Mobile Phone Access iPhone/Android/Smartphones

Postby Johannes » 22 Jul 2011, 09:36

Dear all,

as there were some problems with the mobile access recently, now it should work again with Tapatalk again, which is really a nice App for iPhone&iPad&Android.

Overall I am very happy about increasing participation and I'm eagerly waiting for being able to get my hands on a NS2 to try out all those wonderful samples and patches.

Enjoy this summer!
Johannes

(EDIT: I had to remove support for touchbb due to security issues)

Hi Johannes,

Didn't find any other forum with this level of warmth, friendliness, looking... and structure efficiency! Congratulations Johannes, and many thanks for the efforts and time you devote to us :-)

Sorry, but I noticed that when I'm browsing this forum with Google Chrome the toolbar isn't visualized correctly. I hope you can fix the problem. ;-)

Maybe can you post a screen shot, and try CONTROL+F5 once to refresh the site from Cache. Thanks! ;)

I understand, also like the idea of freeware, in both senses. But it seems for forums on Mobile Devices tapatalk is the best working software so far, but it costs 3$, but at least you can use for many other forums.

Alternatives:
On Android, there is a free tapatalk client called Convo: http://www.androidpit.com/en/android/ma ... alk-client. (have not tested it!)
For 1800$ we could buy a tapatalk license and create our own App which then could be free for users, but thats about 600 licenses for tapatalk...not before 2020 I fear!
Potentially, a Mobile-optimized Version of the Website with autodetect might work, but this project is only in its beginning so far and will take some time (link). EDIT: Its not gonna work, pretty rudimentary code. You will have to use the standard website instead. Sorry.

On the Iphone/IPad, you might try TouchBB (from the Appstore or go to touchbb.php), there is a free version (only for full screen access on the iPad you have to pay). (have not tested it!)
EDIT: I just deactivated TouchBB since it is a bit problematic when it comes to security and as it it also not (anymore) for free, Tapatalk seems much more functional so decided to only go for this method. Anyway, there are already a lot of people using TAPATALK so should not cause too much trouble anyhow.

Bottom line, today, tapatalk is the industry standard in Mobile Forum Access, but there are some ways around at some cost in terms of functionality etc.

I've tried Convo free, but it doesn't have the option 'unread posts' enabled... so I'll have to pay :(

BTW, the Smilies are OFF in my posts although I have them enabled in my profile...

Apparently Tapatalk has some issues with smilies sometimes.
I just activated them on the whole board for the future and they should show in new posts ;-).
Smilies have pro and cons, well, if it doesn't clutter the wohle board should be OK so lets give it a try. Maybe even designing some special ones??
