TapaTalk or forum app?

[[deleted] @[deleted] Guest]

I like the idea of tapatalk but I’m not keen on our members paying them for a version of the app which allows them to post and reply. There is an alternative from vBulletin which I’ve been considering with the added benefit of being available for iPhone and Android but it’s 200USD. Still is there really a need for a native app? My phone Android phone has no problem displaying the forums…

Dr Bunsen,

Been an age since I have been on here, I miss browsing and getting involved but my better half doesn’t like me in the laptop all the time. I use tapatalk on my phone and it makes forums easy, however you dont have partyvibe available on there. Not sure what it takes, I miss here and am not really keen on squatjuice (the only other party site on that phone app)

Hope its something you can sort 😉

Much love

Lee

Last time I looked tapatalk was free to browse but you had to pay to be able to post or reply…

Doesn’t that solve it? the line where it says its a free add on?

Also PV available where ever you have mobile phone signal in a mobile device optimised way? raaa

If enough people vote in favour I’ll look into buying the vBulletin app…

Found it! However no offense meant to Dr B but that is shit! It is just as bad as the full site, a huge amount of zoom needed and a lot of scrolling. Many sites have a mobile version that is very usable on a mobile device but this seriously isnt! Its not like my phone screen is small as I am on a SGSII

I have to agree; HTC Desire and the native browser experience is fine and dandy.

I put yes because I want SL back … I’d of said no otherwise.

Like Sinna said … down the bottom right of the page you can change the P.V. settings to “Mobile” what should optimize this forum for mobile devises.

Doesnt work on mine, when i press the mobile option the page reloads and its back on boom again. I wonderd what that tapa talk send me here nonsense was at the bottom of their posts was about

My like button and edit button doesnt work for me any more. It makes a noise when i press them and a blue outline appears around them, but nothing happens

I can use pv in the non-native browser for my blackberry {its called BOLT if anyone else has a browser issue with the BB} works well enough for me 🙂

s2 is lush, bit light though for my liking. Would still rather like one though
