It provides super-fast access to your forum and allows your members to participate more in your forum while on the go.

Why Tapatalk?

of your existing forum code and configuration. Simply follow the procedure below:

Create yourself an account at http://www.tapatalk.com/plugin.php. Once you have logged in
to the website, you can download the largest version. If you are not sure you are

Upload the zip package at the root of your forum system.
Unzip the package. You should see a directory called "mobiquo" inside your forum
system root directory. For example, if your forum URL is http://www.mysite.com/forum,
it should be placed at http://www.mysite.com/forum/mobiquo/.


Step 3

Login to Administration Control Panel (admincp) in your server.
Choose "Style Manager" under "Styles and Templates".
Choose "Edit Template" in your current template.
Click "Edit" in your current template

Thanks!

We are using VBA-CMPS, i made the link in headinclude hardcoded just to be sure.
However, a user of mine is using the alternative app called Convo, and with Convo it does not seem to work yet.

Has anybody tried this with Convo already or should there be additional settings to be able to use Convo with this?

[BarryoBrien]

This is a scam, your users have to pay to see the site in mobile view or pay the $799 price tag!

[lazytown]

It's not a scam because lots of people are using this. However, I do think it absolutely needs to have ad revenue for forum owners (not just skimlinks of viglinks).. Real ads.

For users to see the site in mobile view they have to download the app which is not free, its a scam! its not offering a free app that has tapatalk branding either.

[Black Tiger]

Correct, the Tapatalk app costs something about $ 2,99 but there is also Convo, which is free and can be used for Tapatalk as it seems.

The "free" is for the forum owners, not for the users.

Scam is something else, this is no scam. However, it might be more clear that it is not free for users.
That's the main reason I installed forumrunner first.
And if nobody can confirm that Tapa is working on my forums, I will uninstall it again.

[Black Tiger]

Uninstalled again.
Lack of confirmation if it's indeed working. And forumrunner is confirmed working and free.
So Tapatalk is uninstalled.

[sailnet]

a couple of questions.

I installed this today and get registered on the tapatalk website. my site is now published.

I added the code in the header.

the only mobile skin on my forum is the mobile api from vb for their apps.

do I need to install a mobile skin and if so - what's recommended?

in addition - it says my site is published but using the free version of convo it says sailnet.com cannot be found.

how long does it talk to get added to your directory?
