New feature for Smartphone users (iPhone/iPod, Android...)

[Monkeymax]

Hi all.
I've just installed (available for all users) Tapatalk on the Mk1 Club forum. Tapatalk is a mobile forum app for iPhone / Android (and soon to be available on Blackberry and Nokia).
Tapatalk supports all the usual forum functions plus full screen image viewing, image upload, caching (less reload), private messaging, all these features are accessible in just a few simple taps.
Tapatalk is a much easier way to browse the forum than using Safari or Android's built in browser. It also uses less bandwidth, and is better formatted for the smaller screen (so you don't need to pinch to zoom in and out on the iPhone for example).
I've tested it on an iPod Touch (running OS 3.1.3) and it runs fine on there too with a wireless connection.

There's two versions of Tapatalk available. A read-only version which is free (so you can try it) and a fully-functional version for £1.79 (at time of writing). Well worth it in my opinion, if you browse forums on your iPhone/Android phone... ;)

Install the App on your device (available on the App Store on iPhone/iPod or via their website:
http://www.tapatalk.com ) and do a search for MR2 Mk1. At time of writing, this forum is the only search result... ;)

Preview shots below.

If you use it, please let me know how you get on!

Just to let you all know, this is now available for Nokia smartphones and Blackberries too (although in Beta at the moment on Blackberries). For Nokias, it's now free on the Ovi store, or here:

The Blackberry version can be downloaded for free here:

Also, the version on iPhone/iPod will be updated in the next few days and will finally include landscape mode. Woo! :+:

Can't find the lite version in Android Market, and refuse to part with pennies until I've tried it!

[FossMan]

It's £1.88 or thereabouts. You should buy it it's worthwhile.

Hello monkeymax, can you help?

When I came to the site today I was faced with this screen:

It wants me to log in, that's fine! No idea why it's harping on about log in attempts though because I never logged out. And I can't see any image making logging back in impossible!

im having the same trouble

[No3157]

Looks like the server has had cookie issues... :-:

[Monkeymax]

Thanks for bringing this to my attention Mik.
I've purged all caches and sessions. I need to do an update on both the forum software and Tapatalk which could be behind it too. Let's see if the purge has helped first.

[andrewaw11]

still the same

NP Max...wasn't sure if you'd looked at it earlier, hence my voicemail(was at Chris's at the time)...and thanks for promptly responding(even though it seems not to be resolved - could be tapatalk then)!! :clap:

Oh, nice new profile pic, btw...fitting, lol... :mrgreen:

[Monkeymax]

Yup, it's definitely an issue with Tapatalk. I'll try to do the update ASAP. Very strange it's suddenly started happening out the blue - I changed (updated) the anti-spam settings just over a week ago, but think the problem didn't exist immediately after that... :think:

:lol: That's what I thought when I saw it so I knew I had to have it. Wallace & Gromit FTW. :)
