Mobile app

Tapatalk isn't a skin, and I can tell you this - performance-wise, I prefer to use it over a browser any day.

I'm sure you have all the resources you need, but I can always put you in touch with the vbulletin admin from a non-related forum that I practically live on.

I don't mean to sound like a pitchman for them, I just really, really, like using the app!

It is a plug in for the forum though... VBulletin does not provide support for it.

We are and have been evaluating it for a while now. Hopefully the new release will address the ssl problems they have been having.

Watch this space!

yah sorry, i know its not a skin, i was refering to other options, and it was late.
the main issue with tapatalk is there restriction on sexual content, when you add your site to there system, you have to confirm the is not overt sexual content on it, i dont think we would pass that one.

i am just working on a solution though, i could do with a couple of testers with diff mobile devices, so if you fancy testing for me, then let me know your device and ill pm you.

Thanks for the response. I didn't know about restrictions on content; you might want to check with the admin at Orgasmanic.com, as I use it there and they're certainly sexually explicit.
I'm on a jailbroken iPhone 4, be glad to help any way I can.

You can use TouchBB for iPod Touch / iPad / iPhone users. I use it for my forum and works like a charm. Install a script in the forum's file system and you're done.

ok you both have devices with you now, what happens when you go to ff.net via your device now, ive added support for mobile devices.

i was looking at it on a itouch earlier, although it was the standard template it was perfect, what im trying to test is the detection for devices and the mobile skin ive installed, manually you can check it from your device with this link: http://www.facialforum.net/index.php?styleid=6

On an uptodate iPhone 4 (not jailbroken) the layout looks good.
The only snag i can see is that the Normal Version button doesnt work, which is a shame as I prefer the original site, due to more information being shown on the screen.

[facialadmin]

ok having trialed this all afternoon, i can say using detection and a mobile style is not the answer, it slowed us down by probably 20 -25%.

im happy to try tapatalk but, if it slows us down it wont be staying.
also if tapatalk decides it does not like our content, they may remove our site from there system.

Yeah, the mobile version left a lot of functionality behind. Server performance hits are also unacceptable; same goes for Tapatalk. If it doesn't slow down the backend, awesome. If it does, give it the boot and we'll be happy to continue with what works.

Thanks for all your efforts. I'm currently a mod on an equal-size forum and was the admin of a smaller one for years; no one knows what you do behind the scenes to keep it all running smoothly. Thanks for your hard work!

thanks dood, ok now the tapatalk is set up, but only for search you will need to search for Facial Forum
could you let me know how it is via tapatalk

W00t! Posting this reply via Tapatalk. I'm on an EDGE connection right now, but once I'm in a 3G area I'll test it further.

Thanks!!
