Can you make the usernames on the "dark" skin blue instead of black, or is that outside your control? That's how they were in the old version.

In the Tapatalk app, can you change the username colour on the "dark" skin to blue (or some other light colour), or is that outside your control? Black on black makes it impossible to read (and it was blue in the old version). Not a big deal, but it's something that would bring usability back to where it was before.

Thank you for the fix!! Now I can enjoy game day threads. :)

Love the re-design, but some of the spacing is inconsistent and to be honest, I'm losing sleep over it.

For example..
- The Topics column has no right side padding, fine, but...
- The Views and Replies columns have both left and right padding, creating a double-gap between the two
- The Last Post column appears to be like 100% too big to accommodate max-character usernames


Thanks again for adding gfycat support

Also, the headings are not aligned - TOPICS/ANNOUCEMENTS is vertically justified whereas REPLIES VIEWS and LAST POST are not quite

Very happy to hear that Tapatalk for iOS is in the works. The site certainly works ok on the phone, but using it in a browser is just a pain for me. loading times ( including signatures) and clicking on links that talk you away from the forum etc.

I have some completely opposite situation. I checked my notification settings and everything seems to be okay. But my notification count is always 0. I looked at a post I made recently and saw that some people had "and1'd" it. But I never got a notification for any of them...

Personally, I don't think tapatalk compatibility is really necessary because the mobile version really isn't bad at all, but to each their own.

The only thing I don't like is the edit button on the mobile version being grouped together with another couple functions under a button that opens a pop up box. Would prefer to just have a edit button.


It's a little extra inconvenient, but I don't think edits happen enough to require them to be always visible.

I'm not sure what's going on there or how the link would change.

Those kind of changes will be up to Howard.

Have you guys completely removed team pages?


Why not just bookmark it? or a simple "raptors realgm" google search is quick, too.

viewforum.php?f=32

EDIT - try raptors.realgm.com again... it's literally working 50% of the time (tried it with the knicks, too), very strange. thought you were referring to the team forums.


They are working 100% of the time now.

It's all the same now. There are not separate desktop and mobile versions. The display adjusts depending on your browser size.

Not sure if this was voiced or addressed but it appears we cannot remove a "like" anymore.

The And1 button disappears after clicking on it to prevent people from spamming the button. If you refresh the page, it will return and you can remove your And1.
