Apple app store doesn't show a Volnation app. I still use the mobile web site.

It’s not an app in the App Store. You install it as a web app in safari as outlined in the pictures from the first post.

Some of you may have noticed a message at the bottom of your browser asking you if you want to enable push notifications. It's a new feature of the board where you can install the website as a web app and you can get push notifications on your mobile device, ipad or laptop/desktop computer.

My plan for this is to set up Breaking News Alerts that will be pushed to your phone. More on that at a later date.

On your mobile phone (iphone or Android) go to the main VolNation forum page and then click on the share button. On iOS it looks like a box with an arrow pointing up. Click the button and then select add to home screen. On Chrome for Android I had to click the three dots at the top right to go into settings and then click add to home screen. You should see a new icon on your phone. Click on that to open the site. A message will appear asking to enable notifications. Pick yes.

Here’s a picture of the share button on an iphone.

Here is what the new home icon should look like on your phone.

On desktop, all you should have to do is click the message at the bottom of the screen to enable push notifications.

Next. go into your preferences under your profile and check the boxes next to the items you'd like to be notified of via "push".

Let me know if you have any issues or questions or if there's anything I need to clarify in the instructions above. I know one person that did have to update their iphone to the latest software version to get it to work, but I'm not sure whether that's the norm or not.

Does the app also send score updates for baseball etc?

@Freak thank you for all the work you do to maintain this site. It’s amazing.


Some recent change resulted in adds taking up the entire screen on my phone, rendering it very difficult to use and very frustrating. Is there any way to get rid of that?

It only recently started happening

Yes. Those aren't intentional but somethings they get through. Give as many details as you can (who's the ad for, the link url if you can get it, where it is on the site) and post a screen shot and I can typically get them blocked pretty quickly.

You can use this thread. I monitor it frequently. Ad issue

(It's hard for me to make out that image you posted. It would help if you can zoom out a bit in your next screenshot.)

Thanks for the input.

Yeah brother, I wish I could. That literally is the entirety of my screen. I’ve tried zooming out zooming back in, and it just occupies the entire view.

Working to keep VolNation the premier fan forum of the universe.

Breaking news is welcome as long as it’s not, CJH is leaving for Alabama. Or Tony V is going to Arkansas. We’ll have to burn out mattresses.
