I can't stand TT anymore. I have no control of what they show on the site, they possible take your info and use it for other things, I feel its a security risk and I want to remove it.

How many of you would not come back to the site if TT was removed? Have you TT users checked out the site in a mobile browser yet? Looks great I think.

I am pondering to the remove it for all my sites as its not really needed anymore for the mobile friendly app.

I use TT for a couple different forums including here. Although it has its problems and gets annoying sometimes I find it easy to use. I haven't tried the mobile site to compare, I'll give it a shot after this. I like TT lay, I can easily switch from unread posts to subscribed. It is a pain if I'm in the middle of commenting on a post and need to find a sub'd post to share it in the comments.

Hate it. Especially when trying to use a mobile browser and it keeps prompting you to use/download tapatalk. Get rid of it please!

Just checked the mobile site out. Although it from the sounds of it, it doesn't have the issues like TT does but I like to see all post through the generation's and classified ads as they are posted. Call it lazy, I'm more apt to help someone no matter what generation if it is in front of me instead of searching in generation sub forum's that doesn't apply to me. If there is a option on the mobile site to view all threads in order like Tapatalk then I'd be happy to use the mobile site

Edit. Found out how to get all post to show up. Only complaint is it shows all comments in order of being posted. So when multiple people comment on the same thread, the same thread appears over and over.

Another plus for TT is having notifications pop up on my phone. I can almost instantly see when someone replies to a thread and if it's a response to me I can go directly to it.

The newer version of Xenforo(the software used for the forum) will have the push notifications. Not sure when I will update, but it maybe soon.

There is absolutely no security risk with Tapatalk, I have it on my own website and I none of my info or my members info has even been used for other things ....

Leave it as an option for those who do use it ...I mean I actually use TT more when i come visit here and I post just as much from my laptop and not the mobile app ... If I want to post here I either use my laptop or TT ... but it is your website my friend ...

I have been doing web and graphic design for years now and I promise you there is no security risk in TT ...

At a minimum can you at least get rid of that annoying popup for those of us that use a mobile browser? I hate that that thing pops up asking to use the app. The little tiny cancel "x" is so hard to hit it always ends up launching the play store to download the app. It's like click bait.

I find TT useless and annoying. It wouldn't bother me in the slightest if you removed it.

I've never had a problem with Tapatalk, on this and many other forums. I find it much more convenient and easier to use than a mobile site

Me too. I have two other forums on there, i like how all the alerts come to one area, no matter the forum its on.

Same here. Used it for about 7 yrs now on various forums.

As a non- Apple user
... Separate apps exist to make viewing on a mobile device easier and Tapatalk does that for me much better than dolphin, Samsung, or Firefox browsers that I have tried. There's definitely a few things I don't like about TT (ie the link redirects via rr.tapatalk... which I can work around easy enough), but by and large it's significantly easier than a browser on my Android device (I access forum 80% from my phone & get initial customer contact that way also).

I've tried using the mobile site a few times. ...i much prefer Tapatalk!

I'm an android guy and i use Tapatalk Pro for multiple forums and have no issues .

Please do not get rid of Tapatalk , i use this forum more than any other forum I'm on and without tapatalk it would suck.

I found this forum on Tapatalk and I'm pretty sure a lot of other folks has found the Ramforum via Tapatalk as well .

I think the Ram Forum should be accessible from as may platforms as possible ...easy tor me to say yes but the more the better imo .
