Tapatalk is gone

[FredC]

or will be Monday. There is nothing else to discuss about it.

We would like to hear your opinions on improving the MB experience on mobile devices. If you have a suggestion, complaint, etc add it to this thread. Please incluse the device and browser you are using.

Edit: I will be actively pruning this thread to keep it on topic and useful for me....so if your post gets deleted (marty) dont cry about it

Would like the option to select the mobile site or the full site (yeah I know, lots of zooming and resizing) from my phone.

Almost forgot - R.I.P Tapatalk....

 

[FredC]

there is no mobile site...it is responsive


turn your phone sideways

Whats the down fall of keeping tapatalk?

I have no issues either way, has more to do with habit..

Too few users to continue to support it.
TT support sucks.
Lack of feature development/support for popular forum add ons.
Security issues.
Conflicts.
No longer needed with almost any phone today.

In the end the couple hundred dollars a month it generates wasn't worth keeping it around.

I have my issues and Fred has his..


Mine:
Users miss out on new posts and threads due to flaws in the TT system
User don't see auctions and raffles
Users don't see the advertising that pays to keep this board alive
User activity goes down when they use Tapatalk, statistics show.

 

[Becker]

So I guess they make their money off ads?

Funny how ad blind I am.

I agree with #2 or things for sale.

I just put a widget on my home screen and it goes directly to most resent post..I like it much better then tapatalk...
loads faster and I can see more....tapatalk was getting to glitchy...it would drop off trying to load up....

Welp, this will take a little getting used to but you're not getting rid of the Kid so easy!

I was just trying to get rid of Marty and Bruders...

Between Mr. Personality's ad money and my post count, you should be nicer to us. Without us, you'd be left only with Mr. Happy's Butler videos.

And that Mexican dude.

 

[Mikey P]

Bill would get my joke, you on the other hand are a bit deft.

I dont miss except for posting media and pics now I have to upload to photobucket, copy link, paste link! deffintely not going to be posting any pics spontaneously anymore. I always wondered why people didnt use the tapatalk feature for Pics so much better then upload a file.

with that, thats my only complaint! but I'm sure I'll find more.

 

[Zee]

Sam, why do you have to do photobucket to upload a picture?

You can just click upload a file and insert directly from you device.

 

[hogjowl]

One complaint. The mobile version does not display those who like my posts.

And yes, I DO occasionally receive a like!

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Turn your phone sideways.

 

[hogjowl]

Tried that already.

I don't think there is a mobile site here...it just responds to devices being held vertical-horizontal.

 

[hogjowl]

Does it matter if it's mobile or not?

 

[Zee]

Does it matter if it's mobile or not?

I guess it doesn't matter... Maybe, you really just didn't get that "like" you think you did.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

It works well on my Galaxy 5.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Does it matter if it's mobile or not?

Exactly the same experience. I dropped a "like"(they're cheap) on your post with the laptop, and it rather instantly showed up on the phone.

 

[Lefty724]

Just noticed this and logged in with my phones browser. I thought I was banned lol!

I use Tapatalk for all of my forum reading but Mikey is right about the classifieds and auctions. It wouldn't work with Tapatalk?

 

[SamIam]

Try to upload a pic

 

[dgardner]

For extra credit try to upload a pic right-side up!

 

[Zee]

Try clicking on this "Full image" after you attached your pictures and that way it will show up big instead of thumbnail.
