Eh, Shane have you been on the lager again!? 

We went straight from Yabb (no TT support) to SMF 2.04 (no TT support).

I was indeed.  Harshness edited out.

Well, I'm out of Admin anyway.  Good luck.

Guys,

Just an update on Tapatalk - members may not realise the full history here.

To install an update SMF a number of scripts are run against it. Its quite invasive and hard to reverse.

The Tapatalk update was put to the engineering department and it run against a Virtual Machine. It seems to work ok.
It was activated in the live environment and it was noticed after a while that PM (Personal Messages) stopped working, also I believe some people accounts were a little messed up.

After a lot of work - the forum could not be stabilised.

Certain people then worked their socks off to remove tapatalk to stabilise the forum.

SMF and Tapatalk arent natural partners - Tapatalk only supports much older versions of SMF.

Long story short - we can move to phpBB - which is virtually impossible - which is tapatalks natural partner
or we have to wait for a version of tapatalk that supports our version of SMF

We cant 'hack' our forum to work with Tapatalk - it will become unstable and all future updates to SMF will be a major ball-ache as we are running in 'non-standard' mode.

So dont be giving the engineering team a headache - they worked bloody hard trying to get it working - and it didnt work out.

Once a version arrives that supports our platform - we can try that on the Virtual Machine

Until then we are on hold with Tapatalk -

[Ciderhead]

Thanks for the clarification at least now I know

[Bubbles]

Once a version arrives that supports our platform

Tapatalk surely have a development roadmap and should be able to tell us when they expect to release a compatible version of their software? Anyone on the engineering team know?

I don't care about tapatalk being installed to be honest, would it be possible to have a more phone friendly "skin" for the site, so that it displayed better? That saves people the expense of an app (for the user) that they might not otherwise use and also solves the problem for everyone... not just those who love tapatalk!

not just those who love tapatalk!

It's not that I love TT, but I'm using it with other forums, so would be nice to use it with NHC as well.

[Ciderhead]

I love tapatalk, it allows me to quickly read through in a font without glasses! and post pics directly from the phone in the middle of a post

[Rossa]

I get different sized text with chrome on the phone.

Tapatalk is suppMaybe we soulorted up to Simple Machines Forum
2.0 RC5/Final
We are on 2.0.4
It's a bit late now but maybe we should have stayed at 2.0

[Partridge9]

I think rolling back to 2.0.0 is a serious ball-ache -

but just need to buy Paul a pint and have a chat in a better environs !

Forums are a disaster in some ways.

[Will_D]

So for a site with about 30% IT experts it is amazing that no-one can even suggest an alternative to T@T

Why is it so good? What does it do that a smart phone OS cannot do?

Have asked Qn b4 but no answers!

FFS: We should be able to develop our own in about 3 weeks (given the level of IT experience - Uhh like we have 1000 man years of IT experience)

Yes we can brew some great eers but can we spec. a new killer Ap?

Think what that would do to the NHC coffers!

[Partridge9]

Guys this is causing a heart ache

We may have an alternative - but need to do more work
To ensure its viable

[psham]

Just like to say tis great sitting here reading the nhbc forum on tapatalk.. I now feel part of the community again. Thanks to all involved..
