Our single sign on provider does not work with Tapatalk, and after discussions with the team over at Invision they recommended removal as it will not work for many new users. That thread goes into some more detail on Tapatalk, we also ran into similar problems. This upgraded forum version does support running as a PWA (progressive web app), so you can pin it to your phone's homescreen and it will act more like a native application. We're taking all this feedback into account and will be doing our best to adjust the theme over the next few weeks to better suit everyone's requests. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks for the reply, personally for me I don't mind saying bye to Tapatalk as long as there is a mobile friendly replacement, which by the look of it there is!, just tried hitting the forum and yep it looks pretty good on the face of it, time will tell what functionality is missing (if any). Figured out PWA's allow you to 'add to Home screen' which is kinda cool, makes it feel a little more app like 🙂 Quote Link to comment

Not that I do a lot of mobile browsing, so not a big deal, but it's worse for me, we can no longer see and go directly to the last post in any subforum, that would save some time for less used subforums, also the posts text appears smaller to me, and harder to read comfortably, but maybe I just need new reading glasses.

1812 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Was this forum upgrade included in my lifetime license?!? Or do I have to subscribe to keep it???? I don't understand how these new license systems work.... am I grandfathered? What about new users? Are security updates included? They really should be IMO.... This all smells like a cash grab to me.....If only there were an FAQ I could read and comprehend.... (I'm just messing around, nobody get their knickers knackered ❄️) 2 Quote Link to comment
PPH Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 The "install as App" feature on Android is pretty nice. Gives a little bit more room on screen as there's no browser bar present. 👍 Quote Link to comment
