Clear your cache then, works fine on Android 4, WP7, and iOS atm. You will only get a last page / first page button (if its needed).

could have sworn i cleared it before i tried this.... LOL... oh well second time was a charm... working better.... thanks for the last page thing.... much better!

the biggest thing is the lack of selecting the last post you gotta page and page and page..... I wanna be able to pick a page # to jump to in a thread.

Oh man, that is more annoying than you will ever know. I absolutely hate that.

My main beef with the current mobile site is that it's difficult to view larger topics. There needs to be a last-page button and/or a drop-down page selector. With that and the lack of an easy way to navigate to the front page and back keeps me from using it.

The day the site got updated that was the first thing I posted about.

Just loaded up the site on my iPhone and brought up the Guild Wars 2 topic and it went to the last unread post for me and I also see the first and last page buttons. Very nice.

I would love TaT as well. I like it a lot.

 

However knowing how IPB is with updates ... :( is all I have to say.

 

I have noticeable battery drain as well if I have this forum up on my phone, it drains really fast on 3G on my Gnex. 

 

I really hope IPB gets thier skinning problem fixed soon. They tend to have major skinning issues with version upgrades. I worked there and I took TONS of tickets where people would have theme issues! 

Wait..this forum has skins?  :huh:

What's so great about this Tapatalk application? I've never used it or seen it, and have no idea what it does. The mobile site works just fine for me.

 

Multi-forum application that allows you to use any forum in a more mobile friendly format regardless of the boards software, skin configuration, device resolution. It also saves bandwidth by not downloading extraneous resources. Also places all your forums in one app for ease of use.

A web browser also collects all your forums in one place and shows them at your devices resolution

Yes but you gotta pan and move around a lot for forums that don't have a mobile theme defined. Try using a forum that doesn't have a mobile theme... It's a pain, specially on a slow 3G network.

But Neowin has a mobile theme for the forums. I'm able to navigate without an issue, no need to pan around with it.

Does TapaTalk support ad insertion for sites like Neowin because if so I would see no harm in adding it. :)

It's not a matter of it doing harm. It's to do with the time that it would take to make it supportable when there is a perfectly good mobile view of the forums for us to use already.

I understand since the devs have already spent a lot of time and hard work coding the current mobile version.

 

No

I guess that means a lot of forums wouldn't support it then as ads are usually a big part of keeping the sites alive.

The single best thing about Tapatalk, IMO, is the notifications you get when someone quotes your post. 

 

I've resigned myself to Neowin not supporting it now though :p

 

That would be quite simple to emulate if you set up the email account you use for Neowin on your phone. I get lots of notifications sent to my phone from here. Just go to your notifications options and select the email check box for whatever notifications you want to receive on your phone.

We should be able to do that as well, like if it's a tile or something.. don't see why this shouldn't be possible.

 

I think Neowin already supports this (at least, there's an option in the user CP that I've just turned on). There's just no way of getting native push notifications.

Not a bad idea. I just usually find myself getting annoyed when I get e-mailed notifications like that. It's not really any different to getting push notifications, so it's all psychological.

    • Wow, Microsoft IS cooking lately... This only shows that they COULD improve, they just chose not to for whatever reasons. That obsession with AI was destroying them from the inside out.
    • BATorrent 4.1.0 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 4.1.0 release notes: A community-driven release: everything here came straight from your reports and requests. It closes the remaining gaps with qBittorrent and fixes the Windows settings/tray/splash issues several of you hit. Fixed Settings now actually save. A whole class of preferences — speed limits (and the alternative limits), max active downloads, seed ratio, listen port, max connections, DHT/uTP/encryption, VPN interface, kill switch and proxy — weren't being persisted and reset to defaults on every launch. They now round-trip correctly. (Thanks to everyone who reported "the upload limit always goes back to 0".) Splash and tray toggles stick on Windows. Turning off the startup animation (or "close to tray") no longer reverts — the Windows registry stored these booleans as integers and the UI was misreading them. Close-to-tray hint. The first time the window hides to the tray you get a one-time notification, so the app doesn't look like it vanished (Windows 11 tucks new tray icons into the overflow). macOS Dock icon size. The icon filled its canvas edge-to-edge and rendered larger than neighbouring apps; it now uses the standard safe-area padding. Native file picker language. The "Torrent file / All files" filter in the open dialog follows the app language instead of being hard-coded. Added — qBittorrent parity Alternative speed limits toggle — a turtle button in the toolbar flips your throttled limits on/off instantly, independent of the scheduler. Follow system theme — switch light/dark automatically with the OS (Settings → Appearance). Pre-allocate disk space — reserve the full file size up front to reduce fragmentation (Settings → Downloads). Recheck data on add — optionally force a hash check when adding a torrent, so existing or partial files on disk are detected. Port status indicator — a 🔴 dot in the status bar shows whether your listen port looks reachable (UPnP/NAT-PMP + listen state; fully local, no external check). Add torrent from URL — File → Add torrent from URL (Ctrl+U) fetches a remote .torrent and routes it through the normal add dialog. Export .torrent — right-click a torrent → Export .torrent to save its metadata file. Already there (in case you missed it) Watch folder — auto-add .torrent files dropped into a monitored directory (Settings → Files). This release just surfaces it. Incomplete files already carry a .!bt suffix until they finish. Under the hood Regression tests for the settings-persistence and Windows boolean bugs. A new Qt Quick Test harness covering the startup splash and the design-system widgets.

    • Disabling open on hover, great! That was so stupid! They need to do a fix, where if a network share is disconnected, it doesn't hang when opening "This PC" for 20 seconds.
