iPhone App

Is there currently any app that customizes the forums for iPhone browsing? It would be great if there was something that simplified the forums (larger text, fewer images). Along the same lines, I sincerely hope that Mids never goes the iPhone app route. I will never work again if it does.

This would be awesome. The new forums are taking an age to load on my iPhone.

TBH, ANY CoH app for the iPhone would be great lol. There was a threrad a year or so ago about actually playing CoH on an iPhone, I remember. I wonder if it's still around...

I'm actually working on something, but Apple is kind of jerking me around about the dev program enrollment, which is required to publish it on the store.

Just for the record, Objective C is a [censored].

Oh crap, I guess that's a holdover from the old forums. Fine then, it's a *****.

I, too, think that an iPhone app would be great. I think it'll be a long time before we see the ability to actually play the game from our phones, but we might be able to access our WW or BM accounts from there or handle admin stuff for our accounts. It'd definitely be nice to have an options for the forums to be optimized for iPhone viewing.

I'm currently working on learning to program for the iPhone. A similar idea to this one was one of my first objectives, followed by a build planner app. Though, sadly, life has gotten in the way as of late and i've kindof had to backburner those ideas.

Edit:
ooooohhhh I like the edit button here...


back to my edit: Why on earth isn't my avatar showing up? This is the third post i've seen that happen in, though others are showing it no problem >.<

I see it fine. Do you have it somehow filtered or AdBlocked? Can you ping the server it's hosted on from your machine? What happens if you try to access it directly via its URL?

Yeah, it's there now, not sure what that's about but it's happened multiple times

I saw once where my avatar didn't show after I made a post, clicked on control panel to try to re-add it and saw the pic was still there. Then when I hit back to go back to the thread it was there.

Oh, and it's not a state secret or anything, the little project I'm working on is a handy dandy pocket reference for City of Heroes, kind of a miniature "Paragon Wiki," so to speak. Right now, I'm working on getting the contacts module done, where you can quickly navigate to a contact and see their missions (with objectives), where they are, what levels they have missions for, and so on. When I'm done with that, I'll move on to badges, maps, and maybe some integration with the Titan Network sites, but how far I get depends on how much time I get to dedicate to it. In theory, it should be pretty neat, at least a pretty good little project for someone who is learning Objective C and the frameworks for the first time.

Games I'm not so good at. I'm about as artistic as a two-by-four. Pretty much anything I come up with will very likely lie squarely in the realm of utility.

Mids' for iPhone is unlikely anytime in the remotely near future. Or even the distant future. The current version will not work on an iPhone. As far as I can tell, the cross-platform version that I'm working on wouldn't work on an iPhone without hacking the phone, which violates the iPhone TOU, and according to comments from Apple filed with the DMCA, violates their copyright (though there hasn't been an official ruling on the subject yet). And even if you did get it to work, the resolution would be terrible.

It seems that for quick reply and editing, the forum doesn't refresh the page, but instead uses AJAX to send the post content to the server and display the post. But the script doesn't show the avatar, for some reason.
