I never said or implied you did. What's implied is that if you're downloading this mod you want your visitors to be able to view your site in a mobile version. Why would you want every one of your visitors to pay for the ability to do this? And if this mod isn't about that, what's it about?
I really don't think you understand this mod, or we're not communicating properly. As far as I know, no one has to pay anything to view your forum in the Tapatalk mobile app. If you want a mobile theme to show when your mobile users visit the site using a web browser, dartho has put together an awesome one. I suggest you check it out.

Doesn't that contradict what I just quoted them saying? Lol, why do you think people download this mod? You just proved my point exactly. You download and install this mod, users are prompted to pay to download an app, then they can see a mobile friendly version of your site. So thank you for elaborating and the obvious point I was making - don't use this app - go find a free mobile skin/device detection.
No one has to pay to see your forum in the Tapatalk app! You only have to pay if you want to post via the app. And really, these Tapatalk guys are developing an app over 7 different mobile platforms. That's pretty impressive. I don't think anyone can argue that they don't deserve to be paid for their work.

And finally, my point: people should, can and do post on my site using their mobile device without having to pay to do so Plenty of users, eh? Right. I'm sure the hundreds of people who hit my site via mobile devices will flock back to become a regular just because there's an app they can pay for. Right!

Stop being so naive, Thanks!
And of course your users are also free to post to your site without paying. There are literally TONS of ways to do so. This mod, and its associated app, are only another way for your mobile users to consume what you provide.

I run Tapatalk and also have a mobile theme available. I don't care how my users consume my site, I just want to make it as easy for them as possible. You should try it. You might be surprised on how many of your mobile users already own the Tapatalk app for their platform. I bought it to use on my forum, and now use it on several others...

Now go have a nice weekend or something. Sheesh!
