Any chances on activating tapatalk (http://www.tapatalk.com/)... its free server side.. and cheap for phones... seems to be a great program...

Is it a mobile forum interface optimized for touch-screen devices?

its actually a program that is really optimized and integrates and even uploading pictures to forums that enable it...

Neat! Never heard of it prior to this thread. Don't have time to play with it today, but will try and take a look over the weekend.

:)

Feedback from vbulletin forum owners is mixed on the tool. Some do appreciate it, some aren't as enthused (poor coding practices such as sending login information in the clear, forcing all traffic through their own network, requiring forum users to pay for it and none of the revenue actually comes back to the forum).

Would people be interested in paying $3 for slicker access to this site over the mobile network? (keep in mind I wouldn't be charging it, it goes straight to those folks)

I dunno...I do have it already.. Don't have any forums of my one so i have not tested or looked at the back end... Might be on of those option things tho...

Anyone else want to see this... ?

I do! Would definitely make posting easier.

Hi Natalie - what other sites do you use it on?

Not too many forums support it. The only forum I've been able to use it on is AndroidCentral.com. But I post more to your forum and to another forum I'm a part of for my Altima, Nissanclub.com. Wish they would support it also.

Android central.... georgia packing.org.... Georgia sportbike forums....

I hate browsing forums on safari for iPhone, so this gets a +1 from me too. I've been using it on a local bike forum and it's pretty slick.

So I've recently been looking for a way to manage all of my forums in one app on my captivate and found that there is only one app...tapatalk. The problem is forums aren't visible on tapatalk unless they have the tapatalk plugin installed on the forum. I was hoping that the admin would perhaps register and do this? It would be awesome to be able to use the ninjette forums while on the go :D

I'm not really trying to advertise them...but in a way i guess i am? lol...sucks when theres a monopoly.

Please say yes and install it :thumbup::D

On a sidenote, what are the advantages of tapatalk? I'll go to forums and it always asks me to install it, but I haven't tried it out yet.

It's basically an app that allows you to manage multiple forums at once. It comes in handy if you're on the go a lot...you don't have to wait for the web browser to load, sign in multiple times, etc...


Would a PM suffice?

It would if I knew who was in charge of coding the site.

This forum has never logged me out, but I'm curious now and will try out tapatalk :thumbup:

Not going to happen. Huge security issues, starting with their architecture. All information coming from the forum site itself goes through their own servers in China, including authentication info. PriusChat was compromised a few months ago due to a Tapatalk bug, and started infecting their users with malware that was installed due to the problems.

hrmm never noticed that before lol...and i'd recommend trying out the free version first (you can view posts but can add new ones) to see if you like it

damn i just sent a message to you lol. I was reading about the security issues as well. They claim they have fixed it with the newest release of the plugin...I'll see if i can't find out more

It's still not going to happen with the architecture they are running. The security problems they've had are examples of what can happen, but the more fundamental problem is the architecture itself. Their entire business model relies on aggregating forums and pulling all traffic through their own servers to serve ads and run analytics. Feel free to research it, but IMO any forum owner that installs it isn't thinking this through particularly well.

you make a good point, never really thought of it like that...by using it you're supporting the enemy! lol

soooo....how about a ninjette android/iphone app? :fightmallets: i kid i kid...unless u wanna do it lol.

I agree with not installing it. Any forums I use that have it installed I delete my account from. Of all the countries china is the last one I wantto have access to my data, phone or personal information.

there is an android app you can view this site with, the web browser. That in combination with subscription to thread should work for any non obsessive person.

or maybe the fact that i'd like to be able to view multiple forums at once would be better...and btw the stock browser blows, that's what opera's for.

I am a network engineer, and I have no issues with stock browser (tis all I use)

and im a web developer, and i hate it lol.

Actually i can't say i hate it...its just a bit slow...don't get why google hasnt ported chrome yet

it loads all the sites I go to on that thing without issue, and unlike previous android phones it has flash and all that ..

that i can agree to...so happy there was a leaked 2.2 for my captivate :D

Just wondering if anyone has thought about putting the forums on tapatalk and if not then what other mobile forms are there to access the site?

Just thought I would throw that out there.

Gotcha. Search is your friend.

A nice mobile version of the site would be nice. But tapatalk sucks. Not only is it a paid app and ad supported, its functionality is limited and that can be very frustrating when you have to switch to a browser.

vBulletin just put in a mobile skin in their latest 4.x release, so when we do get to that version of the platform, I can dump the hacky mobile skin here and go to the stock fully supported one. It's new, and I haven't heard much feedback about it yet. Unfortunately the feedback on the vbulletin smartphone app development platform has been very poor, and the developers they had working on it seem to have jumped ship, so I have held off on spending the cash to get it if it's going to go away soon anyway. I had bought a mac just to do that development, so now I have no excuse in the near term for needing it, other than I really like the look of that tiny laptop. :)

I really don't have to much trouble with tapatalk. I bought it over 2 years ago when it was 99 cents on the market. I mainly use It for other car forums I'm on and it seems to work for what it does. I will admit though I didn't know about those security concerns that where brought up in those linked posts. I may have to reconsider my options here.

I had otherwise never tried this site on my phones browser but it actually doesn't work to bad.

I was just wondering, are you guys planning on getting Tapatalk compatibility in the future? I was just thinking it'd be nice to be able to browse now that smartphones are now affordable for the masses :)

Never gna happen

Tapatalk is for whores, NINJETTE RULES!

/merged with earlier tapatalk threads

You got another vote for Tapatalk.
If that matters.

What do you think? :)

Haha, what did you use to post it?

Just the mobile version of the site, from my ancient blackberry.

That would not be that hard to do actually. The HTTP/HTTPS layer has many libs allowing you to pull data from the server writing almost no code of your own, parsing out returned data wouldnt be that hard either.

vBulletin has RSS feed capability, they are intentionally disabled on this site (and others), as the goals here are for active participation, not just remote consumption. There are a number of ways to improve the mobile experience, and they will get here as well. The easy one is the better mobile templates available once we move to the 4.X platform. Further down the road, I'd be happy to work on specific mobile apps to support this site. I had intended to do this a few months ago, but there have been some teething pains with the vbulletin app development toolkit, and I'd prefer to wait a few versions.

anyone else have a problem with this site when trying to search from the phone? doesnt work for me it lets me type one letter at a time then i have to keep clicking on search for every letter.. :( Love NINJETTE THOUGH :) Wish tapatalk was here ! i use it for my other motorcycle sites like
GTAM and OTTMOTO :)

Google "site:ninjette.org your search"

+1 for TapaTalk integration.

+1 for thread reading. :)

I've resigned myself to using Google Chrome Beta on my phone. Almost as good, lol.

Can we get this forum on tapatalk please

Nope.

i haven't had any problems with ninjette on my droid3 but i would love anything to help not h ave to use a browser even if it was like a mobile app that worked like a tweet for ninjette. the potato talk thingy sounds cool too :D

actually after posting the tweet thing i thought of how awesome it would be if riders could just snap a photo with their phone and upload to ninjette while they are out. usually if there is a cool photo op or a pic i'd love to take or share id love to be able to just hti a share button and upload it to the forum. can tapatlk do that or is there already a way to do that without using a browser...i have stubby fingers which makes it hard to do from mobile and i lost my usb cable for my phone :/

relax jiggy jigs I read it already

Read it again, I don't think you understood the issues

No i do understand the so called issues...but having it work on plenty of other forums I see no reason that it can not be installed here. I have been using it for a while and have never experienced any issues...never had to pay for anything and never been "hacked"

You wouldn't know if you were hacked off this forum. Hackers will get your email and password and then attempt to use it on other site's hoping that you use the same combinations in multiple places like many people do. You wouldn't know if you had been hacked through this sight or now

I would prefer tapatalk and let some company get into my info on a bike forum then not having it.

People are just too scared of all these so called security risks all the time.

Do you really think you are that important or have anything worth hacking into?

Everything that is worth anything...ie MONEY is protected even if they hack into your account. So let them take it...I will get it back no big deal.

And what if someones ninjette info was the same as their paypal?

It's more common than you think

Any financial company fully backs all your transactions, if their is fraud you don't pay for it the company takes the loss which is just written off at the end of the year as a deduction anyways. I worked in a bank and with various financial firms for 12 years. Online banking gets hit with fraud all the time...you contact your bank...they make you whole and then the research it. No big deal

The other board I am on is www.chicagolandsportbikes.com this board has a majority of IT personal on it anywhere from computer techs to CEO of their own software company. I think if tapatalk was that bad they would have banded it by now.

I have seen many IT professionals get hacked haha

Anyway, it's not gna happen

admin,

can we get tapatalk plz?
Ihear its free for forums.
a lot of us use android fones these days :D

There's a PriusChat forum? :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

theres alot of italian ninja forums on tapatalk...but i cant read that stuff :(
thanx though

I was just wondering this too, I love tapatalk for the other threads I'm on, would love it on here but understand your security concerns

Any thought of making this forum tapatalk compatible?

iPhone 4 here. Both work great.
Question. Has anyone suggested or tried getting our site on tapatalk?

Hi Alex,

Question, have you revisit this idea lately? I understand you've had some security concerns in the past and I personally don't know if they have been fixed or clear or not. I also know other forums use the app and use the plugin, I have personally already payed for the app and use it.

Just wanted to ask if this has been re-visited since 2012 :) thanks.

A

AFAIK, the model hasn't changed. All traffic is run through their servers. Separate from the security and architecture concerns, they should be paying forum owners to use their system.

I like potatoes...

My tapntalk works on my phone... I open the browser, tap tap tap and it's talking

Is ninjette.org going to be available on Tapatalk for easier mobile use?

Don't hold your breath on it....

Don't hold your breath on it....

That doesn't sound good! other forums i am on are all on it and works great. Is there and issue or a bias here I am not aware of? :eek:

The way I understand it, a security concert is the issue. Alex will comment soon enough I am sure.

I'm requesting Tapatalk support, as well.
JJ

Sorry. Will not be added on this site.

I would like to see tapatalk integration as well, but after reading this thread I see it will probably not happen. So instead how about writing/having someone write a ninjette specific app? Has this been discussed? I just hate using my browser on my phone.

A few years ago I thought it would a be a done deal, with later versions of vBulletin providing strong mobile support. That didn't pan out, with the later versions of vBulletin going backwards in many ways, so we are actually still on 3.X here, many years later. On other forums, I've migrated fully away from this software, and that software has better built-in support for mobile.

I continue to have concerns about Tapatalk, for some of the reasons described earlier in this thread, and while I think it would be nice to develop a mobile-specific app for ninjette, I don't see it happening anytime in the near future. I'm somewhat grateful that with tablets and phones getting uber-huge and detailed screens over the past few years, one side benefit is that "normal" web pages are looking better and better on mobile, without as much of a need to develop mobile-specific skins. I knew laziness would pay off at some point. :)
