Title: Can we get a mobile version?
Post by: The X Inn Keeper on January 10, 2018, 05:30:38 PM
I hate taptalk, and now it doesn't work.
I can't  retrieve messages, I can't see unread posts, the list goes on.
Is there a way to get a mobile version of NCKA without going through Taptalk?

Fuck tapatalk.  Seriously.  It has been nothing but a thorn in my ass.

I updated both the site software and tapatalk to the latest versions, and guess what, it doesn't work.  Not much I can do beyond that.

What's wrong with using your web browser on your phone to get here?  That's what I do.

I stopped using that POS tapatalk several years ago when it had photo issues and never looked back. I read and post on the site often just using the browser on my idevice. I concur with AS, eff tapatalk!

I have no other problem using the browser on my phone, except, it is hard so see and have to expand the screen constantly. I see other websites that have a mobile friendly version that doesn't need to go through apps like taptalk, and was curious how or if it could be applied to NCKA.
I know people don't want to hear complaining, but I already see some OG's posting more and more on other sites like FB and Instagram. Figured if it was easier to use on a phone or tab, it might help keep intrests here instead.

X2 I’ve never understood the tappatalk thing. The web browser works great for all sites for me.

What are the advantages of tappatalk?

The benefits.....the text is larger and justified, it fits to the screen.  I was able to post photos directly with no hassle.  Those are effing huge for convenience.  I also liked the categorization of topics, when i opened it up i checked new, unread an participated tjreads and just bounced out.  I didnt jave to fumble through  the 500 dofgertent forum sections.  The search function worked better.  I had other forums i participate on the same platform.

The browser just sucks, constantly zooming, resizing and scrolling....its just old school. Tjetes other tools out there.

Tappatalk did go down the drain though....fuck em,  find another one.

Gotcha yeah there is a bit of zooming and resizing/scrolling involved if using the browser. I honestly pretty much only use the unread and replied to buttons though and am totally lost on the he actual forum pages or categories.

I’ve seen lots of complaints and problems with tappatalk on some other websites too but have no personal knowledge since I avoid apps for the most part. Thanks for explaining the benefits.

Huh?  I must be having problems, too.  With my 2016 MacBook Pro.  I just spent 45 minutes looking for the "500 dofgertent forum sections," and I couldn't even find a link to them!

Found a catfish thread.  And a picture of a dog on someone's yak.  but no damn dofgertent.  Fuck Tapatalk!

Load the site in your browser and click "Show Unread" or "Show Replies" in the upper left next to your icon photo. Even easier is to bookmark those two after they load and you can save a step. The only problem I have with viewing on my phone is caused by the small screen size.

I've personally never had a problem with tapatalk and accessing NCKA. I don't know if that's an android thing or what.  I always assume that polepole is in the background viciously fixing things to make sure I can still access the site.  I mean otherwise what are we paying him for?
Title: Re: Can we get a mobile version?

Shoot, with the dozens of dollars in ad revenue NCKA is pulling in, Allen must be making something like 10-15 cents an hour at least.

I like Tapatalk for accessing multiple forums in one app. Whatever quirks it has, gotta live with it when mobile. I'm just glad there IS an Ncka forum  to check when I'm not fishing. And if youve been on other boards... You kNow we have something good! On some boards, they will give you a public beating for posting a report on a hot YT bite... At least when we talk shit, it's entertaining...

been using tapatalk for years even way before i joined the ncka family.  lately its just been screwed up and ive given up on it.  i check the browser site once in a while, but its just so hard.  i browse on my phone 100% of the time.  its just too hard for me to be as active as id like (as much as i used to).  with TT, id click the app on my phone, and it shows all recent posts.  i actually go through all the posts when i have time during my workday.   but since im on the go all the time, the website version just takes a few more steps to check threads.  not to mention my alerts on threads that i subscribe to.  ive been thinking of starting a thread like this one for weeks since TT has been unusable (android), but finally found that some people are in the same situation as i am.  im all for abandoning TT, but would like to see a mobile site that is as close to user friendly as TT.  i love ncka so much, and i will donate if we can get a mobile site going. but for now, im afraid im going to be less active than i'd like.

I gave up on Tapatalk years ago after an update that prevented me from seeing NCKA but always showed an automotive repair forum.

I don't see how Tapatalk can program an app that appeases hundreds of forums with different forum setups. Fix one feature to appease one forum and end up aggravating others.
