Most likely not, as the tech team has worked very hard on making these newer forums more accessible and smoother for the mobile formatting, and creating an app for that would just seem too much work for little reward. 2 Link to comment

Nishok Posted July 19, 2021 Content Count: 3178 Joined: 08/06/08 Status: Offline Share Posted July 19, 2021 I've made a small change to how the website can function on mobile, this will allow you to create a "Home screen shortcut" which will make the forum work like an app, not showing any searchbar or anything else browser related. Note: I'd suggest doing this on our homepage, or the forum's main page (as the app will always open this page first if you're opening the app for the first time). Here's how to do it on Android + Chrome. This can be done by almost any browser, both Androind and iOS. Open the menu (3 dots) Tap on the "Add to Home screen" menu item. This will create a new item on your home screen. Opening it will now make it open like an app. ------------------------------------------------ Before After This is the closest we'll be in regards of having an actual mobile app for our website. 18 Link to comment
