Tapatalk question

[rockhard1]

I found this tapatalk option in my settings so with curiosity, went to their site & looking around on here but still haven't a clue just exactly what this option does but in some way help mobile users out. Can anyone enlighten me on just what this does & how or why it might be useful on my board?

Hi

Tapatalk is an app you can download for your device which you can use to access ProBoards forums.

The Tapatalk smart banner places a banner at the top of your forum, in mobile view [ in their browser ], informing the viewer that they can access the forum in tapatalk. If they click the banner it should load the app and load the forum within the app.

Hopefully that answers your question.

I don't have a smart phone so I haven't a clue if my board can be accessed by them, does that mean phone users typically can't access proboards without some kinda app?

I am no expert but I do use my phone a lot and I never use Tapatalk so yes you can access Proboards without Tapatalk.

The forum can be accessed on mobiles without the app, but the tapatalk app is compatible with many forum platforms, so it is a handy tool for people who are members of multiple forums, and what to keep them under one umbrella.

Personally, i prefer just going through my browser on my mobile to access the forum

The most useful aspect of Tapatalk is that it will give audible notifications across multiple forums.

Thx for the feedback gang, sounds like it might be a useful add to the board, I'll activate it & see how it goes.

Just so it's clear, Tapatalk is always available. The Tapatalk enable/disable is just for the smart banner at the top to let people know that the Tapatalk app exists!
