We now support Tapatalk

Scott had suggested it before but our forum version was behind the times and we couldn't install it without updating...and Que and I are idiots and didn't know how. But thanks to cools we are all updated and since the iOS app is on sale for 99 cents (first price drop the app has ever had) I figured it was time to get this done.

And it is done. You can now access the boards in a smartphone friendly format. Supports iPhones, iPads, Android, Blackberry, Chrome and...whatever else they support. I dunno, look at the site. Enjoy!

Yeah I bought TapaTalk when it was $0.10 on the (formerly named) Android Market and use it for any forum I visit that supports it.  Yay!

I'll test out the iPad version when I get a chance.

Too bad there's Windows Phone version.

I always feel bad for Jennie when there is a television or radio commercial and at the end it says, "Check out our mobile app on the Apple App Store or Android Market/Google Play!"  She has a Windows Phone 7 device.  And there are a lot of such commercials.

It is a shame because it is a really nice OS.  But Microsoft is working against its own reputation, competing with two other OS's whose companies have generally positive mindshare, being late to the game, and suffering from the chicken-and-the-egg syndrome in regards to its available apps -- all at once.

Yep, sucks in that respect but I feel special among my peers with their blackberries and their iPhones :P

Oh and this is my post with the iPad version of Tapatalk!

It works beautifully but it's $2.99 for iPad and then you can upgrade to the "HD" version for an additional $4.99. Weird.

Anyway, the basic $2.99 edition is totally worth to communicate with you guys on the forum so seamlessly!
