    was looking into making an app, it looks quite hard and theres the $99 fee aswell.

    whois search is a good idea though!

    Good idea, I have found a developer to work on this but he needs your iPhone UDID number (Instruction can be found at Finding Your iPhone?s Unique Identifier (UDID) - iPhone How To Docs - innerfence)

    Please send it to me.

    This will be a beta test but you will be able to download a special custom Acorn application from iTunes. Should be available next day or 2

    May be login and read only to start with as it seems this is not an easy thing to do.

    PM me your UDID (I don't have an iPhone)

    Has anyone tried searching for a vbulletin app for the iphone, I'd be amazed if someone hasn't looked into it before.

    Maybe there are some do's and don'ts on the net for it. Or maybe if someone gets lucky, one already built.

    OK we now have an iPhone optimised template too:
    iPhone Style

    There is a "Normal Version" button bottom left corner if you want to try it on your PC or phone, otherwise the default template is:
    Classic Style

    How does that look?

    I will get the iPhone application in Beta anyway.

    Not sure if your meant this, but if you select the AD iPhone forum theme from your device, go to the homepage, and you will see I added a bulk WHOIS? lookup button top right corner (easier to press with your finger than a text link) which will take you from the homepage direct to a bulk whois lookup script.

    Going vaguely off topic, but not too much, can anyone help as to how to make the forum a bit easier to read on my Blackberry Bold?

    DB, get the number using this process:
    Finding Your iPhone?s Unique Identifier (UDID) - iPhone How To Docs - innerfence

    Also try the new iPhone style (from the style chooser bottom left corner), how does it look?

    I am working on the iPhone app but it requires VB modifications so needs a lot of work to get it sorted.

    Will keep you posted.
