App for forum?

Hope this solves your problem.

That’s the ‘Events’ app for Diabetes UK’s professional conferences. It isn’t connected to the forum and uses completely separate log-ins for conference delegates I’m afraid.

That makes sense as my user name and password will not let me access, I just thought they look so similar. I’ll be sure to look at the stay logged in! Thank you for your help guys! X

Your question about an app is a reasonable one.

It is, since there's a finite number of frameworks for building forums and I'm sure some of them have apps and I guess either you could use the same app for all instances or it could be relatively easily modified for each instance (since different forums will be customised a bit). Unfortunately it looks like this one by XenForo (judging by the footer) doesn't.

(And maybe I'm wrong about apps for forums, and instances just vary too much for it to be practical to share an app over multiple ones.)

I think that forums as a social media tool have started to die away since the popular days of the turn of the century just as the app culture has exploded. That might go some way to explaining any lack of suitable apps.

It's cause this forum got the DUK branding a few years ago. A lot of organisations do this so their "products" look the same. It's corporate branding.
I don't know about the app, however there is a bit of separation (was more I think) between DUK website and the forum.

There is is another Forum called Diabetes.co.uk, totally separate from this one it has a red banner and background. Some people get them mixed up.

Like this forum (and DUK generally) has a sepecific blue as it's colour, that other forum is very red.
