Title: Tapatalk server name.

Attempting a free full-featured version. But it wants a server address. From the play store, first free one you come to. :)

The server name should be the URL...

http://www.fordpinto.com   ??

You would think. But it's an app for the nerds, by the nerds...it wants the url to the Tapatalk apk.

Is there a free official Tapatalk? lol Everything I found in the Play store was $3. :)

OK- now I understand what you need- it's the same URL for all TapiTalk enabled forums... http://domain.com/mobiquo/ (http://domain.com/mobiquo/)

http://www.fordpinto.com/mobiquo/ (http://www.fordpinto.com/mobiquo/)

FYI- Tapytalk is the only SmartPhone app this site supports- we have a very large plugin running on our server that allows tapitalk to do what it does best. Tapitalk is one of if not the best rated tools out there for this function.
 
Other software's that might work do everything outside of this site, I have no control over how these render pages...

Yea, I'm one of those nerds :)

Thanks! I'll see if I can get it to work. :) Found a couple others to try, as well.

'Forum fiend' was a failure. 'Convo' worked first try, and was free as well. :) So far so good. lol

My only question about Tapatalk is does it let you see your PM's? Convo doesn't (free version), but it's not that big of a deal to me since my Gmail app does via email notifications. Could be nice, though. :)

What is the advantage having Tapatalk ? I can access everything from my android phone as if I was on line with out it just by going to the site.

I been wondering that myself, maybe it's an iPhone thing????..

It's quicker and more direct as it only loads the actual forum core (no sidebar stuff, like the shout box etc), and I assume it's easier for the forum owner/administrator than having to create an actual mobile-friendly site (they can just integrate the app instead of coding a separate site version).

Droid user myself. lol And I'm still on 3G, so speed and efficiency is a bonus to me however I can get it if I'm away from wifi.

I got 3G also and wi-fi either one is just as fast, at least here it is anyhow, I can go to any site and just create shortcut, click on it and site pops right up and everything is just like on my PC at home not a thing different, thought that was cool because I don't have re learn how everything works,lol..
