I frequently use my smartphone for catching up on thehulltruth and bloodydecks, but when i searched for this forum it could not be located. Can the adminstrator set this up so we can enjoy this new site when away from a computer?  The smartphone app is called Tapatalk. Thanks.

Yes it is possible to use the browser for veiwing the website, but Tapatalk is a specific app designed to make reading and posting in forums much easier than the browser. Give it a try if you have not, much better than using the browser.

With tapatalk those functions are available. All the forum administrator has to do is go to tapatalk.com and register the site. Takes only a couple minutes and would give more exposure to the site.

Please someone take care of this!

Thats where I went, the only problem's are

A)I don't know what system we are running...When I set up the site, through the host, I purchased the top end one they had because I thought it would handle the smart phones and the rest

B) I don't have a paypal account (long story, there bad not mine)

Sorry, I did put in a call to the web designer, but haven't heard back yet

He is great at getting everything on here that we want.... some things just take a little time for him to see...

Restrictions were in place that would not allow Anonymous acess to the New & Updated Topics section. I removed the restriction.

I mentioned TapaTalk to Mike in an e-mail a few weeks ago. I can integrate with their API to provide forum functions.

Since some of you guys have used it, I have a few questions. How intrusive is the Tapatalk branding for their free version? Is it loaded with advertisements? A license for a rebranded Tapatalk plugin, to brand it as Blackfin Forums, is $999 from Tapatalk. Do the other sites you use have the free version, or a rebranded version?

Just to clarify, the New & Updated Topics tab is visible on the home page, as it was before, were it is not visible, is on the home tab( No drop down menu)

 

so if you use your phone, you have to go to the home  page and then click on the New Topics tab. Basically, you have to wait for an additional page to load

 

 

Just wondering, do you think we should wait untill the site is up and running on Mikes server before we make a change that we might not need?

The last menu item, "New & Updated Topics" wouldn't show up if you weren't logged in, regardless of which device you were using. This was corrected last week, but you may need to simply refresh the page so it isn't loading from your phone's cache.

Otherwise, this could just be an issue of the display size. Maybe this menu item is below what is visible on your screen.

Since most of the development work is done, I'll be migrating the site from our testing / site development server to Mike's GoDaddy host tonight. I started the file tranfer and database setup today, but the file uploads are going really SLOW. Once everything is transfered, we'll make the switch at around 2:00 AM. The site will be offline at this time so that posts made during the migration are not lost.

I mainly use it for Bloodydecks.com, i havent noticed any intrusive ads, but i am not sure which version they use. Why not sign up for the free version for now and upgrade later if it is needed?
