🏈 ATTENTION Tapatalk users: You will have a conflict using that program here...

[TerryP]

According to the latest numbers I ran a few months ago roughly four of five web sites on the 'net are not responsive. When you're reading a message forum that isn't, programs like Tapatalk make it easy for you to read, post, etc.

For those of you who do not know what responsive design is all about:

1. Responsive design is an approach to web page creation that makes use of flexible layouts, flexible images and cascading style sheet media queries. The goal of responsive design is to build web pages that detect the visitor's screen size and orientation and change the layout accordingly.

This entire site is built with responsive design. So, whether it be the forums, conversations through the private messaging, or things like the gallery and Sportsbook...it's all responsive.

You don't need to have Tapa to use this site. In fact, considering Tapa is designed for sites that are not responsive it'll lead to conflicts.

Whether it's your phone, tablet, PC, latptop...you name it...the server will recognize what device you're using and adjust itself for easy navigation.

If you have 20/20 vision you aren't going to go to the eye doctor and get reading glasses, right? OK, horrible analogy ... but I hope it makes this clear.

I could run Tapa here. But, if it's not needed, why should I?

These squatters from Woolly really are a bunch of dumbasses.

Sorry for you having to deal with them Terry. :wave:

I for one can't stand tapatalk, I prefer the browser experience. Same look and feel on any device vs that junk that tapatalk provides...

Not my impression at all. A lot of people are used to using Tapa for surfing the old Woolly site from mobile devices. If that's what they are accustomed to, and they didn't know it's not needed ...

FWIW, google rankings have changed in how they are compiled. Sites that are responsive rank higher in searches. The same applies for sites with SSL certificates (which we have installed here as well.)

Nice. I was going to ask about this when I saw the forum was no longer working with tapatalk. Now I see it looks perfectly fine in the mobile browser, don't even need to pinch and zoom.

Each time I try to visit RTB from my Iphone, I have to "skip" an offer to download Tapa. Clicking the "don't show this again" box doesn't work either. The next time I use my Iphone to visit, the "download Tapa" offer appears again. That only happens on RTB, never on any other site.

Any solution to this @TerryP?

It seems to work fine on my Tapatalk

Other than a few "unsupported attachment" notifications on some post, it works fine on tapa for me as well.

I'm just use to tapatalk, but may switch to the browser and check it out.

 

[Gideon Swashbuckler]

The browser version is easy to use.

The browser version is easy to use.

I much prefer Tapatalk on a phone.

Nevermind. It has disappeared.

I'm with @planomateo I don't care for it.

It's a good concept when you're dealing with sites that aren't responsive. But, with the way things are going with Google and more and more using mobile devices to surf the web sites that aren't responsive are going to fall by the wayside.

I wonder how Tapa is going to keep up ... they'll have to change their platform to keep up with the industry or they'll fall by the wayside as well.

 

[planomateo]

Those of you who use tapatalk, I'd recommend you use a browser for 7 days, I'd bet you'd stop using tapatalk.

 

[RhinoGuy]

Tapatalk just seems a little more streamlined for forum browsing. I know on my phone it's faster and requires less scrolling than using the chrome browser.

If I didn't have a computer and only had a phone I would probably use the browser more.

I only use the browser on my phone. I downloaded Tapa and spent less than 10 minutes using it. I hated it.

 

[TerryP]

I downloaded Tapa and spent less than 10 minutes using it.

That's about eight more minutes than it took me to move on.

There are forums that still haven't moved to a responsive design and I've stopped visiting them: first on my phone and tablet and now all together.

As archaic as the software is over on TiderInsider, even Dalton is starting to push code to make that entire site responsive.

 

[Mr. Pink]

I didn't like tapa at first, but then got use to it and it seemed to make it much easier to navigate the forum. But that was on Woolly; here the browser does seem pretty spiffy. I'll be using the browser for a bit to get back use to it and avoid tapa.
