Forum Suggestion?
Forum Suggestion?
Hi,
Just a quick suggestion to the admins...
Why not put your forum on the Tapatalk iPhone app?
it enables us to check in on the move, i have set it up on my own phpbb forum and its actually very easy to implement.
Just a suggestion.... use it.... don't use it......

Hello Gareth,
Please tell me more about your suggestion. I would have thought that you could access our web site from the iphone, so what is the advantage?
Best wishes,
Alan

Re: Forum Suggestion?
I've had a look on the phpbb website and there seems there is nothing currently to use tappa talk on phpbb. As far as I know it just works with vbulletin based systems.

Hello Paul,
Welcome as our new Group Co-ordinator, please contact Harry to arrange transfer.
Your post above lost me, is there an advantage to a different method of iphone contact. My daughter has no problem with getting web sites on her phone, so presumably that would include the Forum as well as the rest of the pages on our web site?

Hi Alan and thanks for the welcome. Apparently all the handover stuff is currently touring Scotland with Mr Neathey but as soon as he's back I'll collect it and then call Harry
Basically tapatalk is an app that strips out all the forum design and signatures etc to give a basic text version of the threads. This means it's a lot quicker to load and takes a lot less of your data bundle. It is a good system and worthwhile for those that love their smart phones on the move like me.
I have now done a more detailed search and found that it is actually available for phpbb3! It just doesn't appear in the modifications database as its a 3rd party app but is in their forums. http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... &t=1650625
It's free for the websites but the app has to be bought by the user (currently £1.79) but quickly repays the individual back the investment in reduced time and data transfers. So no cost to the club and then its up to members if they want to buy the app and use it.
more info and the required forum plugin here: http://www.tapatalk.com/
All of the website and forum is indeed visible on smart phones but it is quite data heavy and if your not in a 3g or wifi zone can take a while to load.

Thanks Paul,

Re: Forum Suggestion?
The forum should now be on TapaTalk
Re: Forum Suggestion?
Yeah it just popped up when I logged in on my iPhone. So went to app store and everytime I try to buy it it starts to download and then says app is no longer available. Darn. Hope that's just a temporary glitch on apples behalf.
Well done on getting it on the forum though.

Lekka, glad it's working... Sorry I didn't give more info, but for some reason I didn't get an email when my post was replied to...
