Charles,

Have you had a chance to look into this to see if it could be installed here, or were there still some security concerns with it?

I can see it from both sides. On one hand you're helping the Tapatalk company sell their software, without any monetary compensation. On the other hand, by supporting Tapatalk on your forum, your users who either already have that application or try it will be more likely to frequent and post on the forum, thus increasing traffic. You're providing them a convenience. You also have exposure to more people by being listed in the Tapatalk forum database. It doesn't display banner ads, so I can see how that might be an issue for some sites, but I don't think that will be a problem for this forum. Also, it seems there must be a way if you wish to turn off the pop up when you view a Tapatalk enabled web forum on a mobile device. I know that the Glock Talk forum supports it, but I don't get that pop up when I visit it in Safari on my phone. I do see it on some other forums.

Having a mobile theme or skin can help with the formatting, but it still doesn't allow you to use some of the more advanced features like upload picture attachments, at least not on the iPhone.

Right now probably at least half of my browsing and posting on this forum is done on my iPhone. I don't have a problem paying the $2.99 for the full version of the software for my phone. They spent the time developing it, and I think it's well worth the price for the convenience it provides. I too wish I had thought of it first :)

Charles, thank you for taking the time to look into it.

Charles,

Have you/would you consider installing the Tapatalk plugin for phpBB? It's a plugin that allows iPhone, Android, and Blackberry phones to use the Tapatalk native app for interacting with phpBB and other types of web forums. It eliminates the need for zooming and scrolling and makes reading and posting much easier from the phone.

The phpBB plugin is free and looks like it should be a fairly easy install. Their website is located here:

The other two gun forums I follow already support it and it would be great if I could use it for TexasCHLForum too.

Thanks,
Brian
