Has anyone heard of Tapatalk? If not, here is why it should be added to the Blank Media Games Fourms!

Basically, its a free app that lets you view Forums/Blogs easily and no hassle! Also, if subscribed to a thread, it will send notifications straight to your phone when a reply appears. With the no hassle but, what it does it copies over the text and user data into its own template (No data stolen, just copy and paste) and sorts it out into a nicely layed out form.

It works on many fourms so you can join as many as you'd like. Also, Tapatalk has a whole page on how to add it to phpBB here!
https://tapatalk.com/activate_tapatalk.php?plugin=phpbb

Hope you guys take it into consideration!

Also, this is how the Town of Salem Forums would be layed out! (Hope you like my pictures I made!) :D

Not at the moment, no. Why I am asking the devs to add it!

From the amount of time you spent advertising this crap up and down the forums you could easily pass for a spambot.

The devs have stated that they will not be installing any 3.0 "mods" because they are way too difficult to install and maintain. However, once they upgrade to 3.1, it now turns into a "plugin" system that can be handled quite easily.

Iggy, note I also used one of your posts in the Example Pictures! To be honest, the only reason I used you is just so that I could use that Obama on a Narwhal picture! :D

Only problem with 3.1 is that mod developers will have to start fresh and there's been some turmoil in the mod community.
Basically though, any larger mods will probably take longer to make it to 3.1 as well as it's not even that hard to manage right now with AutoMod and XMod...
But I'm not a forum admin I have no say!

The forum icons also tend to bug when on mobile. I have some screen shots of my phone with then which I need to upload. Things like titles and avatars pretty much.

Just going to bump this because I'd really enjoy either having Tapatalk or a mobile compatible theme. (Bootstrap maybe? Pls)

Dont have the app on my phone. But if it make the forums this easily accesible, I dont see a reason why not to get it.

This could give me a chance to review the forums at a number of spaces, most importantingly in my lecture room (during breaks, of course! :D)

Hmm, we'll need a lot more people to see this thread to make it happen!

Spread the word maybe? :D

This would make it easier for people who mainly use mobile, but I never use my phone for the so it wouldn't affect me at all. Cool idea though.

I mainly use my mobile so I would still support this. Like a Artodia design or something. Deluxe maybe or the just mobile one

This is SO OLD!

How did you even find this to necro it?

Either way, I'd be cool with this. Wouldn't necessarily use it, but if it's more convenient I would.
