    Default Making the forums more mobile device friendly?

    I don't about you guys but i sometimes use my itouch to view forums online and its a pain for the pages to load up, so while i was looking at another forum, i found tapatalk(http://www.tapatalk.com/). I used the app and the loading time was waaaaaay faster with it, was wondering if people would actually use it if implemented(also requesting forum owner(s) if he/she could try to implement it).

    E: If this is the wrong section for this could a mod/admin please move it.

    Try disabling image loading. it should speed up loading times tremendously.



    The best way to contact me is by email, which you can find on my website: http://wizzup.org
    I also get email notifications of private messages, though.

    If I had the money to pay for it, then i'd try it out
    It looks better and more usable, i'm not sure if i'd like it though.

    Try the PDA archive version. http://villavu.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-64101.html
    I agree though that the regular forums are very mobile unfriendly (I believe some pages are even bigger than 1MB ). Turning off image loading is a workaround, but it isn't very convenient.

    I disagree with stealing from good developers with a good product, after I know it's worth the money! (Usually)

    So this a yes or no from the owner(wt-fakawi i think it is?)

    Note: Doesn't have to be tapatalk, just needs to be more mobile friendly.

    Tapatap would be nice; a better mobile style would be even better!

    I hate browsing these forums on my droid, it's pretty painful...

    just to put a lighter under someone's ass that feels like getting this done:
    FAQ from Forum Owner:

    Q: How much does it cost?

    A: As a forum owner you are free to activate Tapatalk in your forum, and you are free to remove/deactivate it anytime you want to.

    Q: Which forum system does it currently support?

    A: Currently phpBB3 3.0.x, vBulletin 3.6.x/3.7.x/3.8.x/4.x, xenForo 1.0.X, Invision Power Board (IPB) 3.x, Simple Machine Forum (SMF) 1.1.11+/2.x and MyBB 1.4/1.6 are supported. You can also look for other forum system plugin developed by third party developers using Tapatalk API at our Developer Support forums

    Q: I have multiple forums, Can I activate more than one forum?

    A: Yes, you can and additional forums are free also.

    Q: What's the point of this app if my members can access my site with mobile skin or Safari at no cost?

    A: We received a lot of feedback from users that they want a dedicated app on their smartphone. Most users are contented with the mobile skin or a standard web browser but some of them would appreciate a full-on native app on their phone. For example Tapatalk app allows user to upload photo directly from their phone to your forum as an image attachment. We are also rolling out Push Notification support so it helps your members to stay in touch with your forums while on-the-go.

    Q: Do you do rebranding / private white label for my forum?

    A: Yes, please visit our rebranding page for more information

    Q: I already have my own app developed, can I add Tapatalk into my app?

    A: Yes, please visit our rebranding page for more information as we provide branding as a in-app module.

    Q: How does the Tapatalk Plug-in work with my forum system security?

    A: The Plugin is designed to inherit all security policies from your forum system. For example, if a specific sub-forum is a restricted access, the Tapatalk iPhone client would not be able to access it unless the logging member has the authority to access it.

    Q: Is this service compatible with all other 3rd party modifications that I have installed on my forum system?

    A: While we don't guarantee the Tapatalk Plugin will work with all your existing modification. It allows you to experiment the compatibility with our free Lite version. We have tested with many forums with certain degree of modifications and majority of them work well with Tapatalk. Support for modified forums are courtesy basis only and we will not provide refund or any trouble-shooting if it is found that your modification caused the Tapatalk from working as designed.

    Q: My organization also developed a forum system, how I can make it compatible with the Tapatalk app so our customers / members would be able to use the same app to access?

    A: You can access our Tapatalk API with full documentation on how to bridge your forum system with Tapatalk app support.
