Forum Applications for Mobile Phones

Dave, is BerryBlab still installed on the forum?

Seems it has indeed gone walkabout for some reason. I'll investigate this eveining.

Thanks Would be awesome if I could easily get my dose of TFSA on my Blackberry when I'm not at the PC!

Do I sense some addiction here ?

Naturally! Without my daily dose I can feel the withdrawal symptoms start to kick in!

Upon closer inspection, there is no obvious reason as to why Blerryblab isn't working. All the required files are present and accounted for.

Maybe I should point out this is not an auto-detect type of app. I think you have to add The Forum SA as one of your chosen sites using the Blerryblab app (somehow).

Hmm. Weird.

Well the app has an "add forum" button, which is where I got the error. I don't see anything else or any way I could do anything differently. Perhaps an issue with the updated version of vBulletin?

With the transfer there have been some critical changes, but a quick skim through the code looks like this should all have been auto-detected. I can only suggest you try to add the forum when you're on this page http://www.theforumsa.co.za/forums/ as it's the home folder location of the Berryblab files.

If that doesn't work, this is going to take a bit of digging and I'll have to ask for a little patience.

I'm hoping to take a week off work next week with the main goal of running over the entire installation of TFSA, cleaning up issues and adding a few things on my to-do list for the site.

Between the load issues on the previous server and load issues at work, maintenance on TFSA has been... less than optimal. I've been forced to focus on what I could drop as features rather than what I wanted to add, and have been dealing with broken stuff only when it's been fairly critical.

Happily, the server limitation issue seems to be a thing of the past (at least for the time being). So now it's just a case of allocating some dedicated time.

Dave, you genius! That fixed it!

At first I thought I had some settings wrong with my phone's APN, but then when I managed to add another forum I figured it couldn't be. Thank goodness it was just something simple like that.

Thanks for the help Dave.

[Dave A]

I'm chuffed that solved the problem. It struck me that if you tried just anywhere on the site (such as the site home page) there was nothing in the code to guide it to the key files it needs to work.

Dave, can you think of anything you did today that can cause me having problems viewing the forum properly from my notebook using a Huawei E220 modem? I can't see any images since this morning. It looks really crappy without images and it seems all style sheets are gone.

[Dave A]

Try CTRL F5 for a full refresh of the CSS. The only settings I changed yesterday was to extend the TTL in the nameserver's SOA.

[Chatmaster]

Grrrrrr, I knew that!
Did the trick, thanks Dave!

Hi All,

Could someone please advise me on the best route to get tapatalk onto my android phone?

Thanks,

[Dave A]

The Tapatalk app download info page is here.

If you do go the Tapatalk route, please let me know. I deactivated the API here a while ago because no-one was using it. But if it is going to get used, I'll get the latest version and get it back up and running.

Hi Dave A,
