tapatalk, forum directory, public/private forum

Forum URL: (private)

Hi, so I've been reading through previous threads trying to find an answer to this but I am still unsure.  

I have already submitted my forum to the directory and been approved (because I was under the impression this was necessary in order to use tapatalk).  But since it is a private forum I would prefer it not to be "public" and searchable even though it is password protected.  So my question is does it need to be accepted in the directory for it to be usable on tapatalk?

Hi,

There should be no need to submit to the directory. I can already find your forum on Tapatalk by searching for your forum URL.

ok great thank you.  So i unsubmitted the directory entry on the proboards admin page and now it is no longer searchable on the proboards homepage.  But it is still searchable on tapatalk and comes up with the same image and description.  So two questions:

1. I'm assuming this may talk a day or so to go away as soon as tapatalk updates their site?

2. And if/when it no longer comes up on Tapatalk's site with the image and description that I submitted for the directory, it will still be searchable on tapatalk for members to find it if they type in the whole URL in the tapatalk search?  If my image and description don't come up what will be shown?  just the URL?  

thanks!

Hi,

I'm not sure that removing the directory entry will have any affect on the Tapatalk listing at all.

The forum should remain searchable on Tapatalk (via the URL) until the forum is deleted.

ok thx. i'll contact tapatalk to see if they can remove it. so any forum is automatically searchable on tapatalk regardless of whether it was registered in the proboards directory?

Any ProBoards forum should show up in the Tapatalk directory.
