They'd be also useful for getting notifactions.

Do you think there's a way to "deflash" the current forum to make it available to phones too? I think there was a post about this a long time ago

Here it is Topic-195222

If you use Android you can view the forum.

Another great reason why apple sucks!

I'm on 4.1.2 and I can view the forums. You just need to know how

Step 1) http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/android/11.1.115.81/install_flash_player_ics.apk
Step 2) ???
Step 3) Profit!

I hope I didnt loose anyone through those rigorous 3 steps!

I have a crappy android phone that doesn't support flash hi

*looses last hope after reading baffler's post*

Oh well.

I'm just curious what the html forums are going to be like. If Narayan is making a forum from scratch then I can't imagine it will have too many features. It's hard enough to make the very basics, but it's extremely hard to make a fully functional forum that is on par with vbulletin or xenforo for example. I mean, those forum software has teams of people working on them and there's a ton of features that would take a really long time for 1 person to do in a short period of time. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Well seeing that people like how the forum is simple. I suppose they will keep it simple.

I'll cry for months if its not something like phpbb, mybb or ipb.

Yea, but Tig had the same idea for these flash forums, to keep it simple. And there's not even private messages. I just don't understand why they can't do something like steam forums: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/

They are built on top of vbulletin, and you know if a huge company like valve can figure out how to use vbulletin and keep it secure, surely TFM can figure out something. They don't necessarily have to use vbulletin, but just some forum that has all the features we need, and build upon that instead of starting from scratch. Just my opinion though :P

Probably they want to make a html5 forums with game stats and all that

Well, maybe a forum like reddit is best? No?

Reddit is confusing for a lot of people.
Too many things to click.
