Is it possible to get the forum activated for Tapatalk? It's an iPhone program that allows you to participate on the boards easily over the phone. That, or a mobile version that doesn't take forever to load?

Re: Tapatalk

I know Ton worked on it early this year and it kept causing problems so he scrapped it for now.

IHN is completely Smart Phone compatible, from the main page to the boards. The navigation menu drops down when clicking the little arrow next to IndianHeadNation... it includes the Chat, Message Boards, and RSS feed.



To use the main page, it is free, but the boards require you to download Tapatalk -- which is a one time $2.99 fee. IHN doesn't see a penny of that, for the record, but if you wanted it you got it!



Happy surfing!

iPhone does not equal smartphone. But it supports most smartphones. On blackberry they are testing it for free, available on android and nokia as well.



Nice feature, well done.

The main page does not require tapatalk, it is compatible with the following devices:



Android, CUPCAKE, bada, blackberry9500, blackberry9520, blackberry9530, blackberry9550, blackberry9800, dream, iPhone, iPod, incognito, s8000, webOS, webmate



So to answer a question you didn't ask, I didn't just have the iPhone in mind here... the main page articles and chat are all accessible without tapatalk... for the chat though, I'm not exactly sure if it will work.

Oh I know, I was just fucking with you, and wanted to add a little information I found on their website. Still doesn't support my phone though, but I'm ok using the full version of the site on my phone when needed.

What doesn't support your phone? Tapatalk?



Does the main page at least work?

Awesome! This is great. I ride the blue line quite a bit to and from work, and now I can get more involved in discussions during all my down time on the train. Perfect.

Main page is showing up in mobile format on my phone, but the message boards are not.



Edit: Just saw that the boards require Tapatalk. Unfortunately Tapatalk is not available for WebOS. :(

No worries, I will be searching for other formats to make it compatible with everything!

Yep, that's what I have as well. But I just use the full version of the site, it's not that bad sometimes.

I'm not sure it's worth it, doesn't seem like too many people use Palm...?

Anyone currently use this with any droid operating cell phone?



I don't feel like burning 3 bucks for something that doesn't really work well.

I picked it up today on my phone and it works great. I got just out of being annoyed everytime I clicked a link it would ask me to download Tapatalk.

I assume with the new forum this is not needed? (at least on my phone) Is it still supported, or is the web-based interface better than this app?
