MacRumors: iPhone, Forums, Mobile, Spy

MacRumors · Jul 22, 2007, 05:45 PM

With the release of the iPhone and growing activity in our forums, I thought I'd remind users of these helpful areas of the site that may make browsing MacRumors more enjoyable:

iPhone

MacRumors/iPhone - we separated additional tips and stories of interest to iPhone owners onto a separate page. "Significant" iPhone related stories will still be cross-posted to the main site.

Mobile

mobile.macrumors.com - more compact form of MacRumors and Page 2 for mobile phone users.
mobile.macrumors.com/iphone - more compact form of our iPhone blog for mobile phone users.
mobile forums - mobile friendly forums

Forums

forums.macrumors.com - one of the most active Apple related forums. Register to participate.
spy.macrumors.com - Real time view of new posts on the forums.

Excellent idea.It helps the clarity a lot.
Thanks arn.

If it keeps Mac and iPhone topics seperated, its a good thing.

Don't forget the "iPhone Friendly" skin you can view the forums with. Can be found on the bottom left of the page.

I agree... the spy feature really makes browsing the forums very interactive/enjoyable. It's hard for me to browse without it.

Can we start a text messaging service for front page updates?

puckhead193 · Jul 22, 2007, 09:36 PM

I forgot about the IRC chat

nichos · Jul 23, 2007, 12:17 AM

I'd like to see a "spy" tab up top. I see it under forums, but then I'd have to go there first. Or maybe a link at the top of the right column, above recent forum comments?

What's up with the negative ratings for this post? Every time I swear I'm going to ignore the rating system, a post like this one catches my attention.

I hear you. I swear I'm going to ignore posts where someone asks, Who rated this as negative? but then a post like this catches my attention.

I just don't get the ratings system. Do people need to see how others fell before they make up their mind?

I agree with the previous 2 posts.
Why something so innocuous as this topic gets any negative votes is beyond me.
