Taptalk is broken

[griffon]

New site conversion has broken taptalk integration. This kind of frustrating as that was the main way I would get updates on the mobile.
Also seeing lots of errors such as
"There has been some problem publishing your share recently. Click here to try again or dismiss."

SB no longer supports Tapatalk... doesn't show ads for their paying sponsors

It's not broken, it's just not installed at all.

New SB - Printing and Tapatalk

Ah well thanks. But with no mobile friendly client, guess I'm out.

The problem with your social share is that you have it set to push your content to either facebook or twitter.

As above, unfortunately advertising revenue is king. Tapatalk means they can't use their own ad engine to spam you with banners.
Unfortunately, integration, convenience and standards lose out to revenue.

Web hosting doesn't grow on trees. We also can't just do the $5 wordpress hosting from hostgator. This site is and always had been advertiser supported, which keeps it FREE for members.

Thanks.

Really? What a shame that you would leave because of that... the site works fine on my smartphone.

Never saw the need to replicate web content - if well designed for mobile use - on a separate app.

It's a pretty great community, not sure why you think that it shouldn't cost anything. And modern mobile friendly websites actually do adhere to web standards (not guaranteed with third party apps like TapTalk). The site seems just as convenient now as with that app.

If I signed up for a class with you, and you charged me for it, I wouldn't object to that.

Thanks for the positive vibes, guys! We have a hybrid style of advertising here on ScubaBoard. Most of it is not tied to impressions. We've always had issues with Tapatalk, and Google weights us differently for mobile devices depending on if we are responsive. The big reasons for us to move away from third party apps was actually Google and support. Traffic is indeed up and a lot of that is from mobile devices. I'll never be a millionaire off of ScubaBoard, but it does consume my time and costs a good bit to keep running from month to month. I have to make business decisions and I evaluate them as we progress. This was a good decision for ScubaBoard. Give the new site a few days and it will probably grow on you like it did me.
