Do you use tapatalk on your forum, and how do you find it?.

[shamzblueworld]

Actually I just saw tapatalk for mybb mod last night, Have not used it yet, do you have any experience?

[Bananaman]

Well I've just downloaded the app and installed the mod on my phpbb forum so not yet. I'll steel you when I have used it properly.

I am just new to this Tapatalk if you could explain what it does?

Tapatalk Is a Mobile app for Accessing forums.

Personally I would not install Tapatalk on any forum I run or help manage - http://forumpromotion.net/forum/viewtop ... t=Tapatalk

Number 1 was specific to FP but the rest is why I would not consider using it elsewhere. Also while it as an older version of Tapatalk, it was listed in a list of known vulnerable plugins on the MyBB forum earlier this year - http://community.mybb.com/thread-133659.html It does show that the plugin can be and has in the past introduced security issues.

I much prefer mobile styles as they are just a skin on top of the normal forum rather than a script that runs separately from the main forum. For this reason mobile styles are more secure and offer better compatibility with mods/plugins.

Thanks for that info, I'll uninstall Tapatalk.

Nice info Fowler.

However even bore the security risks, and other information, I would have never installed tapatalk on any of my forums.

The app use to be a paid app. TO make users pay for a THIRD PARTY APP to be able to use our FREE forums on mobile seems really useless, and annoying. I would just have installed or made a mobile friendly theme, or have the main theme responsive for mobile devices.

No need for any third party mods or addons what so ever.

I also seem to recall someone on FP saying at one time that tapatalk wasn't good with administration/moderation duties? It wasn't in that feedback thread, though, it was in the managing and monetizing your forum section, and it was a general discussion thread about tapatalk, much like this one. I've heard more negative things on this feature than positive, so I would never install it on any forum I owned.

Thanks for the useful input Fowler, I also was hasitant to use it as it was a seprate script, but your input now has made me sure not to use it.
I'll be looking for a couple of good mobile theme for my forums now.

[Cloudlin]

I love tapatalk I use it all the time to browse XDA, OCN, etc

[JeannetteRPaine]

What is this? Is this like a plug in that let visitors chat?

[LShun]

I sometimes dislike Tapatalk because It displays another content about wanting to install Tapatalk or not before proceeding to the real content, but thats terrible for me But didn't know about the security issues, thank you for the information.

I am still exploring forum things. Someday, I'll use that
