Hi ibeteck,

Do you mean you set a particular forum as private forum and it still shown? It shouldn't as it inherit all the vb security settings.

PM me or you can post the issue at
http://www.tapatalk.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=13
where we track all the bugs and issues.

Alternatively if you believe it is not a bug but still want to hide a specific sub-fourms from iPhone, you can follow this step:

Hi mike,

Yes you are right that is part of the Beta version that we are currently fine-tuning. It will allow you to see how many users are online and number of total posts and so on.

Working nicely. Like it. Good job.

Any possibility of you licensing this as a standalone app for specific forums? I have one forum where I would like to create a dedicated app for the app store.

Please let me know.

While not much immediate update going on from the iPhone app side, we are pleased to announce the Analytics support of Tapatalk where forum owners can check how well the Tapatalk do in their forum.

The idea is to provide similar dataset as Pinch Media, Admob or any other mobile app analytic provider - and as a forum owner you can check how many people is using the Tapatalk to access your forum, and the time spent on it, etc.

Attached is a sample screenshot of interface you get to see once you login to Forum Owner Area (http://www.tapatalk.com/directory).

My forum is closed to a specific corporation. I would like our users to have this feature, but do not want our forum listed under Tapatalk's Forum Network. Is this possible?

You can list the forum as "search only" where it won't show up unless it's looked for in that way.
