^ ditto!
update the avatar section to pull in a few variables/rows of data Looking at things now.. you know literally nothing of a person/poster with more effort.
Plus....I cant move past having ads being injected directly in my posts! That is a HUGE intrusion.. and kills the content/text. All the other stuff is more of a learning curve.. or re-learning how to use the (new) site.
I mean we already have side bar ads... top ads.. bottom ads.. after initial post ads...... why this injection ad? I get it... you want money. But at the cost of the sites usability? And members input? When/where does it stop?
I mean You make a new thread.. you have the top and bottom ads.. ... being the first post.. you get an ad AFTER it.. then you sometimes get an ad at the bottom of your post.. and now injection of ads INSIDE the text of your post? (seriously)
Thats 2 ads in one post.. along with the top, bottom ads... not to mention anyone else who posts/replies.... INSANE.
The 'new site' was just a push for more money in the end? (unfortunately.. thats kinda what it feels like to me at least)
yeah it's what I said, but it's not as obvious. for me this is an information that could even be displayed on the junkyard icon directly, that way you can directly see if it's in US, Europe... It maybe doesn't seem super important for someone is US, but for us in Europe, this helps you figuring if the shipping cost and taxes would be acceptable.
thanks
thanks
. Yes.... we spent the last two years working on this just to insert an ad inline...^ ditto!

You know I have been a very advocate user and supporter of tapatalk since 2011. I even bought every version that has come out
I have always defended it when others have talked bad about it, I have never had a issue with it and found it’s ease of file upload easier
BUT I have been fooling around with this new mobile friendly version of therpf today
And I gotta say I love it!! It took about 10 minutes to get the new feel, but you can upload photos and embed videos with ease
In real life I hate change, abosutely hate it. But usually when something does change it’s not as bad as I think it will be, and this is another case
When I first learned about the new upgrade and the loss of tapatalk I was pissed. Been using that app for the last 7 years.. but now with playing with this new version of the site I love it!! It’s great! I’m not disappointed at all
One real big plus is the colors, tapatalk I was limited to that orange screen, now boy oh boy what a difference
So much easier, which I can’t believe I am saying
I just want to thank everyone involved making this upgrade possible. You guys weren’t lying, it’s damn impressive!
Thank you, my life is now back together

Hey Art,
I can’t access my inbox from my mobile. Any idea?

Sir, you have made my whole day. I hated the use of Tapatalk (because it was so invasive and literally took over so many things), but obviously recognized that we NEEDED something like that. My greatest worry was that people like you (heavy Tapatalk users) MIGHT feel that this was a step backwards, instead of forwards. Trust me... in the next few months, it is going to get EVEN better for mobile!

I understand that mobile is the future (if not already the present), please don't forget those of us that are using desktop and laptops - the site might be amazing on mobile now, but it's definitely not an easy read on my desktop.

...and now I'm getting invasive pop-ups telling me not to use an ad-blocker. I can't win...
This is what the site looks like without ad-blockers:

While it was nice to get an upgrade, I do not like the layout at all.
All I see is a white page with posts adds and topics and avatars just thrown in the middle with nothing to differentiate them from it all and it seems to blend together into one mass. It kinda hurts my eyes. But Im sure its because its new and I will get use to it. Adds are placed right in the middle of posts it seems.
Edit: Im looking at the desktop version right now. and just looked at the mobile version to see what the difference is. It surely is better then the previous mobile version by a long shot but its not that much better then the new desktop version. A white page with plain text and a picture thrown in for avatar.

It is indeed.
Yikes! That is a REALLY small footprint. What mobile device are you using? Let me see if there is an answer.
Width for desktop has been adjusted to a max of 1300px which should help readability and should not make the site feel so "bright."
Can message me screencaps of this so I can take a look?
