That will remain, too. Status quo on the stack of tech available to RealGM users -- but, we are working hard behind the scenes to improve the speed and functionality of the mobile forums.

For those that are on the fence, it is worth it to keep checking the mobile forums once in a while. By a wide margin, users have had a very positive reaction to the new responsive design of the mobile forums since it was launched recently. And as mentioned, we're continuing to make upgrades.

just to add even though you already said you wont, DON'T TAKE AWAY TAPATALK EVER.

I think just being able to open the app and be logged in (I dislike having to login on the browser, especially since it logs me out every 15 or so min), being able to get notifications right to my phone (like a text message), and just an overall simple and clean UI makes tapatalk the more viable option. The message notification part is the most important though.

Notifications for mobile are something we can put on the development list. On RealGM mobile forums, you should stay logged in for much longer than 15 minutes. We fixed that problem a while ago.

Yeah the only thing missing from the RealGM app is notifications, that would make it the best choice for viewing the forums on mobile. Other than the minor issues like no avatars, and 1's, etc.

Hopefully this will happen in the future.

Maybe it's just me, but tapatalk can't handle tweets. And pages are full of them. The site in Opera browser on Android actually looks like tapatalk. Maybe you could add the possibility to show more then 20 posts per page.

Missing avatars were due to a bug in the Tapatalk extension for phpBB3, an update was applied that should have corrected this, but any old posts will still have a broken avatar due to the caching by tapatalk.

Edit: I have added a rule to the server to perform a redirect to fix the old/cached broken avatars, all should be working unless people actually have broken avatars.

Thanks mate . I am a self taught computer enthusast with aspbergers syndrome. Started programming at the age of six, and now have over 25 years of experience from electronics engineering to software development. Never learn't well at school as I was not diagnosed until I was 21, by then I had given up on the education system and decided to just teach myself, which for the most part I find works better anyway.

Translation: Code Academy and a lot of Sam's and Wiley's books!



gnif's great!!

Definitely agree.

Anybody else not able to view embedded tweets on Tapatalk? I've contacted Tapatalk support but haven't received any help.

Here is an example.



In Tapatalk it just shows up as numbers that link to a non existing webpage. Just wondering if anyone had any solutions. Thanks!

I'll try to see if this is an issue across all of Tapatalk or just the RealGM version.
