On the suggestion of member beer, I've installed the Tapatalk app on the forum. Basically for those with smartphones, etc. out there, this should give you a better option to view the forum. There are a couple of catches. First, for the "free" version of the app you will only be able to view the forum. If you buy the $2.99 full version, you should be able to do everything you normally can do. Since I don't have a smartphone, I am counting on you iPhone users and others to give me some feedback on this whole thing. I will add their "stock post" in a reply below this. If you try this out, let me know what you think and post your impressions here please. Thanks and thanks to beer for the heads up on this.

Ok, ignore this app for now. It was messing up the html coding on the site. I posted a message on the SMF forum about the issue. Maybe they will fix it sometime soon.
I have been looking for a long time for a mobile app that works with forums, but they all seem buggy, unstable or more of a nuisance than it's worth. Will keep you informed if I find anything though.

Did some looking around and the only app that supports SMF is the one you posted on so unless they can fix the issues with your site, we mobile app users can't do anything. Mobile browsers all the way.

Looks interesting but I don't know how necessary it really is. Of course if it's free at your end then you might as well use it (unless it continues to mess things up).
Bummer, sorry it didn't work out with the site Rico. Perhaps when the problem gets fixed.
