Now posting from Tapatalk, thank you very much! Darren

Thanks for the prompt reply, yes, if it is no problem to enable Tapatalk then that would be fantastic! It is nice to have all of my favourite forums in one place in one app. I will also keep an eye out for the dedicated app in the future to see what that is like.
