Bababui Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Its a real pain in the butt to read the forums on a smartphone. After reading a thread the page goes all the way back to the top...necessitating a long finger-sprint through the stickies and the read threads. The solution? Tapatalk. Software designed to make forums easy to navigate on a smartphone. And its free and loaded with many other excellent forums. SI....would you please take this suggestion into consideration?

Administrators Neil Brock Posted October 28, 2015 Administrators Share Posted October 28, 2015 Doesn't do that for me when viewing the mobile view for the forum. Are you clicking 'back' once finished reading a thread? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bababui Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Yes I am. I don't see a place to get back to the forum. I might be missing something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted October 28, 2015 Administrators Share Posted October 28, 2015 Just use the 'back' functionality within your browser, not the forum itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bababui Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 That's what I do. I don't see a back icon on the page. Couldnt hurt to give Tapatalk a quick once over? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameuss Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Sure this was suggested in a thread years and years ago. Can probably find it with a search. I'm sure they said back then they were looking to update the forum software, and they did on this platform. Maybe they evaluated the new system and didn't like it, or maybe they just haven't bothered. It's been put on the table before though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBarbaric Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 it is si trying to tell you to forget the forum and move to social media ;D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 No, it really isn't Mbarbaric.. The forum is and will continue to be an important tool for us and SI i'm sure . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR866Gunner Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 6 months on and still no real update re this, more and more people use TT. Are SI concerned the traffic will increase too much? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 No, afaik there are technical limitation that SI do wish to resolve & the last response was a month ago, not six. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted November 26, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 26, 2015 We've already got a mobile skin - I don't know what further benefit having tapatalk could have? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxmAfc Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I would like it on Tapatalk as it would be easier to access but that's just me being too lazy to go on chrome and create a bookmark. Would be awesome on tapatalk as I use it a lot but wouldn't stop me using the forum if it wasn't made compatible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR866Gunner Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Lets get some traction on this! SI Please investigate this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bababui Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 One great benefit of tapatalk is that you can have access to all your forums in one centralized place. And the text size is easily readable without lots of fidgeting around. There is no downside to SI making its forums available on tapatalk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vangto Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Just had a search for this very topic. I use Tapatalk to view and comment on several forums, it is so much easier than having to use websites on desktop or phones. Having all your forum feeds in one place is amazing and such a time saver and in general more user friendly. Reason I don't participate in forums so much is because it is a pain but since using Tapatalk it is much easier and more efficient. I hope SI bring this at some point.

yugo23 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I hope you will add Tapatalk support soon. Some topics here are heavy with text and photos, and not even mobile skin is enough for easy browsing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR866Gunner Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Agreed and the popularity will increase too giving FM a bit more visibility and make the community a more vibrant and active place with less stale threads lying about all over the place! I have wanted this implemented since 2012 when I first started using Tapatalk (maybe earlier) so please consider! Would it really harm the SI servers??

Marathon Dress Week Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 No thanks. It really winds me up to have to read "Sent via tappytalk" every 10 seconds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted July 18, 2017 Administrators Share Posted July 18, 2017 There's no plans to add Tapatalk functionality at this time, and there isn't a version I believe compatible with the latest version of Invision Power Board anyway. We feel like the mobile site works well as is, but appreciate people do want it and will take the request into consideration. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
