I can access this site alright on my Nokia N95. I have no idea what little app or whatever it might use though sorry. Scrolling is my only issue!
Yes, I can access it ok on my iPhone, but I am forever having to shrink or expand sections, and navigating (eg scrolling etc) is a bit cumbersome. Tapatalk makes navigation simpler. But for it to work, the forum owner must download the free plug-in to activate Tapatalk in your forum.
There are other forum apps out there (I have 2) but I find that Tapatalk works best (for me).
There's some info here about Tapatalk for Nokia N95.

There's lots of other Tapatalk info out there if you google.
Where to start... Well firstly, i guess i am a little depressed about only finding this thread now. Mainly because i feel like I have turned my back on the forum over the last few months, when over the years have received so much help and have met some great people.
Since selling my discus in April due to a big move and shutting my tank down I have only come back every once in a while for a steaky beak. I guess i miss the hobby to much to be here all the time. I guess i have contributed to the lameness of forums in Oz by putting efforts into other areas.
Anyway. I have breezed over all other pages bar the 1st page which i read. I guess my ADD mix of OCD pushed me to reply before reading if there was a verdict.
My view is that a super site would work great BUT it has to be segregated accordingly and effectively- including classifields etc. Nothing worst then shifting through unrelated material to your quest for an answer.
I love all things not speaking human. So broadening the site to handle all interests would be the ultimate one stop shop. And yes TW, I agree on the iphone access aspect.
Anyway, think I read pro saying that it is going to be only aquatic, which is cool too. Think i should go back and read the other pages now.
Just read it all. Dig it. Wish i read it all before replying. By the time i got to my reply I was thinking what dickhead hasn't read the thread.
Great decision on the aqua (discus focused) only with minimal other and the strategic links to other main forums. Based on reponses I agree.
Along with the gay chicken subsite, we need a homaphradite section.
I am rambling again. sorry.

Both... In the same area... Side by side. Pictures. We can even include the common reed frog as a guest appearance.
Some of the colours of the reed Frog are really nice :)
Stunning hey!
Indeed , they have a few different types :)
IMO dont change a winning formula.
Discus focus with minor sub sections.
A revamp, with a new design to make it shiny and new is my preference.
how about puting up an auction section sort of like ebay but for fishtank stuff it would be great
So true!Quote:

In the end this may result in more stressed fish, and more stressed keepers in the market place, and eventually less hobbyists be it due to frustration or death of their expensive pets at the fault of poor unfiltered advice.
I feel as though there is enough bad advice out there at the moment as it is. Having specialised individual sites allows for closer scrutiny of whats posted, and a higher concentration of experience in a specific field, which in turn will attract more new hobbyists seeking experience, not just a big website.
On another note, the boutique industries in Australia are far more popular these days with the larger department stores suffering both on the share market and in-store sales.
I think you guys are doing a GREAT JOB!!! and that it would be best to stick with it. PLEASE DONT MERGE. I will do my best to get the word out and get more members in, if we all get just one the site will flourish in no time.
Also happy to advertise the forum in our new store opening next month, if the admin cares to send me advertising material...hell i'll even use discusforum bags if we can make them financially viable and recyclable (try to keep it green!).
Regards,
Exotic Aquatic
As per PM, no sponsorships or advertising is being offered until we get around to upgrading things here.
You, like a few others have been granted permission to post in a commercial manner until such a time comes around that we can re-evaluate this.
The forum will be staying Discus specific, however a few areas will be opened up to other aquatic species, but nothing over the top.
I realize this upgrade has been a long time coming, however a lot has been going on behind the scenes in relation to work and our real lives.
I don't hear anyone complaining about the delay, the gay chickens & ac/dc frogs aren't in a hurry either. :argueQuote:

If we have to be a little less exclusive, so be it.
And the expansion into new technology sounds great!!
DiscusForums Rule :thumb :thumb
Old Dave
Proteus: Love the forum man, i mean only good mate!
I didnt mention sponsorship here or my advertising, and i thank you for your informative PM the other day. I only spoke above in relation to some of the members concerns stated in this thread about more exposure for the site (not me) im happy to promote you in my store (not the other way round) If you so chose.
Happy to do my bit to help.
I don't do Facebook or twitter either, but I do have an iPhone and I really wish the forum was mobile friendly. There are several Apps out there that that work. I have a few of them that I use on other forums an IMO, Tapatalk is the best.Quote:
