Is there an app for DS

Or a message board host site app that we can use when on our iphones/ipods?
My computer is dying and had been keeping me off the Sanctuary. But using the site from this tiny screen without an app is cumbersome.

I don't think there is, sorry.

Changing your board style might help. Go to User Control Panel, then Board preferences, look for My board style.

You can look to see if there are any apps that can interact with 'phpBB' forums (I don't know of any, but then again, I also don't really use any apple products new enough to be app aware)

Prosilver and sub silver are probably the two clearest themes for iphone viewing. You might still need to zoom the page out a bit, but I find them the clearest on the phone.

There are things like Tapatalk that will work with (possibly only certain versions of) phpBB, but that's a plug-in that needs installing and configuring on the site itself, so that's not going to work for here. And there are very good reasons why a forum or site owner wouldn't want to install it. (There are obviously reasons why they would, otherwise it wouldn't be being used so much.) It's also sodding annoying in it's default site config by shoving irritating pop-ups on your mobile browser telling you there's an app you can read the forum on. (As you might be able to tell, I'm not a fan ;) )

So I'd go for changing the theme :)
