I'm in the process of converting this site to allow a more mobile friendly look for those who like to use their phones or tablets. When that's done, I'll be doing away with the Tapatalk converter. There are bugs in Tapatalk that I've never liked, and it uses more resources than I like. I've also never been a big fan of 3rd party apps piggy-backing off of things.
This will all be happening this week at some point. Stay tuned...
-
I used to love Tapatalk on my iPhone 5, it was great for catching up on my commute but since upgrading to an iPhone 6 it's become so difficult with streaming adds that use up all my data.
I won't be sorry to see it go

I've basically got two forums I engage. One for each of my costly areas of interest, Motos and Guitars. Tried tapatalk way back when, and quickly abandoned the experiment. On my phone I simply keep a tap open in the browser (chrome) and refresh 'unread posts'. Works a treat.
Can't say it enough, thanks Luap for keeping after it in terms of maintaining the technology and 'ecosystem' we all enjoy.

I don't use it.
Did once.
Not anymore.
Won't miss it

Thank you, tried it, didn't like it, moved on. appreciate you constantly working to keep this an enjoyable experience!
-
Never tried it so no loss to me.
OTOH, Thanks Luap and the others working in the background to keep things running smooth. :bow: :boozing:

I liked it, I have lots of interests, belong to lots of forums...
really a easy way to browse all of them, but typically I dont spend much time on them during the summer.
Ducati
Vintage motorcycles
Moto Guzzi
Cafe racers
Mustangs
Miatas
mountain biking & dirt jumping
ADV forum
Autocross
but this forum I typically visit from work.
tapatalk makes it really easy to upload pics from your phone.
-
Good riddance! Thx Luap.
-
I tried it, then stopped.
The only real drawback of using the webpage is the tiny type face showing the author of each post (not to mention Roper's use of a nearly invisible yellow font for some reason). If you fix that with the new version, I can't imagine any complaints at all! Good move.
-
I've enjoyed Tapatalk, and have it on our SoCal PGR site. Always seemed stable enough to me, although we have other issues with the automated email on an SMF forum - but that's a whole other issue.
I find it handy, but if it's causing you issues, then who am I to complain?
As long as the new mobile friendly site keeps the stark black and white, high contrast readability, I'm golden with what ever you do.

Yup, when ADV become mobile friendly I dumped TT

Tried it a few time but didn't like it. Thanks for keeping everything going.

Ok. The mobile conversion is complete. If you have a smartphone, check out the new look. Or, you can even "scrunch" your screen size on your computer too, and that will give you an idea of how it looks mobile.
That said, the TapaTalk app has been disabled.
Thanks,
Luap

Tapatalk gone, you say? iPhone says otherwise. :laugh:
Looks good.

Doesn't look good on my iPad.

I never said it was "gone". I said it's been disabled. I'll completely eliminate when I finish finding all the bits and pieces this thing has attached itself to.
Your iPad image looks normal to me.

Now, it's gone :-)

Mobile (Iphone) views are still a little wonky, seems to have compressed the columns a bit and stacked the information...will give it a few more days to see if it settles down.

Yep, it's hard to fit all that information onto a little screen. It's as good as it's going to get I'm afraid.

Actually it was working perfectly on the Iphone before the change, everything was nicely formatted on the screen, no weird column compression before.
But not a big deal...thanks again.
-
It’s easier to read them now than before ( on my iPhone)
-

Er..no. Text is about 0.75mm. I now have to zoom in to read it. I normally use Chrome, but as there is no way to adjust font-per-website, I'll either have to zoom or change browsers and futz with settings. Inconvenient.

agree, not complaining just reporting that now on my iphone I have ads at top and in the middle of thread posts that didn't appear before. don't see them on macbook tho.

Was wondering about the different look on my android.
-
Glad I never too the time for that :laugh:
-
I like the layout better on my Android phone.
If possible, it would be great to have the text of messages wrap to the next line when a window is made narrower. As it is, I have to zoom out to see each line of text as a whole, and the type face is then almost impossible to read, on my phone.
I know it must be frustrating to deal with programs over which you don't have complete control.
But thanks for all your efforts.

Bummer. I much prefer Tapatalk, better format, multiple forums in one place, instant hosting and linking of photos.
Ironically this new format is much worse on my Android. On some threads I now have to zoom out (making text unreadable) to see the full text on each line or manually scroll the screen back and forth in each line to see it all.
I haven't figured out the pattern yet.
-
It's the best it's ever been on my Android.. thanks, Luap! :thumb:

Just like motorcycles I reckon. No two are alike and the results of each differ. I've done all I can do to make it useable across platforms. If it don't work out for you, sorry. I can't do anymore for it. So, it is what it is.
Tapatalk is great for the end user, but a complete and utter nightmare for me. It's a constant hassle, constant hack attempts keeping me way more busy than I care to be lately. For an app, it sure used a ton of resources. I had no choice.

So the little show new new replies to my posts & show unread posts thingys are gone
Was that intentional? I like list all unread alot....
-
Hated Tapatalk, and I like the new layout much better (FireFox on Android 8.1). Thanks!

If you click the sign in box it will appear.

Yeah, looking at WG on my Android Galaxy S4 is a little inconvenient, now. Too much zooming and scrolling to try and read the posts.

Works perfect on my Samsung S8+...never cared for Tapatalk

Whatever works to cut down on trolls and those that don't pay to help Luap defray operating costs. :thumb:

So......how does one get the mobile version?

If you pull up the board on your smartphone, you'll have it automatically.

All those who are having problems with the display, please send me a screenshot to luap@wildguzzi.com. A screenshot with a dot or arrow about what you are referring to including type of phone / browser they are using will help a lot. People on laptops / PCs should see the forum as they normally would.

I just turned on the "Desktop Site" setting on my Moto Z Android and it's mostly fine now.

Thanks Kev.
I just checked the "Desktop Site" box in the menu, and now the threads appear with no scrolling right required.

The template has been adjusted again. So for those of you experiencing problems, have another look and let me know how it works out.
-
looks good for me.

Looks pretty good to me.....unless someone posts a large photo or long web link. Then I have to scroll left and right. I tried the "Desktop Site" option and it made it too small to be useful.....on my phone anyway. Tablet works pretty good.
-
Was okay till just recently.....within last couple of posts. Now I have to scroll right again. :tongue:

What the hell is Tapatalk?

Maybe I am better off not knowing.

The post format will no longer fit in my phone, regardless of which way I turn it, IPhone 6, and when I attempted to swipe to read or reply it creates issues, which right now are aggravating to deal with. I'm sure I'll adjust and realize any changes to the forum was in our best interest. Not complaining just offering my situation and open to assisted if applicable, I'll adjust and adapt.
-

You're right!

Whatever just happened, please undo it. I can't even zoom it anymore. It's virtually impossible to read now.

What phone are you using? The new format fits 95% of the smart phones out there...Also, a screenshot would be awesome.

Phone is OK. It's my iPad. Actually, it's just Chrome on my iPad. I can zoom with Safari, but not Chrome.
Weird. :shocked:
Edit: I tried desktop and mobile mode. No zoom on either with Chrome.

Zoom has been re-added now. You might have to refresh.

This is what I get and trying to make it smaller to fit the screen is impossible for me to accomplish. Sometimes it's not this large.

Either have to scroll over or it is to small to read the text.

Sorry guys. It is impossible for me to get it to work across all platforms. I'll have to settle for 90%. I'm not doing anything else with this for a while. I regret the day I ever even installed Tapatalk and spoiled you all :evil:
