Just tried this out. Very cool. OO appeared in the Games section, so I didn't even have to type the URL.

Here is the appbrain QR for the demo version.

Mature? Am I on the right forum?

Neat. But when I tried to search the forum, I received a notice that the server plug-in is out of date.

Thanks for putting this in Fishpants

Awesome. I'll try out the read only version to see if the full version is worth it.

Now if I could only find an iPhone forum app that works with SA and it's WoW sub forum.

Thank you! I've been meaning to email you if you could add that. Now I can browse while on the train easily.

Gamingtrend also has it, so now my life is complete

For Android you can create a widget on your homescreen just for OO.

I'd post a screenshot if i knew how.

One cool (and free) app is Shoot Me. It'll take screenshots by shaking your phone, and will save them to SD for easy transfer to a PC.

Thanks for enabling this functionality! Browsing with Tapatalk seems faster than using the Android browser for sure.

Sadly, it only works for rooted phones.

And you haven't rooted yet why?

Work phone. Can't risk screwing it up to play with more toys.

This $3 purchase will go far towards keeping me off the high bandwidth user list at work. You may very well have saved my job.

Stupid Question: How do I mark a forum as a "Favorite" within Tapatalk. It tells me I have not bookmarked any forums, but I cannot find any way to "bookmark" them within Tapatalk.

Nevermind.... Since when does the word "subscribe" mean the same thing as "bookmark?"

Zaxxon · Post by **Zaxxon** » Thu Sep 09, 2010 11:06 am

Tapatalk supports multiple forum types, and they don't all use the same terminology. Leads to some confusing aspects.

Subscribe on the Board Index page = mark a forum as a favorite.
Subscribe within a forum page = getting email reminders to the thread selected.

What fun!! While it is confusing, it is nice to have at work.

But that is not what each of them do.

When you "Subscribe" to one of the forums (like EBG) it literally says "added to favorites" and does not send email reminders.

Actual threads, OTOH, it does send the reminders.

Not for me... weird.

The iPad is big enough that Safari works well for me.

azek01 · Post by **azek01** » Mon Nov 08, 2010 4:08 pm

Safari on the iPad is fine, but I like how tapatalk only loads the essentials and it definitely is a quicker browsing experience in my opinion.

Looking at tapatalk's site, it looks like they plan to release an iPad version eventually.

Seems like the search function plug in is out of date. Says to contact the board administrator. Consider yourself contacted

Consider yourself upgraded to v1.9.3.. I think.. If someone could verify I'd appreciate that (Don't have a working version for BB).

Works. Thanks!

Anyone else having trouble logging in via TapaTalk? I keep getting an error telling me that either my user name/password is incorrect, or my admin has restricted access via TapaTalk.

Works for me.

When you guys can, can we look at upgrading to the latest version? It includes the ability to see bolded text and has online indicators. And if there were anyway to get it to reflect the WW accuse tags, but I think that might be stretching things.

Now upgraded to version 3.0.1. Can someone confirm it works please? Thanks!

It works, but I haven't tested the new features.

Any tips for using Tapatalk with my iPad?

I've been messing with it the last couple of days and finally figured out how to increase the font size (in options before you go into a site).
