Don't understand what you are asking.


Are you requesting making an appointment for a Surgery?

If so we would have to know who are listed there.


This would show who attends often and might be a bit invasive on your private life.


If an appointment list was made how could it be linked or enforced.

Requesting an app for smart phones and tablets - I use my iPhone to view site and I always have to zoom in and it's annoying - I don't think it would leave anyone out just make it easier to use and post for people who are on the go rather than computer/ laptop access

I think it should be accessible for both?

Just seeing what people thought, and yes not everyone knows what an app is but most people do - I just think site is easy on a computer or laptop and maybe more difficult on mobile/ tablet?

Interesting to see arguments for and against

There have been a few threads on this - short point is the version/software the forum runs on doesn't easily support custom apps or preexisting apps like Tapatalk. So not likely unless the forum admins take the major decision to change the software, or someone with major coding skills steps up.

Even if it was technically feasibile to build iOS and Android front ends, the development cost would surely be in the tens of thousands. Not to mention ongoing maintenence/support.


But if you're offering your own skills or money, then I'm sure admin would be glad to hear from you.

I think I did back of fag packet sums of development costs vs likely sales.

They didn't add up, it would need to be a labour of love, not to mention the dubious T&Cs of App store etc.


An android app might be more feasible but it would still need to be a labour of love.


A HTML5 designed with mobile in mind would probbly be the easiest, but as already mentioned phorum doesn't have a decent API so a bespoke one would need to be written.


Bottom line, not going to happen.

On the phorum site they have a mobile template for download. No idea how easy integration with current host would be but a quick scout around other phorum sites suggests that if the Derby Writers Association can do it...

By the looks of things that's a plugin on existing functionality, serving up a different look when it detects that it's a mobile version of a browser or mobile os. Can't see the gubbins as work blocked, but probably mostly CSS differences and maybe some custom javascript stuff.


Not exactly a native app, but as I said making it look better on a mobile browser would be a much more effective way forward, as it's only barely usable on a phone, especially scrolling around the text box on a long post and finding the damn post/preview buttons.

    • Another great job from Leon - sorted a consumer unit and EICR for me last minute. Highly recommend 
    • Admin, please move this if it's in the wrong section. Can anybody recommend a reasonably local dietician (or possibly nutritionist? Not sure what the difference is). My GP has suggested I see a dietician, but there isn't one attached to the practice. I have googled, but it's very hard to tell what people may be like from an online description, and I want somebody who is properly qualified. Alternatively, please PM me if you know of people I should avoid! Thanks x
    • A vet might be able to trace its owners if it's chipped. Also I believe twb who posts on here has a mobile scanner. Poor cat.
    • If you look at the application linked to in the OP, you'll see it's a Licensing Act 2003 one, in this case for the purposes of sale by retail of alcohol and for the provision of late night refreshment: "TAKEAWAY COFFEE/ HOT SNACKS 2300-0100". IF the shop counts as a Hot Food Takeaway, then section P48 of the Southwark Plan https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Southwark Plan 2022 reduced 1.pdf , which appears to be the latest one linked to on Southwark's site, will I presume be applied in any  planning application (Is there one?). It says: "New hot food takeaways will only be permitted where: ..... 3. The proposed location is further than 400 metres from any existing or proposed primary or secondary school’s boundary; ....." It incorporates  policy laid down in the National Planning Policy Framework, and thence the London Plan.  Over the years KFC, and others, have taken a  number of appeals against local planning authority decisions on Takeaways to the Planning Inspectorate.  Some have been allowed.  KFCs 'commentary on evidence contained in London Plan Topic Paper: Hot Food Takeaways', https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/nlp_ad_91.pdf may be of interest to some. I'm guessing it's referring to https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/london_plan_topic_paper_on_hot_food_takeaways.pdf of 2018, but haven't yet checked.
