Thoughts on tapatalk - and forum mods - any chance of installing it?

[CrazyCoder]

You need to add it to the network, otherwise users will not be able to find and use it.

Alright, it's added now

Thanks a lot, seems to work fine.

Works great!

Makes a huge difference to using the forum on mobile devices. Thanks for finding a way to get it installed Jeff :-D

I got it installed

For those using Tapatalk on the forum, please turn off the automatic signature line that the app posts.

Well. Now that I have a use for it besides focus fanatics I've reinstalled it. It's going to get a workout now.

Tapatalk HD is now available for Tablets.

Using this exclusively for all forum activity, and it works great.

I had it on beta, then bought when released last week.
Still riddled with bugs though - just reported one yesterday, you can delete a PM then it will randomly re-appear. Only way to get rid - use the non hd app.
It is better looking and has now become the main one I use now though.

was looking at this yesterday..... is it really worth it vs just accessing via normal chrome browser? Can't make my mind up whether worth using up my remaining free Google credit on this.

Yes - definitely easier if you use forums a lot.
If you're more occasional use then no.
Its just easier to read and navigate.
I'll take a few screen shots for you

If you're using a tablet 7"or larger you'd be better with HD app.
If on a phone the standard Tapatalk app is required.
The standard app works with both tablets and phones but doesn't look as good, whearas HD will only work on a tablet.

thanks Nik - I was worried about it not looking good in portrait........ but looks fine. Think will give it a go.

Yep, it makes using forums fun.

Wouldn't be without this app. Even, as Nik rightly says, it is still full of bugs.

Got it for 99c as a reward for beta testing it.

been using it for last few days and really like it on the nexus - very good. Only problem, I really should have checked which forums supported it first. I never dreamt AVFORUMS would not support it 2 of my regular forums don't support it, which is a shame.

Time to get on their forums and do what we did here. ;-) Unless someone else has already tried and failed.

there are pages and pages of complaints over several years on their forum. Sadly the tapatalk plugin is not compatible with AVFORUMS search code (causes server to crash). Despite working with the developers, AVFORUMS opted to create their own mobile app for browsing. Works great but means no tapatalk support

Just a heads up that Gord updated the plugin to the very latest vBulletin version available (4.3.1)

Consequently, you now have many more notification preferences you can configure:

Long tap the triangle on the subscribed forum in Tapatalk HD and you can get to this menu.

Thanks for updating the plugin, Gord.
