Site Suggestion/Discussion Thread

[DJGuamstyles]

Sup guys, sorry, the theme I am using doesn't have youtube video support...or maybe it's cause I don't know how to install a plugin that allows it to work! Hehe, anyways, thanks to Daewonder bringing it to my attention, I've installed a plugin for tapatalk, which is an easier way to browse the forum on your smartphone. I believe the forum is already optimized for smartphone use, because I can send and receive PMs on my blackberry, and I can see everything that's posted...photos, links, etc., but this may be a better tool. Not sure how it works, but I'm sure if you just check out this stuff below, it may help you out!

I just got the App for iPhone its $2.99, I'll update later with some thoughts.

[FTHATIMFAMOUS]

Ok, I'm not a fan. . . haha

I think the whole purpose of apps like this are to simplify the whole experience, and make it quick and easy. I think they had the right idea, and good intentions, but got to complicated and made it harder than just using Safari. Unless you feel like taking a chance and exploring it, Just use Safari, and do what youve been doing. It isnt that bad. But maybe if someone else DLs the app they might shine some light on it for me and I wont be able to put it down, anything can happen!

Thanks for installing it B!

I'm on Android so idk what seeing the forum on Safari is like. For me it would come up normally, no mobile version. I'd have zoom in every time I load a new page.

With tapatalk it's much easier to browse, it saves my user/pass, and I get notifications for topics I watch or when I receive PMs. Plus it's a one stop shop if you frequent other forums as well.

I guess it helps that I rooted my phone and can use apps for "free" too.

Maybe it'll take some time to get used to, I'll give it a chance.

Glad it works for you daewond3r! My blackberry loads it up just fine as well, and that's thru the regular web browser. I did however enable an option in my site admin panel, to make it phone browser friendly, or some shit like that.

Dude, I just put up a site hits counter on the front of the blog, and it already has 189 hits so far, and it's only been like 2-3 hrs. since it's been up. I wonder if it counts forum visits, or not? It's super tiny, and in the bottom center of the footer, on the front page of the blog. Check it out daily, to see where we are!

[FTHATIMFAMOUS]

Also almost at 200 members!

[wolfstrice09]

26,760 hits in a lil over a month

[FTHATIMFAMOUS]

24,000 of those are me. . .

[wolfstrice09]

haha but I thought I was 12,000 of them?...

[FTHATIMFAMOUS]

GUAM! Your thing is broken!

[wolfstrice09]

GUAM! Your thing is broken!

I lol'd for a good minute when I read that

[DJGuamstyles]

Hehe, how's it broken?! It just counts visits.

I've added a favorite icon to the site, so it should show a little icon next to the site address now.
