It provides super-fast access to your forum and allows your members to participate more in your forum while on the go.

of your existing forum code and configuration. Simply follow the procedure below:

Step 2

Upload the zip package at the root of your forum system.
Unzip the package. You should see a directory called "mobiquo" inside your forum
system root directory. For example, if your forum URL is http://www.mysite.com/forum,
it should be placed at http://www.mysite.com/forum/mobiquo/.


Step 3

Login to Administration Control Panel (admincp) in your server.
Choose "Style Manager" under "Styles and Templates".
Choose "Edit Template" in your current template.
Click "Edit" in your current template

Wouldn't it make more sense to charge forum owners for the plug-in instead of end-users for the app? The reason I say this is that I doubt there is going to be a flood of iphone users paying $3 to browse a forum they can already browse with safari. However, if it were free, they might just grab it. As a forum owner I would actually prefer paying for it instead of my users. I don't want to put the time into adding it to my forum,testing, etc, with the thought that not many will probably use it.

Just my 2 cents and I could always be wrong.

im on the support forum so much i forget about coming here.

i absolutely love the app. i see so much potential in it. the customer service is great. you really feel like they pay attention to suggestions and concerns.

having private messaging makes a big difference. i didn't even realize how much more i would enjoy the app with it.

i look fwd to future updates.

I have the beta version with PM support, and it is really good! Just what I needed. Looking forward to trying out push notification.

Hurry up Apple!

I've just uploaded the contents of the zip file to my forum directory and went to your website to set it up and your database is failing. I even tried registering in your forums to no avail.
