I have a friend who has suggested that we install the TapaTalk (http://tapatalk.com/) plugin for SMF, as it would make the site much more usable on mobile devices. Sounds promising, and hopefully as trivial as any plugin installation could be. Any takers?
-
If the app was not a pay-for app, I think this would be a really good idea. But since it is, I'm not 100% sure it would really add all that much.
Comments and opinions?
-
Hmm, I see. Well, it's free to install, and anyone who does happen to shell out for it gets to benefit from it when viewing our site. I do wonder if there's any other alternatives though.

looks like there's only one mentioned so far...
=> http://www.forumrunner.net/ (free) EDIT: lies. It's only free for the forum. cost is $1.99 Still better than $2.99 for tapatalk but...

It's also only iPhone and Android and therefore can **** right off. :p

What do you have, Nokia? Or are you the other guy using WinMo like me?
-
I'm using a Blackberry myself.

I'm running Android on my phone and tablet (custom builds, naturally).
-
WinMo 6.5 here and hlp is a nightmare to navigate on either the built in IE or in opera. mainly due to the custom titles and signatures, if you ask me.
-
I used to use WinMo 6.5... :hate:
-
i have no wish to "upgrade" to androids since i found no app on it to actually be much more than a toy/requiring flat rate mobile internet :p
i'll grant you that the browser is better than winmo's options...

I'd like to bring this subject to the community's attention by posting here instead of creating a new thread.
I've been using TapaTalk for a new days and I really have to admit that it makes browsing forums much easier! I was kind of disappointed when I found out that HLP is not compatible with it, I did some search and the reasons why this hasn't been implemented yet are not sufficient, IMO. For those who don't know what TapaTalk is, take a look: http://www.tapatalk.com/

Tapatalk unfolds the great fun of internet discussions, helping you to discover intriguing discussions and photos on-the-go.

Yeah, I think there are more pressing issues with the forum software that should be dealt with first.
-
Since it appears to be free with an option for pro for most platforms (ipad isn't) and now has a windows phone, it's better than it was.
However, as pointed out, it's a very low priority as there are plenty of things still to do and not enough time to get them all done.
-
I understand there are other things to deal with right now, but even adding TapaTalk support to the to do list is fine. :)
Though smartphones completely replacing computers is a rather unlikely scenario, they're becoming so advanced their role can't be underestimated. I tried the mobile version of HLP and it's very nice, but trust me when I say that TapaTalk is much easier to handle (I use it with other forums).

Any chance to see it soon? :)

I'd love to see this implemented, as well.
