ProBoards -- who runs the "freeforums.net" site -- recommends this mobile app: www.proboards.com/mobile-forum-appNot quite as nice as the EP app... and we all had complaints about that! But if you are hankering for an app to view this forum, give it a try.

I am still figuring this out - I have the app downloaded, but cannot get on the actual forum. Will work on that!

I got it to work -- but it is a bit tedious. Try this: skip forward through the early screens getting you to subscribe to random sites. Then, with the "+" icon, add this site by its full name: "iliasm.freeforums.net". It prompted me for my login and password here, which I gave.
(UPDATE: don't forget our new URL is: "iliasm.org".)
Now I can browse the forum from my phone, and it is alerting me when I get "likes" and PMs... so I guess it worked.

I have the app installed and somehow managed to find my way to the ILIASM! Don't ask how I did it, because I think I went the scenic route.

And: the app ("Tapatalk") looks nothing like the FreeForums site. However, all the same elements are there: The "General" category holds all the "Boards" which hold the "Threads" which hold the "Posts". You can read, "like", etc. You can also be alerted (on your smartphone) when others "like", quote, or reply to your posts. Maybe I've posted one or two simple comments from the app, and clicked "like" a few times. But mostly if some one replies to me and I feel it deserves a response, I head to my PC to type up a proper one. Which, now that I think about it, is pretty much how I used the EP app.

I use my iPad. My computer is in the main family area and everyone stops to see what I'm doing!

Arrrrrg! How do I get rid of that annoying little "1" notification on the app icon? Sigh. I'll figure it out.

OK - I got it. It's sort of a pain to have to create yet another account....but it is an app.

Ok. Got it. To get rid of the little notification numbers you have to go back out to the main app.

I really wanted the "Tapatalk" app to be good. Alas, it is a bit clunky.
I just tried something simple that worked pretty well: accessing the site with the smartphone browser. I found it VERY nicely laid out.
I may leave Tapatalk installed since it gives me alerts when my posts are liked or quoted, but I'll probably be using my mobile browser to read and reply.

Yes, having tried both, I actually prefer the browser.

Argh! Tapatalk is driving me crazy!
OK, I have an phone. Just [re-]installed Tapatalk. Figured I'd add ILIASM with its new web address...
I can't FOR THE LIFE OF ME figure out where to enter it.
And I already deleted it from my old phone, so I don't have anything to compare it to.
Can anyone help??? TIA.

Just a "bump" to this thread to serve as a reminder to forum newcomers: You have two basic options to access this forum from your mobile device: - Use your web browser with URL "http://iliasm.org"
- Install the "Tapatalk" app. (Info from their home page -- www.tapatalk.com/ -- or check your app store.)
There are pros and cons of each. Here are some of the pros of each: - Mobile web browser maintains more of the "look and feel" of the ProForums website; you can see "who liked" a post
- Tapatalk as an app can push notifications such as "you have a PM" or "a post of yours has been 'liked'"
We hope one or both of these will help you make the most of your experience here.

I have tried Tapatalk. Hated it. Found it hard to get to the forum. Fortunately, I have an iPad Pro with Chrome. Works great for that!
