Hi

Yesterday I've installed the Tapatalk forum mod. I didn't know it before, but apparently it can give the forum a nicer look on phones and other small devices.

If you test it, please report any problem, as I can't try it myself (it needs a special app). There's one thing I'm not sure of: does it show the english boards only, or both english and french (since they are basically on the same forum, and split by a mod)?

Additionnally, it would be nice if someone could upload some screenshots :D

Thanks again, it's way better than having to constantly zoom in and out with the normal mobile browsers... ;)

I only see the English forums but I did see the French unread posts, but they didn't wanted to load (maybe because I've never signed in at the French forum).
As you can see on one of the screenshots the code tag doesn't get translated, but I guess one can live with that, or would you know a way to fix this? (Funny also that the code blocks are closed with a quote tag... ??? ).

Here you go with some screenshots from my Samsung Galaxy S 2 (and since I'm Swiss, the text is set to German) [Album]:

Nice, thanks for the screenshots!

Great. So maybe I can register the french forum now (will be seen as a separate forum on tapatalk).

I have no idea what's wrong with the code tag, I don't know if it can be fixed.

Dunno what about the Android app but.. as for iPhone Tapatalk costs 2,39€ (and I couldn't find a free lite version). I'll for sure not pay this as I find the web version of the forum already quite good.

Yes it's not the cheapest app, but when you're using your phone quite a lot, the zooming, 'aim-clicking' and random browser crashes in the middle of writing something can get very annoying. So instead of buying the expensive croissants/coffee at the train station for once, one could spend the money on an app. ;)
The whole 'that costs waaay too much'-discussion is often quite stupid if one think about what you buy everyday and actually don't need it or could get away much cheaper.
But that's now kinda off-topic. Everyone has to evaluate on their own if the few bucks are worth it or not. ;)

Works great! For Android you can use Convo, which is free.

Well it's more about "would I want to pay for this" rather than "would it worth it" :P
And I know I don't want to pay for this :)

Would it be possible to update the logo for the Tapatalk forum listing (not sure where one would have to change that).

And since it might be annoying to people that don't want to use Tapatalk you could remove the popup on mobile devices.

Yeah, I really hate those popups, especially since they also appear when browsing "supported" forums on a tablet, where you won't really need that app.
