    A couple of months ago we upgraded to a newer version of vBulletin that came with a completely new editor (mentioned briefly HERE).

    We've added Tapatalk support to the new forum software and it now features iPad support/optimisation. If you've already purchased the software for your iDevice, I believe the Tapatalk upgrade is free. If you've tried it out on an iPad, drop us a line and let us know about it!

    So now when you're out 'n' about using a mobile device (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Android, Windows Phone 7, webOS, BlackBerry, Nokia) you can experience a much more user-friendly, mobile-optimised experience of our forum!

    For more information on purchasing Tapatalk for your mobile device (it's under a fiver!) go to Tapatalk. To find us, start the application and either search for Feathers and Photos or browse to Aquarium & Animals > Bird > Feathers and Photos. ...
