DVC News forum use by mobile devices

[DVC Mike]

I use my iPad or iPhone more than my PC to browse the DVC News boards. I'll typically click on the New Posts link and get a few pages of new posts.

However, DVC News uses a somewhat small icon (first new.gif - 12 x 12 pixels) to the left of the thread title to click onto view new messages in the thread.On a PC or Mac, there's no problem. But on an iPad or iPhone, it's sometimes hard to click that icon. I have to pinch and zoom in on the screen or I'll end up clicking on the thread name (starting at post #1) or the poster's name (showing me their profile).

Can you consider using a somewhat larger icon? Passporter's has a nice large "View New" icon which I can touch with my finger and be confident it will work. MO is even worse, as they use a tinier 9x9 icon.
On a similar vein, I like the the Forum Runner app that is available to use with Vbulletin. The DISBoards has a branded version in the iOS app store that I use and like better than Tapatalk. Are there any plans for DVC News to support Forum Runner? I know you support Tapatalk already.

No changes are planned at this time. If we do look at making changes to the forum templates, I will keep these suggestions in mind.

There is an app for the iphone and ipad that many use called Tapatalk. I am not sure if there is a free (ad based) app, but I have the paid version and it was maybe $1.99 or about that. Very easy to use and has many forums set up on it.
