#547475 - 12/18/10 06:21 AM Tapatalk?
trey Custom Title (50 characters max) Registered: 01/02/03 Posts: 5104 Loc: The Wizard's Balcony	I recently bought Tapatalk after finding out that another forum that I frequent is set up to use it. It's really cool, and makes browsing the forum on my iPhone WAY easier. So I was wondering... on the app. developer's page, it says that it's free for admins of certain boards to set up Tapatalk support for their forms. Would that be possible here? This forum in particular is pretty aggrivating to navigate on an iPhone. I mean, if it's free, and easy enough to do, why not!

carp Dino's are Babe magnets Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 27013 Loc: Hawaii	Great Idea Trey. I too when at the Apple Store posted to the forum off an iPhone - what a pain in the buttt, that was. Still doable . Question is; Since it seems like the forum has worked out many bugs they had before - does Neil really want to throw another Monkey in the jungle, so to speak ? ? _________________________

neil Neil Ticktin Registered: 06/05/08 Posts: 1076 Loc: Westlake Village, CA	Except that it doesn't support all forms of forum software (including ours), and it appears that it needs server support at a cost of $1000 or more. I'll reach out to them however as we may want to do something liek this at some point if we don't do a specific iPhone skin ourselves. _________________________ Neil Ticktin Editor-in-Chief/Publisher, MacTech Magazine Editor-in-Chief/Publisher, MacNews Check out: MacNews \| Mac Community Search \| Sponsored MacTech Magazine Subscriptions

Lea LoneStar Registered: 08/18/06 Posts: 10361 Loc: Texas	" . . . if we don't do a specific iPhone skin ourselves." Whoa! I totally vote you do the skin. OK, so obviously I have no idea how much work that might entail, but still . . . _________________________ I always deserve it. Really.

trey Custom Title (50 characters max) Registered: 01/02/03 Posts: 5104 Loc: The Wizard's Balcony	I just realized that in my reply to Neil, instead of quoting him, I posted a video of a freaking ladybug playing with sprinkles. Silly clipboard! That should have read: Originally Posted By: trey Quote: Except that it doesn't support all forms of forum software (including ours), and it appears that it needs server support at a cost of $1000 or more.

trey Custom Title (50 characters max) Registered: 01/02/03 Posts: 5104 Loc: The Wizard's Balcony	My only complaint with Tapatalk is that not enough forums that I care about are on it. I basically bought it to read the forums at apug.org. But it's worth it for that.

zwei soporific Registered: 06/26/04 Posts: 2479 Loc: Near an iPad	The way I read it was that it was a free plugin for compatible forums. I'm guessing the charge you are talking about comes from server support for non-compatible forums like this one? (ubb.threads) _________________________ zwei � twitter � Roku
