I see the site is NOT powered by vBulletin but the layout and features dont seem too far different. Question to Site Administrators: Is there a compatible tapatalk plugin to enable higher iPod and Android availability?

Hi and thanks for the suggestion! This is definitely something we've looked into, since one of our biggest requests is better mobile support. Unfortunately this board is largely custom-coded, so there's no plugin, we'd need to implement the Tapatalk API ourselves. Ideally we'd like to switch to a responsive design so the actual site works well in mobile browsers without a separate app, but that would be a very large project. We are weighing our options and may well end up adding Tapatalk support in the future. Thanks again for your interest!

Okay right on.! Dont stress too much because I find I can use the site and do minor text code no problem on any device I have to use. But lately - just lately - I am no longer able to upload pictures from my specific device. Im confident its some compatiblity issue on my end im trying to fix.
Any suggestions on mobile uploads? Thanks for the support and definitive answer!

What browser do you use? I use chrome and uploading pictures works flawlessly, I've had some problems uploading on some other browsers though.
Have you tried clearing your cache, cookies, and other temp files?

Would donations help? I remember years ago you had a mod working on an app. If the shroomery had an app like Reddit is fun that would be amazing and I'm sure people will contribute to make it happen.

The thing is, an app is the relatively "easy" part. Reddit has so many apps because, well, they're popular, but also they have a robust API for interacting with their site, so anyone can access and submit data through a well-defined public interface. We don't have an API, and to make an app work, the first step would be building our own API. If we can do that, I'm sure the site would be able to fund the development costs of an app for Android and iOS. It's just a very big project to develop a comprehensive, secure, high performance API, which is why it hasn't been done yet.
In the meantime I've been working on some changes to make the site display better on mobile devices and I'll be rolling them out in stages over the coming weeks. Hopefully that will help... it's surprising how big a difference we can make with just a few changes.
