Introducing Forum Runner for the iPhone/iPad/Android!

What is Forum Runner?

Forum Runner is an IP.Board application that allows your users to browse your forum using a native Android/iPhone/iPad 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 is FREE for forum owners to install, and takes less than 5 minutes. The client for the iPhone/iPad/Android costs 1.99$ which is LESS THAN THE COMPETITORS, and has more features. Please see the list below for full information on Forum Runner's features.

Forum Runner inherits all the security built into IP.Board, so users running Forum Runner will only be able to see the same forums and threads as they could using a regular browser.
