Having recently been absorbed by The Continuum, I acquired an iPhone. I found 
the predictive text input to be disconcerting at first, but it speeds up the 
typing a lot.

It's still annoying to type anything other than lower case alphas. I haven't 
tried it yet, but trying to enter code on an iPhone seems like it would be hell. 
Maybe pairing it with a bluetooth keyboard will fix that.

But none of that would be improved with custom forum software.

That's the problem with custom forums instead of a standard protocol.
