    Below is an explanation from the Forum Runner package:

    This forum now supports Android and the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad natively with Forum Runner!


    What is Forum Runner?


    Forum Runner is an Android/iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad App that allows you to browse this forum using a native client. This means faster access for those users since it only downloads the actual forum information rather than all the extraneous images that slow down the mobile connection.


    Forum Runner Feature List




    • Browse your favorite forums in an easy-to-use-interface with multiple notification types (private message, subscription, etc)
    • Fully customizable home screen with your favorite forums
    • PUSH NOTIFICATION SUPPORT : Get private message and subscribed thread updates from your favorite forums in the background!
    • Poll updates (private messages/subscriptions) from favorites on home screen - shows you a summary of which forums you have new messages or subscriptions on!
    • Image attachment thumbnail and full size viewing from threads
    • View a thread's image attachments in one convenient screen (much like the native iPhone "Photo" app)
    • Save thread images to your iPhone/iPod touch library
    • Fully search-able forums!
    • View embedded links without leaving the app, including YouTube videos
    • Supports portrait AND landscape mode
    • Full posting options (quote posts, start new thread, etc)
    • Attach unlimited photos from your library (or take a photo from the camera and attach it)
    • Full support for private messages and private message folders
    • Full support for thread subscriptions - track your favorite threads and be updated via push when they have new posts!

    I noticed this pop up today. I haven ever used Forum Runner but see that a lot of sites use it. Is it worth the cost? I mean I've never had much issue with the mobile site.

    Worth it? I don't know about that yet.
    It is from the same company as the forum software(vBulletin) and was included with the upgrade. They make their money selling the app.

    Wow Forums on mobile phones? This is simply great. All that one needs to have is a smart phone with a decently big screen and the computer is right there in their pockets. New apps for mobile phones have done wonders to the mobile world. Mobile phones have traveled a long way from just being an instrument with which you can talk. The the forum runner is a typical example.
