Predecimal Forum for iPod Touch or iPhone

Recommended Posts

NOTE: Due to the image limit on the forum I have posted most of the images as links. If you want to see them you must click on them.

A while ago I saw a topic about coin apps for iPhone and I thought that as this forum is an incredibly good recourse I should look for a way to get it on my iPhone - without the hassle of getting it up on the browser in a badly sized window where I have to zoom every 5 seconds to read anything.

Recognising the forum software as Invision Power Board (IP.Board) I knew that they had made an app - so it'd be pretty straightforward.

I thought I'd put up how it's done in case anyone didn't know:

Installing the Application

Firstly, turn on your iPhone or iPod touch (I've tried skipping this step, it doesn't work as well :P )

Now touch the App Store button. It is usually on the first few pages or on the little dashboard at the bottom.

Once loaded, press the search button, then touch the search bar at the top.

Search "IP Board".

Press the first and only result.

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa416/SionGilbey/IMG_0032.png

To download the application, press the "Free" button. It should change into an install button.

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa416/SionGilbey/IMG_0033.png

Now press Install.

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa416/SionGilbey/IMG_0034.png

Type your Apple ID and Password and download the Application.

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa416/SionGilbey/IMG_0035.png

Using the Application

Press the home button on the base of the iPod to go to the App Menu.

You should find at the end of the app list a new app called "IPB"

Press it.

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa416/SionGilbey/IMG_0036.png

It now prompts you to push notifications. I pressed OK.

Another prompt box comes up, just press OK on that one too.

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa416/SionGilbey/IMG_0037.png

You now come to the Application itself.

Press the "+" button in the top right corner to add a forum.

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa416/SionGilbey/IMG_0038.png

It asks for the title.

Write:

Title: British Coins - Predecimal.com

URL: http://www.predecimal.com/forum/

and your email and password for predecimal.

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa416/SionGilbey/IMG_0039.png

The forum is now added.

Press it.

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa416/SionGilbey/IMG_0040.png

Wait for it to load

Hmm... the trouble with Facebook is that everyone can find you... even people you'd prefer not to.
