Hi all,

If there are any other nerds in the house (and I know there is), you might be interested in using Tapatalk http://www.tapatalk.com/ to access these forums properly from a mobile device such as an iPod, iPad or Android powered phone. The only problem is, this forum has to be registered by the forum owner at http://www.tapatalk.com/plugin.php in order for Tapatalk to access it. Registration is free.

Anyone else interested in getting an admin to add the SOHC forums to Tapatalk? Who would I DM to discuss?

Thanks!

Talk to Glen or Bob about the matter.

  we definitely need to do this, my gf just got an android phone (which means that im probably going to get one soon) and i was not able to get into the forums from it, i was able to log on and get to the home page but that was it
Funny thing about regret is...... its better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't done.

I can do OK from my I phone but it gets a little glitchy and locks up sometimes. when my posts are missing words or incomplete it most likely came from my phone ;D

As long as you're not riding while you're doing it. ;D

I might answer the phone while on the bike, but texting would just be stupid, you might drop the phone ;D

I'll look into it.  Before I sign up and install their module, I want to check if there have been any issues discussed on the smf forums.

The tapatalk module has been added and the forum should be accessible through the app.

Is there anything similar for an iPhone?

Just switched from a BlackBerry and find navigating the site on the phone really difficult.

the first time I logged on with my phone after the mod was added a pop up came up and asked if I wanted the talktap app. It cost 2.99 I added it, the verdict is still out, I am a little slow accepting change

I just got my first Droid a month or so ago, and I love it.  I switched over from Blackbeery mainly for the HTML browser, but also for the appps.  So far I have had no problem navigating the site through the browser.  I checked out the Tapatalk app, but I think I like the browser better.

There is a tapatalk client for the iPhone.  The free read-only client isn't available right now, but the regular client is only 2 or 3 bucks.

Yeah, Tapatalk is not bad but I'd rather access from my laptop. Also I find it tends to crash when accessing the SOHC/4 tech forum, prolly just during to the epic amount of data its trying to process. :-) Either way its still better than shrink/magnify/repeat when viewing in my mobile browser.
