Just curious since this is a vBulletin board as to why you guys haven't turned on access for the Tapatalk app? It's free on the sites end afaik

I've been using the cobaltss.net app but that bitch is a battery hog compared to Tapatalk... and Tapatalk is just far superior to it anyways.

 

I used the app for a little bit but didn't like it much. I'd rather use the mobile web version. Would Tapatalk be much different than the current app?

 

Oh yes. Much better. You can even attach pictures directly to your post. You can't do that with the mobile app. And the mobile version online... garbage. Just like most mobile versions of any website.

You can also get notifications of new private messages pushed automatically as well as any thread you want. Also Tapatalk supports almost every forum I go to. And being able to switch between forums using one app is awesome.

 

Yeah the mobile version isn't exactly the prettiest thing I've ever seen but if Tapatalk is that much better then I'm with you on this one.

 

Tapatalk is the ****. Been waiting for this forum to get it, because current mobile options are shitty af.

 

Would love a mod to chime in on this...

 

We've tried to get Tapatalk turned on for awhile now.

Something about how IB (the company that owns the board) won't let it be turned on because they don't trust it or something redic.

 

That is ridiculous. Hopefully we can get that mentality changed. Its good for tens of thousands of other boards

 

I asked about this a while ago. This is the response I was given:

"IB has elected not to install it on their communities. It is a combination of privacy and security concerns. IB owns some of the largest automotive communities on the web and is reluctant to open their servers to pass every single post through a third party."

 

Why are people reporting this? Lee is already in here...

 

I dont know who Lee is or why people are reporting this. But that reason posted above is bullshit...sorry. it doesn't make any sense. If its good for so many other forums...cobalt ss isnt above the thousands of others using Tapatalk...including XDA...which dwarfs this site

 

Lee is the other mod in here besides myself. This whole thing doesn't matter to me for two reasons, one I don't use the mobile site, and two I can't change it anyway. Ib doesn't want to do it, then well it is what it is.

 

It makes perfect sense. They don't want to use it. What is so complicated about that?
