Forum app, Home Screen shortcut, and password questions

Can they make an app for this great forum, or is it advisable to add this website to Home Option that looks like an app with the icon it produces? Would that be creating a mini app? Also, is it advisable to change your password after using this forum? Just curious and thank you for reading, and have a great day.

You need to ask the moderation team about that, and they do not respond here. Their email contact is in the Terms of Use document (link at bottom of this page.

That is what i do on my iPhone and iPad. It does act like an app. However, I make it go to the forum site map, not the homepage.

That way it goes straight to a screen with all the topic categories listed. That is not possible from the forum home page without a lot of tapping to get there.


Also, is it advisable to change your password after using this forum?


Up to you. I've been here close to a quarter-century with no security issues, As ir uses your Apple Account/Apple ID password—which is well-protected—for login, I feel it is a secure setting.
