haven't used it. The app is a few bucks on itunes but I would buy it. I think I may actually - it would make forum surfing much easier.

I cannot understand the App Happy iPhone. I have a Windows based phone and an Android phone. Neither requires an Application that I must purchase to visit and participate in this or other forums.

The iPhone doesn't require it.

The browser option is just difficult to read or compose on. An app re-formats it to be easy to read and write on the boards.

Yep, I regularly read, post and surf the forum from the browser on my iPhone and iPad without issue. I have heard that it is more difficult to do if you have big fingers.

I still think time would be better sent installing one of the plug-ins that allow for a separate mobile formated portal. This would provide properly formated forum viewing to all smartphone platforms.

Yes, it works, but it's the difference between looking at it like this:



or, like this:



Yes, you can pinch to zoom and scroll around in the first example, but the application makes it much faster and more convenient by formatting it for the smaller screen.

I want to do this, but the gist of the thread so far implies to me that it may generate problems for the website. If this is correct, I don't want to do that.

I think tapatalk should fix their software so it works without forum administrators having to change anything.

[BrianSW99]

I don't think that's very feasible. There are too many variations in forum themes to be able to parse the information correctly on every forum. There are already a couple of apps in the iTunes store that attempt to do that and mostly fail at it.

From what I understand Tapatalk takes the threads and posts and turns it into an XML format that is then read by the Tapatalk application to display on the phone in a mobile friendly format. The module is needed to be able to get the raw data without all the extra html formatting you see in the browser.

Is this screen shots of the TapaTalk Forum app?

The first is a screenshot of the the way this forum looks in Safari on the iPhone. The second is a screenshot of the TapaTalk app viewing The High Road forum.

I think the Admin has to enable the Tapatalk feature on the forum, and there are still bugs from what I have heard. Maybe once it is stable Charles will be able to pur it on the forum.
