MODS: Can you implement the Tapatalk mobile browsing code please?

[Gary_B]

I'd also like to request CBR getting Tapatalk support for easier interaction on my iPod touch.

I didn't really have an opinion on this before, as i assumed this thing was free - but the app costs $2.99. If cbr implemented it then people who didnt have the app may feel obliged to buy it. So although it would be good for you folks that have the app already, it's putting pressure on the rest of us to hand over cash to an unrelated company or feel like we would be missing out on the cbr mobile experience.

Your joking, right? Its an app to make browsing easier on android/Iphone devices. If you don't want the app then don't buy it. It has no impact on anyone not buying it browsing the forum as they do. if you want to browse easier you pay the 3 bucks. Cheaper than one comic book and you own it.

So what?

What kind of logic is this?

I don't think it's CBR's job to provide content for an app that expects you to pay for the privilege of using it.

Pretty sure nobody's talking about exclusive content of any kind. We're just talking about an improved mobile experience with the same content from the forums.

That's like saying companies shouldn't have automated menus when you call into them because some people don't have touch tone phone and would feel obligated to purchase one. The Site would work just the same as it does now, it'd just have more options for those that would like to browse from a mobile device.

I know the lack of a good mobile option means this site see a whole lot less traffic from me than other sites that I visit that do have a mobile options.

An interesting argument. Who paid for the computer that you're reading the CBR forums on, I wonder? Don't you also have to pay for your internet access as well? Why should CBR provide content for a system that expects you to pay for the privilege of accessing it? (Even if you're accessing the CBR forums from work, someone paid/is paying for you to have the privilege.)

The Tapatalk app is an add-on that anyone using the forums via a PC/Mac won't even know is there. Only if you access the forums via a handheld device web browser will you get a prompt that the forum is Tapatalk enabled but you can just Cancel and ignore it if you want.

Speaking as administrator of another vBulletin forum, it genuinely puzzles me that there seems to be some (any?) resistance to implementing this add-on. Do the CBR forums not utilise any additional add-ons/modifications to the standard vBulletin software to make for a more user-friendly experience?

From what Brandon said upthread, it looks like the vBulletin mobile product is being considered, one would assume for implementation after the vBulletin desktop 4.1X upgrades are done.

What the latest or is this just never gonna happen?

As stated above, the mobile option of VB 4.0 is being weighed.

Not that you need my opinion, but since the v4.1 upgrade, the boards have become impossible on mobile. I assume it's the weight of the new javascript.

Came to say i would start posting alot. I am always on the move, loaded thousands of comics onto my tablet, and would love to take part in this forum as well from my tablet.

They don't care. With the mobile phone and even Ipad market just going bonkers I'm also having a tough time on the resistance to TapaTalk. This should be a no brainer.

vbulletin mobile product? That isn't free either for the user for the posters that are bent about spending three bucks. I did check that out as well before I bought Tapatalk. I rather pay for the app that handles many flavors of forum and not a proprietary one.
