Ducati Monster Forum

After waiting for the tapatalk modification to get smoothed out, and for the new year, we've added it so our mobile users can have better functionality. It will work better for the Admins and mods to work from their mobile devices.

Registration will still only be allowed from land based computers. Once you register use whatever means to post you like.

Let me know if you have problems so I can see if any issues can be worked out.

Happy New Year.

Is there a free version of tapatalk or do they at least give you guys a cut for every subscriber?

I honestly don't know about a free version.

There was no mention of the forum being paid any cut.

I did this so mobile users could have better access and because some asked for it when it first came out. I figured some will use it on several forums so any subscription cost would be easier to swallow.

If people don't want it it's just a click away from being removed.

Let me know.

I using it now. So far so good.

This is great news!! 

FYI, the news link at the top of the site is borked... http://%22http//http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=54417.0%22 (http://%22http//http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=54417.0%22)

I never did check it.... :P

Thanks.

The link works now, but doesn't recognize you as a member...just a guest.

I'll try again.

I eliminated it...no ambition today.

Link fixed...I was trying to do more than I had to.

Does this mean we can see boobies now?

If you close your eyes real tight...

When asked ...... "how do you feel about boobies?"..... Nate for replied, "with my hands"

thats cuz his eyes are failing.....as are mine. :P

anyone have a link to a trial version?  i hate buying apparently with no trial

I don't know of a trial version, but I have TapaTalk on a few of my sites.

As a site owner, I don't like that the useragent field is hardcoded.

As a user, I don't like that only the default smilies are used/visible, some media embedding doesn't display properly, and any parts of the site that are not in the forum get ignored completely.

For a mobile forum browser, it is quick, easy to use, hassle-free, and very convenient. It's worth the $3 or whatever they're charging for it.....especially if you will use it on more than one site. I use it every day.

Good for us users to have tapatalk support.

Been using opera mini on the iPad. Pictures don't seem to come out right, video links only rarely.

thanks appreciated

i was using my blackberry and got a funky subset of the board on it.

now i have an android and the board comes in full and fine in the native site, no "mobile" site.

i'd be open to using an optimized interface, but i'm not a fan of buying apps without trying them.

I tried to point out the main issues so you knew what to expect. The smiley issue I posted about is probably the most  annoying here ........ like seeing the word "bacon" all over the place randomly. :D

Other than that, I think you'll like it and chances are that other forums you visit use it too. It's worth the few bucks.

yeah, that might be a little annoying for me

Pork hater

i usually start at the nipples....and I also prefer trial apps before purchase.

niether of which has anything to do with thanking the admins for improving the board for us.

THANKS [beer]

Is it like the autoguide thing?  I use my phone for internet about 95% of the time.  The dmf is actually the fastest and best loading site in its regular version.. I don't like using mobile versions at all..

I'm on other forums where mobile users seem to like the tapatalk app. From screen shots I've seen it should be easier for admins and mods if they need to do their thing from their phone, and the few times I've tried to log in from my not so smart phone I wish there was a tapatalk version.

I don't use mobile devices because of that besides an ipad, and the board is fine on that.

If you like the board as is on your mobile device...fine.

If you like the tapatalk app...fine.

No one is forcing anyone to use anything.

Hello friends!


The tapatalk is beneficial to all users - not just those for mobile!

If you use the Google Chrome browser, go to the Chrome Web Store - and get the app "tapatalk notifier", here:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/plfhcjljnfjpfcbjpgnflfofmahljkjj (http://"https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/plfhcjljnfjpfcbjpgnflfofmahljkjj")

it is free, and it alerts you if you get a PM, which can be very helpful.


Sincerely,

P @ IMA Special Parts NA

Folks - I get the following pop-up on every page view on the site:
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7026/6706174377_6ba1965e59_t.jpg)

This happens on iPhone and iPad, sometimes multiple times per page. Is that intentional? Perhaps the pop-up should only come up one time, be dismissed, and never reappear on subsequent page views. I don't want to use Tapatalk, especially on the iPad. But I hate dealing with the pop-ups.

It's from China - I'm staying clear......



I only get it on first contact....iPhone 3G with OS 4.2 - maybe it's an iOS 5 thing.

I received it once on the iPhone and iPad, haven't seen it since.

anyone else having this problem?

It's unacceptable in my mind.

Which OS are you using on your devices?

iOS5 across all of mine: an iPhone 4, iPad 1, and iPad 2.

Often times these things rely on setting cookies to prevent recurrence of the pop-up. But Javascript access to cookies on mobile browsers isn't perfect. I'd almost rather see it inline as content on the page. Lots of news sites do this, and it tends to drive me away from them.

It isn't anything we're actively 'doing'.

All I did was install the app.

I don't know if the developers are actively doing it.

There's a support forum that I'l register for and see if I can get some help with this.

edit...

you're correct about the cookies thing.

Enable cookies in your browsers and it should stop.

Let me know.

It would also be helpful if folks who aren't having issues could post up and give some details about their OS and device.

No problems on my iOS5 iPhone, dismissed after first popup, no reappear.

Same experience as reported by imaspecialparts on my iOS 4.2.1 iPhone

No problems here. I'm using the TapTalk interface more than the web version. Both iPhone 4 and iPad 2 working fine (latest OS). Personally I'm grateful the mobile version has been added ... Thank you

Tapatalk not working for me today

Anyone else having problems?

Sorry I think my problem was with my work wifi. Works fine now

Good news

***EDITED TO SAY***
I deleted Tapatalk and reloaded it and I got back in.  I'll leave the rest below in case a mod is interested in the error.
*******************************************

I haven't been able to log into the forum via Tapatalk for probably a week.  I removed this forum from my list of tapatalk forums because I couldn't login.  Now, I can't get it back.  I see it in the list but I get the error "Cannot connect to forum.  This forum is either restricting access from Tapatalk or the installed Tapatalk plugin is not working.  Please contact your forum administrator."  It then shows a "System Message" that reads, "Received from client compressed HTTP request and cannot decompress."

I've closed out Tapatalk, shut the phone down etc.  I can log into the other forums on Tapatalk without problem.

Not sure what the issue is.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the mod. There is only one version for our SMF version, and no one else is reporting problems.

Any better?

I did get back in after deleting the app from my iPhone and reloading it.

[thumbsup]

I had the same problem as Gagetech, but wiping and re-downloading the app cured everything.  It's not just this forum.  I had similar problems with another forum app for another site.  I think that with so many iPhone apps some of them can be a bit buggy.  I'm still using the iPad version more than my computer these days so am grateful to have the choice.

Thx for this thread.  I couldn't use Tapatalk this weekend.  But deleting and Redownloading it did the trick.

Would it be possible for you (the admin) to create a "add on" for the forum runner app.  I would like to use this forum through the app, but they say the forum owner needs to request this and turn this feature on.  Please let me know if this is something you're willing to support.  Thanks!

Sorry...

There is no version for our forum software (SMF) that I can find.

Once it is available I would probably wait a while for them to work out the bugs.

It took a year or so for tapatalk to get ironed out. Once it was we added it.

Will this make it so that safari will show videos in this forum?
I'm using an I pad and that is the only problem I have on this site with Safari. No video.

I still have little understanding of what tapatalk is supposed to do.

I really don't know what tapatalk is supposed to do either besides 'enhance the user experience'.  ;D  People asked for it and when it stabilized we added the mod to the forum.

Is it this site or is it that Apple and Adobe Flash don't play nice?

Apple and adobe flash don't play nice. I take it then that flas is the issue?

depends on the video...

if a video is being played in a flash-based player, don't expect that to work on an ios device.

...or on android 4.1+:

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2406507,00.asp (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2406507,00.asp)

Adobe confirmed in a Friday blog post that "there will be no certified implementations of Flash Player for Android 4.1."

"Devices that do not have Flash Player already installed are increasingly likely to be incompatible with Flash Player and will no longer be able to install it from the Google Play Store after August 15," Adobe said.

Well I plan on keeping a laptop around too. These tablets have limited functionality.

I'm taking this as it isn't the forum.  [thumbsup]

There is an update for tapatalk that will be installed tomorrow about 6:00 pm est.

There will be a short period when tapatalk will not be available.

If after the install on our end you have issues accessing the forum using tapatalk, the surefire fix is to uninstall and reinstall on your end.

I just got notification that tapatalk is being offered for free for many devices.

    


Here's the chance for those of you that didn't want to pay for it to check it out.

Tapatalk has a new version.

It's not a mandatory update, and in the past users have had issues with new versions so I'll leave it up to you guys.

Do you want me to update, or not?

no one with an opinion?

how strange. ;D

I don't use it but I would think it best to wait until the latest version has proven itself.

I don't use a phone to surf. ;)

It seems that every update requires the user to do an uninstall/reinstall of their app.

If the new version has benefits it might be worth it for the user.

I'm looking for people that do use the app to comment if they've found any difference.

I use the TapTalk App all the time and am very pleased you are on there. I'm guessing you are asking about an update to the server end as there have been tons of App updates recently and no issues with any of them. I don't have any issues with the current setup so I guess you could take the 'if it 'ain't broke' approach. What are the benefits of upgrading?

Yes, this is an update on our end, and I'm a huge fan of the don't fix it approach.

The new version adds SSO and Push notification support.

I can live without push notifications, though prefer the idea of them than an e-mail telling me a post has been updated.  SingleSignOn doesn't really matter - I am already signed in on all me devices and it is no effort to do so occasionally, if needed.

I appreciate your input.

Anyone else?

i'll give it a whirl.

+1

Have you run into the version for SMF 1.1.x?
