Forum Browser iphone app

Does anyone know of an app which lets you browse and post to forums?

Most websites use common technologies to manage their forums, one of my favourite forums uses SMF2.0 and this forum uses VBulletin. Surly these will have an api that would enable an app to nicely browse the threads and posts.

I'm hoping this already exists and someone can point me at it.

thanks in advance

there is one I know of, but the reviews haven't been too good.

We have created one as well. Currently works with phpBB3. phpBB2 and vBulletin are coming soon.

I'm using Forums and TouchBB Forum Browser. Neither is perfect, but both will allow you to at least read your forums.

I probably prefer TouchBB, it seems more stable and allows you to view active threads, but it falls down because it requires a php file to be installed on the forum's server - fine if you're the forum admin, but a hard sell to get other admins to allow it on their server.

Forums allows me to read a variety of forums but it is basic. However it doesn't require any extra software.

Neither will show me a list of unread threads, or allow me to pick up threads where I last got to.
