    Tapatalk vB Cloud?

    My forum is just a couple weeks old but I've had many requests to add Tapatalk. I know what Tapatalk is but wouldn't know how to load it....Is it even possible to load it on vB Cloud?

    Installing plugins/mods to vBCloud is not allowed. You need to have the self-hosted/dowload version.

      Well, that should change...thanks Glenn, I originally bought the self hosted version but gave up and switched to the cloud....I just wanted to host a Forum, not become an expert at the software....too bad the cloud version isn't flexible....especially for mobile users!

        The VB5 responsive design works very well on mobile devices. I have tapatalk on my site and it is only used by two specific users. All others use the standard browser to view the forums. The last couple of versions have made huge strides in streamlining mobile usability.

          Thanks, my forum just started a couple weeks ago and I've gotten nearly a dozen requests to have it work on Tapatalk. Personally I'm not a huge fan of it but I'm finding out quickly how many folks are....

            My traffic on my forum has dropped due to not having tapatalk. I get repeated questions about it. Everyone complains about the mobile view and the navigation. Considering 45% of my traffic is from mobile devices, you'd THINK there would be a better alternative. I ask questions. No one answers. Beautiful.

              Tapatalk on VB5 doesn't currently display comments which on my site are used very frequently. I got complaints on TT and I just told them don't use it if they don't like it.

              My traffic is mostly mobile users. I recently ran a feedback thread on my site and most of the users were very satisfied with the standard VB responsive view with my enhancements, both load time and appearance. I started the feedback thread because I was entertaining the idea of creating a streamlined light weight mobile style for my site since TT is not fully functional for VB5. After the feedback I got, I don't think it will be necessary. Most of the complaints I have on the mobile view come from 3 users(Whiners).

                70% members of my forum have dropped their activity out due to this Tapatalk issue. VBCloud definitely should provide Tapatalk support. Or at least create some mobile friendly app like tapatalk which members can download from App store / Google Play.

                I am trying hard to push my members to use mobile browser but majority is asking for Tapatalk. My forum activities have drop out drastically.

                  vBulletin Cloud supports the Forum Runner app which is a direct competitor to Tapatalk. And owned by our parent company. I don't foresee adding Tapatalk support in the foreseeable future.

                    If forum runner supports, that will somewhat help me to get my members back on my forum. Now can you please answer my queries in the forum runner thread ???

                        Yes, it is no longer being developed and won't work on modern versions of iOS and Android.
