[sarcasm] Great [/sarcasm], I have WinMobile 6.1.

 

the android platform isnt exaclty cutting edge, nor is the apple phone

 

It's a simple plugin to install for tapatalk. They can still develop a mobile site that will work for non-tapatalk capable devices. Mobile sites don't really interest me unless they are iPhone specific, otherwise they are just as cumbersome to navigate as a full site

 

Hey everyone, we have not installed tapatalk, or touchBB on any of our sites for several reasons. The main one being, that we along with vBulletin (who we own) are working on a full featured mobile app which will work across platforms, and not just on the iProducts.

However, this is still about a month, or perhaps two away. In the meantime, we have been designing a mobile skin for our forums, which will be available though a specific mobile address. We are meeting on Tuesday to discuss the progress on this since last week, after that I can provide another update.

cheers,
robb

 

Is the mobile site going to be ad free, or will they be taking up valuable screen space? can we choose to still use the main site, or will it auto-detect and always send us to the mobile version?

 

Why not just make an RSS feed of new topics/posts? Seems like the same thing to me and then you don't have to worry about any individual platforms feeling left out since everyone supports RSS.

 

so no tapatalk

 

Cannot compare an RSS feed to the way Tapatalk shows the forum.. nothing like a native forum app.

 

exactly. instead of creating a mobile version of the site, they could just take the quick route and give the members what they want and jjust add RX8Club to Tapatalk already. even then, they could still continue developing the mobile version.

right now RX8Club is the stone age compared to other forums with mobile sites/apps

 

I hope i'm wrong, but with the amount of advertising on the site (like almost all others) I understand the no tapatalk from a business standpoint. No advertising in tapatalk. No ads, no money. No money, no reason to do it, even if only a small percentage use it.

That said, I still want tapatalk and think it's sad that it won't be used since it's so simple to implement, very well received, and by far the best way to browse a forum on a small screen. Hell, I'd buy it if there were a desktop version to use on my netbook.

 

what most site owners who don't turn on tapatalk are missing is that the ability to read it on your phone in an easy to use way then drives those same eyes to the website on the computer once they're home.

I see more ads on my phone then on my computer running FF with noscript and adblock+.

 

Tapatalk could have been implemented months ago in the mean time...lol. Hell, even if your going to introduce a mobile forum app across mobile platforms... why not just add tapatalk for the mean time...lol? Like stated previously.. it covers like 85% of all mobile app based operating systems. Better then nothing at this point.

 

you will be able to select mobile, or standard versions. they will have different URLs. we will likely use m.rx8club.com for the mobile, which could roll out on Monday.

There already is an RSS feed for new threads on the site

 

Thanks for the update Robb.

 

so no chance of tapatalk?

 

It's looking really good that m. will launch by Monday everyone.

laythor, no tapatalk, sorry.

 

awesome!

any chance at getting screen shots?

 

Yea boy!

 

So what is being implemented over tapatalk? Would have been nice to see tapatalk on here.

 

if you had read a couple posts before you, they're not going to implement tapatalk at all. instead they are releasing the mobile site "supposedly" today

 

supposedly, hopefully...what's the difference? :D

 

nothing really, just as long as it gets released Monday..... wait isn't that today


whats the update on the mobile site? eager to try it out

 

hmmm, well monday gone and went. still no mobile site.

 

slackers!

 

Of course, because I told you all a day, we ran into last minute tech issues. Might be delayed for another day or three
