I tried to access the forum via my iPod touch today, but it told me to buy that cost worthy app again. I cancelled it and it took me to a blue Your Pet Forum! It is blue and the buttons are in different places plus the shoutbox isn't there and it doesn't tell you who's online. I can access the usual forum via tab and laptop so a change when in on my IPod is fine by me, but I was wondering if anyone had seen this funny forum version before?
Why does it ask me to buy an app if the same forum, with the same data and same members on, can be easily accessed without the app, simply on the Internet?
Yes it's different, but it contains the same.

I've seen the blue forum. I've used it on my mobile. I think when it asked me to buy the app, I said no, and it took me to the blue version. I'm guessing that they ask you to buy the app because they'd prefer people to spend money on it, but they can't force you to buy it, so they have a free version of the forum. But obviously the free version has less features.

it was like that for me before on my tab too. I never had to buy the app, i just switched it from the mobile version to the destop one and now it comes up as if i was on the computer.

I have no massive problem with the blue forum, but it would be nice to have all the features on my iPod - but at least I can still use the forum with the same important data and threads, members etc.
Your right Orpeous, they can't force people to buy the app. I wasn't impressed in the slightest because all the reviews were rubbish.
I'm quite pleased I can access the forum via iPod now, even though its different. I've not got the app, but I've copied the link into my home screen so it's easier to access.

Hi, I will see if we have any controls with the blue forum colours, but we do not control the app sales. The app is for all ProBoards forums, not just ours. I don't have it myself and my ipad works well without it.

My Kindle Fie Tablet works fine with the usual forum, but it's only my iPod touch that displays a blue forum. I have no problem with the colour. I'm fine using it, I was just wide irony if anyone else had it or it was just weird on my device.
