Yeah, I don't think tapa will be necessary.  The site looks really good in safari on my phone.

I’d rather use Tapa as well, but y’all are right about it looking better in a browser.

Anyone else missing a bunch of images? Mostly icon images for me. Some show, most don’t.

 

 

Tapa's huge benefit is ability to upload photos directly from your phone.  Layout on this site may look good in a browser on your phone, but unless the capability to upload photos is added, then tapatalk serves an important purpose.

That, and that it is super easy to track participated/subscribed threads. Plus notification handling.

The notifications seemed like they stopped working a while ago but I still appreciated the ability to see participated/subscribed threads easily.

Going to first Post not read is a great feature that I use all the time

Click on the star next to the title in the unread screen and you get that with this mobile site

That, and I don't have to remember what page of each thread I'm on

Anyone found a way to adjust text size? Seems like the board text is smaller than other websites.

So far the browser on the phone seems to work nicely 

For real, welcome to the 2010s and responsive design! Just need the ability to update how many posts you see on a page.

Are we animals?  I don't want to surf a message board in safari like a god-damn savage.

Yeah, but it makes our dicks seem bigger in comparison. 

Fuck tapa

Site actually has a reasonable mobile view, why bother?

News flash: Apps are dead. PWAs are the New Hotness. Just wait until iOS 11.3 comes out.

Android users, of course, have had PWAs for over a year now.

Actually, this site works pretty well without Tapa.

 

Still want Tapa.

 If it doesn't have dark mode, then we need Tapa just for that reason 

Dark mode would be the tits. I've only been here an hour and my eyes are already beginning to strain.

Sometime tapa hater, but pic hosting and dark mode are already immediately missed. 

Absolutely this.

My phone browser has its own dark mode (Samsung).

You can shove your phone up your ass.

Took a minute to look at this. In ios safari, using firefox focus as a content filter (aka adblock) will nix half the images. Turned off, missing images now show.

Also on a Samsung. Please teach me.

Three dots in upper right, scroll to Turn on Night Mode.

This is on an S8, but samsung usually puts same features on their stuff for all ones.

Appreciate that but it looks like mine doesn't have that option. Mine only allows for filtering blue light.

It is important that we defer to ERhine's image-posting preferences for obvious reasons.

Settings --> add-ons --> search for dark mode.

 

When you click on the three dots you'll have the option at the very bottom.
