Any chance of an option to make the background white? I've never been a fan of the orange on dark grey, but iPads are often used under more challenging lighting than a dedicated postprocessing monitor, and a white background is easier to read, especially with Apple's excellent screens and fonts.

The forum is easy on the eyes with iPhone, which normally is eye-scarring with a bright white background behind text. The control buttons work well and respect the user. I like the tiny arrows to zoom up in case one bales out of a thread. And the means to go back into the thread list.

Thanks for the new app
JimWhy not create a shortcut to your mobile device's home screen?That is why I do and it works quite well. 
I have a shortcut icon for the FM Forum and another for FM Reviews on my iPhone.
It works just as fast as an app.
If you want to make this a little more seamless for users, you might want to consider creating a user-friendly "create FM shortcut" button and prominently display it somewhere.
Along the lines of this: http://socialmedia.biz/2012/02/21/encourage-visitors-to-save-your-site-as-a-mobile-shortcut/
Since ppl like me right now are googling how to create a shortcut

any way to get this to work on a computer as well? I'm on a poor network for the next couple months and would like to use the mobile version.

Any chance of integrating with Tapatalk? Seems like a lot of folks access forums via Tapatalk on their cell phones. Tapatalk has notifications when a thread that you're subscribed to is updated, which brings you back to the site more frequently.

Unless things have changed, Fred had pretty much ruled out that option:

Did the page numbers disappear in the Buy/Sell Forums? We used to be able to browse through the pages, and now that no longer seems to be available?

I had to clear my web history on my iPad and now I am stuck on the regular site, I can’t find the link at the bottom of the page to switch to the mobile link. Is that not available any longer?

I can still see page numbers. They are above an ad and above the "Latest Front Page News". It is not really at the bottom of the page.

That’s strange, Dave. I still see it on my device (iPhone 8+, Safari browser, iOS 14.4).

It’s gone on my iPad. It’s an older 6th generation iPad, so don’t know if that has anything to do with it. I can still switch between the standard and mobile version on my Samsung S6 phone, but I don’t like using my phone for much with the small screen.

I see it on my iPhone but not my iPad. I tried both Firefox (my usual browser) and Safari on the iPad. Neither shows the mobile option. My iPad is pretty old, so maybe it only works on newer iPads? My iPad says the OS is up to date.
I never use my phone but do occasionally use the iPad for the FM site. It's inconvenient because all the photos are too large for the screen. The mobile version worked better but it seems to be gone for my iPad.
