Since the early days there have been requests by some of you to create a mobile app to access this forum. Apps can be pretty expensive to develop so it hasn't really been something I've pursued. I did discover however that a popular app used to access forums is compatible with the software that runs this one.
The app is called "Tapatalk" (https://www.tapatalk.com/) and I just installed a component that would allow all of you to access the forum through this app.
This is just a test as right now I'm using the free version so unfortunately there will be ads on there (these aren't my ads but instead ads from the app itself) and some of the features on this board (like the "Likes") wouldn't be available through there. But once you log in you would have all the access you ordinarily would and control that is through an app instead of the browser.
The app is available for download both on Android and iOs. Here is an example of what the screen looks like on Android:
Note that if we decide we like using this I can then subscribe to the service and we can remove the ads. If we don't care for it then I'll just remove the service from the board.
As @dougs968 saw, when you log in via mobile you will now get an option to open this through Tapatalk. If you choose not to then hopefully after saying no a few times it won't continue asking each and every time.
Once installed go into the app and search for "Open Road" and you should be able to see us there. Log into the forum itself and you should be good to go.
Let me know your thoughts and we'll make a decision.
