Is the forum set up for this app?
Title: Re: Tapatalk...
Post by: FinsnFur on September 20, 2012, 10:29:25 PM
Not as of right now. Mainly cause no one has realized it's available and asked for it.
If more people reply to this topic and have a use for it, I'd be more then happy to install and integrate it. :eyebrownod:

Not to make more work for you Jimbo but the App is great.  I am a member of 2 forums and the other one just made tapatalk available.  Its so much easier browsing, posting and everything from your phone. It is for every smartphone out there. I didnt know anything about it until the other forum did it and I tried it out.  No need for zooming anymore or anything.

How does it work?  :confused:

I check this site occasionally  from my Android phone.  It is kind of a pain to do though.

Ditto.

What is it (break it down "dummy" style please) and how does it work??

It's basically an APP that turns forums mobile sorta speak. Easier accessed I should say.
You all know how visiting the forum from a cell phone kind of sucks. Actually you can always use the WAP address anyway, with or without Tapatalk.
The WAP address is accessed buy scrolling down to the bottom of the page...all the way down...yep further down yet....and clicking on WAP2.
THAT basically turns the forum mobile for you.

But...
Here's the Tapatalk page (http://www.tapatalk.com/faq.php) that explains what tapatalk is.

Here is pretty much what it would look like on your iPhone, Android and Blackberry if using Tapatalk.

Same here. A LOT of my time on here is thru my phone. I've seen people using it on other forums but didn't really know what it was or how it worked.

The Tapatalk app costs $2.99 for my android phone.

Pretty dang high.  I could almost buy a Dead Coyote shell with that money.   :argh:

It is by far worth the $.  Is it expensive on your end Jimbo?

Yeah, I looked it up too. $2.99. It won't break the bank, I'm just kinda leary about the security of sending my credit card # to an APP store somewhere in the world thru my phone. :fingerx:

Doesnt cost anything here. I download their forum add-on package and install it into our forum software, then create an account over there to manage it.

I went through the motions and set it all up, but I dont know if it respects our forum permissions or not. It asked me if I wanted to block any forums from Tapatalk users and obviously I selected "NO"...but you guys will have to tell me if it lets you into forums you havent been able to see before, like the mods forum. Careful in there Baxter runs around with his shirt off.

So I am assuming that this is up and running.  I logged in on an iPad and got the message that there is an app for the site I was going to.

Thanks Ben.

Yeah Jerry, you'll need the Tapatalk app on your device to access the site through Tapatalk.
And if I'm not mistaken, the app is downloaded thru iTunes?....is that right? 

My phone is an LG so I guess it's too antique. The app right now is for iPad, iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Chrome.

I cant find it on my tapatalk. when i first logged in it said it was available and when i went to it it went to tapatalk page. I already had it installed though and just gave me the open option. I hit open and it went to my normal page where my other forum is an option. I went to search and tried to search for us but its not listed

It shows the forum online and available via the Tapatalk network, Denver. :shrug:
4 people have been on via Tapatalk, and one person posted from Tapatalk.
Unfortunately I'm not going to be a lot of help cause my phone dont even know what it is.  :laf:

I edited out "Sent from my MB865 using Tapatalk 2" before posting and hope I can find away to permanently delete it. If not paying for it sucks.

It is a cool app though. It has all functions as using the desk top even moderator buttons.

Edit to add signature can be changed in settings.

We have a 2 GB shared plan. How much will this APP eat into that plan if I use it a couple times a day?
Title: Re: Tapatalk...
Post by: CCP on October 29, 2012, 07:18:56 AM

I have not looked to see what it is using because I still have unlimited data. I did a reset on my phone Sunday so I can't really tell what data has been used this quick. I will check it in a few days and see if someone has not answered yet.

One thing is it keeps you logged in most of the time and people see you logged in and think your home on the computer and think your dodging them when you don't answer your phone.

Glen here a screen shot of what TapaTalk 2 used today from the network. I was however around some wifi today so it could have used more. It looks like it uses more data than I thought it would.

I will look through the settings and see if there is a way for you to limit its data use. It seems to keep me logged in and active all the time. Ed (weedwalker) said he seen me logged in another site at 2 am but I was asleep then.

I will also check with the police and make sure Ed ain't stalking me just in case. ;D

Semp you probably got it figured out by now..

You will find during the day sitting in the hair saloon doing a quick check of the boards. Or sitting in your easy chair its much easier to pick up the phone and check the boards than going to the computer. Its like having the board in your text messaging app..
