Hey, there's this app in the appstore and android market that allows you to navigate and reply on forums easier called Tapatalk. It supports simple machines so I thought it might be cool to have this board on there, too. I think its free to do so, as well.

You can learn more here... http://www.tapatalk.com/

Someone suggested this before. As you probably know from the times it goes down when busy, the forum is pretty unstable at present. We've decided as a result to postpone any such plug-ins until the next version of SMF is officially released.

Cheers.

Any idea of a timeframe on this Dave? I'm a big fan of Tapatalk and this place is pretty much the only place I visit that has not yet implemented it.

Cheers.

which version of SMF are you waiting for? it's on 1.1.12 at the moment.

Obviously if it involves an upgrade & testing etc then I've no problem waiting a bit.

Dave · « **Reply #5 on:** Thursday 23 December 2010, 01:17:05 AM »

Version 2.0.

magpie418 · « **Reply #6 on:** Thursday 23 December 2010, 01:26:49 AM »

Ah ok, the 2.0 candidate is out so hopefully not too long.

Cheers fella.

Dave · « **Reply #7 on:** Thursday 23 December 2010, 01:29:03 AM »

Yeah, candidate 4. It's been in development since 2005 and they still won't say when it's going to be released.

Just install it man, if the forum crashes just blame Ashley.

Dave · « **Reply #9 on:** Friday 24 December 2010, 01:01:16 AM »

Doesn't work with the theme or current mods.

Andy · « **Reply #10 on:** Saturday 25 December 2010, 01:06:29 PM »

Aye, it's incompatible with Jonny Hall, we'll install it when he retires.

Adam^ · « **Reply #11 on:** Monday 30 May 2011, 04:04:47 PM »

Any update on this?

Having difficulty using this and wondering if there is another FAQ thread as there seems little in here.

Basically topics come up when I click unread, however sometimes it takes me to the first ever page in a thread and sometimes to the latest comment.

This is not thread specific as in the last few minutes I've been in the reserves thread twice and been to first ever comment and then latest comment.

Rich · « **Reply #14 on:** Friday 16 September 2011, 05:04:49 PM »

In the main Tapatalk app screen there is a "Settings" option at the bottom. Within that there's a "Thread" subsection, which has a "Loading Behaviour" option.

I've just set mine to "first unread" and it's working for me, although it takes slightly longer to load/scroll down to the right point. Try that.

Christmas Tree · « **Reply #15 on:** Friday 16 September 2011, 05:23:31 PM »

Cheers, I'll give that a go.

Rich · « **Reply #16 on:** Saturday 17 September 2011, 06:11:49 PM »

Did it work?

Christmas Tree · « **Reply #17 on:** Saturday 17 September 2011, 06:15:41 PM »

Works like a dream thanks Rich.

Rich · « **Reply #18 on:** Saturday 17 September 2011, 06:16:52 PM »

Get in there. Glad to hear it.

Dave · « **Reply #19 on:** Sunday 18 September 2011, 03:25:44 PM »

I've noticed that sometimes if you try going back into a thread you've already read you just get a blank screen.

Likewise. Just get username @ Newcastle-Online at the top and nothing else.

Have to refresh to get anything.

ToonTastic · « **Reply #21 on:** Monday 19 September 2011, 08:05:49 AM »

Change your refresh rate to always will probably work. Maybe don't do that if your using 3G though.

Dave · « **Reply #22 on:** Monday 19 September 2011, 02:48:00 PM »

Is there supposed to be something that tells you which threads have new posts in? The green thing rarely works, if it's meant to be that. And what do the numbers mean?

It's alright this, but nowhere near as good as made out to be.

Dave · « **Reply #23 on:** Monday 19 September 2011, 02:51:32 PM »

And why does it always show what's in the first post? Utterly useless.

Rather than go in the forum tab, I stay in the latest tab which only has threads with new posts in. Once you've read it they drop out. You simply swipe the screen down to reload more new comments.
