This is just a suggestion, but could the forum administrators add these forums to tapatalk so that it would be easier for us to access them from phones? As far as I know, adding the forums to tapatalk doesn't cost the forums anything, but it would add improved access for some of us. Thanks!

Len, have you ever tried to read a forum on a smartphone?

Sorry, I overlooked the phone issue and was thinking desktop when I wrote that.

I can't bring myself to subscribe to this one. To be told that something is iphone native and find out it's a commercial app that's being sold is irritating.
I'm not affiliated with either coffeegeek or tapatalk, and can't speak on behalf of either one. But I do spend a fair bit of time developing smartphone apps these days. As I understand it, though tapatalk does not charge forum owners a fee for access, it does require some effort to modify your forum software to work with tapatalk unless you use one of the common forum packages for which they've written a plugin. Coffeegeek uses custom forum software that they don't offer such a plugin for.
The programmer hours required to do this are, naturally, not free. Furthermore, because they're currently in the middle of building the next version of coffeegeek, any changes made to add this site now would have to be redone once the next version is built.
So I'd be very surprised if this makes an appearance before the next version of coffeegeek's forum software, if ever. That said, I find that the browsers on android and iphone work pretty well with coffeegeek as-is. The main limitation is inability to upload images from phones, but I haven't had any trouble reading and replying to posts without any kind of special app.
