Recently, proboards made their forums compatible with Tapatalk, the mobile forum app. Proboards mobile is kinda meh so having this available would be very helpful. Seems like all you need to activate it is having one of the admins clicking here: tapatalk.com/activate_tapatalk.php?plugin=pr

If it's something that can improve accessibility for MMLSers on the go, with no adverse effects whatsoever, then I second this motion.

Yeah, sounds good from here, if fAB is alright with it. I don't want to break anything again. ...Actually, Kyle just reminded me that it'd be a good idea to consult Chiz too, lest it does anything weird to Terraformer.

I've juuuust gotten off the horn with Chiz, and he's giving the greenlight for installation. Since Terraformer isn't actually supported by ProBoard's current mobile app, it's very unlikely that Tapatalk will cause any interference. If it does break something, we'll just make him fix it with a sadistic deadline, anyway.

I think I've enabled it. I honestly can't see any difference.

Sweet, I can confirm that it works on my phone. Tapatalk doesn't change anything on the forum itself, it just means that people with the Tapatalk app will be able to post, read threads, or whatever. Also comes with a neat little customizable sig.
EDIT: Heh, it doesn't show the display names for users on here. I'm Megabuster, Kyle is greenpowerprevails, etc. This is gonna take some getting used to lol.

I've been using proboards app (which seems to be the same as tapatalk) on my android for a long time; I bought it because it was almost impossible to browse and reply this forum using any mobile browser (default, Chrome, uc...). There are tons of ads, the keyboard doesn't seem to work right (words get erased whenever you write the next word, what the...? There's no way to upload pics and it has no themes.) I was expecting to be able to change themes just like on desktop version but all I can choose is white and dark lame theme. At least I can finally upload pictures directly from my gallery instead of uploading to photobucket and copying the link, but it's still a lame app. Attachments:

I had Miranda check it out. Seems pretty usable. I don't have a smartphone so it doesn't really apply to me but good job improving accessibility!

I can finally contribute a bit more on this, and I must say I can see where it'd be nifty. The main gripes I have is that it shows everybody's login name instead of their display name, and it uses its own interfaces completely separate from Proboards, so no V5 System.
It doesn't have too many more advantages outside of mobile except for extreme convenience, so I may end up defaulting to mobile more often than not when the choice arises.
