    So today I became a "full" member on the site (thank you Peter for approving this).... I was just wondering if there's an app I can use to access the forums whilst i'm on the go...? I had a brief look earlier whilst waiting for a panel to upload, but found the PC version of the forum MUCH better to use.... How do you access the forum easiest when on-the-go?

    Hi there, I'm Alex (new to the world of forums etc) Been an alarm engineer since leaving school in 2008, working in Southern England. Recently started to get into fire panels too, so with the help of you ol' lot might make a decent engineer yet! Looking forward to becoming a "proper" member of the forums once I pluck up the courage to send a pic in of my (horrendously bad) ID card! in advance!
