    What is the chance of installing the tapatalk plugin as well. Tapatalk and Forum runner can run in parallel. Difference is, I have already 3 forums on tapatalk. I do not really want to buy yet another forum application when tapatalk will do the job. The plugin is free, and works well with other plugins of the same type..
    What say you?

    Please, please, please add Tapatalk to the forum. Navigating the site on an iPad via Safari is a nightmare.

    yeah... one more thing out of our control when things don't work the way they should

    I have added it to the to-do list for review when H comes back from the bush...

    Is Tapatalk nearing the top of the list? I was on EDGE today and cruelly reminded of just how nice Tapatalk integration would be.

    Admins please seriously consider the Tapatalk integration - this is a modern cutting edge photography site browsed by modern cutting edge people who use ipads/iphones and android tablets/phones.
    We need tapatalk!
    For our sanity!
    Please

    Seriously, what is it going to take to convince ODP to install the [free] plugin? http://tapatalk.com/activate_tapatal...ugin=vbulletin

    The process looks a lot less complicated than fixing the forum itself to render correctly on the iPad.

    I'm not saying it looks like this every time but it does happen often enough. It's a common vbulletin thing.

    What does happen every time is that the site goes from filling the page, while it's still loading, to about 90% when it's done loading. Suddenly hyperlinks have shifted and instead of reading a thread I'm suddenly reading someone's profile. Long usernames also make the jump to last post link disappear.

    Hmmm... I have only seen this happen once before...

    Hopefully we will be sorting out that stupid 90% problem soon as well

    No need to go to all that bother - just install the tapatalk plugin!

    Been working with ODP and the ipad over the weekend, only problem I had once was that some images did not load and was black but a refresh fixed that.

    Had a look @ tapatalk. Looks much better than forum runner and I like the twitter integration. Once this plugin has been sorted it should give OPD the exposure it needs via twitter.

    Not sure about what Tapatalk brings to the table, and we are happy to bring it in, but just to mention again, every forum thread does have twitter and facebook posting options as well (top of the page) through Share Plus

    Sean I was comparing it with ForumRunner that has no twitter integration that I know of (I could be wrong but I cant see a tweet button) would love to tweet about interesting threads that pop up and doing so will be advertising for ODP as well.

    I normally use ForumRunner, but this weekend used Safari to see what williams was on about. Yes I could use Safari to tweet but prefer to use an app that make things simpler and keeps all my forums in one place.

    I'm not in a hurry, so Ill just be on the list of ppl that are waiting for this plugin.

    hehehe... cool stuff... The developments never stop, we will always continue to iron out wrinkles, add new features and functions... unfortunately the technical team for this is very small, and there is quite a bit of work
