Today I installed forumrunner, a forum app for android and iphone!
And it works. I am using it right now.

Here's what uneed to do:
Go to the iphone store or android market, and find buy and install forumrunner.
There are 2 versions, the free one is read only, won't login or post.

The pay one is a dollar 99 cents US.
Worth notin that the site doesn't get dime one of that.

Once u have it installed, browe forums, select cars, then chevrolet. Right now easy to spot, at the bottom of the list, and highlighted by out frontpage image.

Once your are on, you will see a list of our main categories.
Go inside one, and hit youred menu button.
One if the choice is login.
Once logged in, you'll be able to post, reply, even upload photos as you take them on your phone!

This last is my favorite feature.

Enjoy!

Hey Jim obviously posting pics is way easier. Is cruising the forums easier/faster with the app than just using the browser as well?

U don't have the whole web site filling your tiny screen.

When you first go in, you see only the topic headings, community, firstgens in action, performance, restoration.

Click one, you see the subheadings.

Click one u see the list of threads with title, last poster with date and time and the firstfew worda, all in bold if it is new.

In a thread, it's all formatted to fit your tiny screen.

It supports new threads, replies, upload or capture attachments, pm's, current posts (same as our view new posts button)

It is all a completely different format and style made for a phone.

U can download the free version to make sure you like it before ou spend your money on it.
But I'm pretty sure everyone who see's it will like it

There is also an iPad app, I am using it right now

Advantage with Forumrunner is that it is easier to navigate and read since everything is sized for smartphone devices.

Try the free app to check out how it looks and work, if you like it spend the 99cents and enjoy.
