buying a 2024 RTL in July!). I tried searching, but didn’t find anything, sorry if it has been asked before - what is the best way to view this forum on iPhone? Is there a good viewer for vBulletin?

Not really, in my opinion it sucks on my iPhone. much better on computer

Yeah, the Forum is designed to be viewed on a Browser, so while it'll work on your phone, it's best used/viewed thru a 'computer' type device with a browser like Edge, Chrome, etc. There was a time that we supported viewers on things like tapatalk etc, but the continual & unique changes to the vBulletin platform called for by allowing access from a number of those other viewers, and ultimately even by allowing access thru just one of them, tapatalk, became a significant cost to the ongoing operation of the Forum, so that 'other viewer' facility was dropped in its entirety so that the Forum's continued operation wasn't put at quite such a risk! :lecturef_smilie:

All of which adds up to meaning that your best way to use/view the Forum is thru your normal web browser of choice on whatever device you chose works best for you. Personally, I use my Samsung phone's internet browser when I'm away from home; and a Samsung tablet or HP Notebook when I'm home. :thumbup:

Click on “New Posts” then scroll down. This forum is very cluttered for me to use in any other way on my iPhone.

Gotcha, thanks for the thorough reply! This is a great community you all have built here!!

The biggest issue with viewing on a cell phone is the number long signature blocks that make scrolling forum threads a chore. Signature blocks should be limited to help maintain focus on content. As is, it seems like one of those websites where every other line is an ad trying to sell you something....:dontknow:

When using my phone, I turn it sideways to get portrait view which is easier for me to read.
