Hello All,

Do we want to re-add Taptalk to our forum? We had to take it down with the launch and we want to address this before moving forward.

Now, one issue I came across was that with the free service, some personal information was being stored and they have begun to sell advertising based upon this information. Personally I can't confirm this as I am not a Tapatalk user, but what I can say, is that when I did use it, I noticed that TT doesn't fully sync up with forums. Theres almost like a delay when things are posted on there.....if that makes sense. To me that's pretty annoying.

Another issue will be the ads and branding that will be spammed on the users. Now to counter this, we can purchase a premium pkg but ofcourse, at a cost to us of $10pr month.

In any case, it's not up to me but up to the members. So please cast your vote and let us know what to do.

A lot of forums have recently began moving away from it!

Also with the new site being optimized for mobile I really don’t see a need for it.

Personally I liked the app better it allowed me to get notifications on post and keep up with other forums. Them storing your date is the last of your worries. I’m sure most of you don’t take the time to read the terms of agreement in all the apps you use they all store data and information. Honestly I’m less likely to go on the mobile site cause it an extra step that I personally could deal without.
 
My sentiments exactly.
Worried about Tapatalk storing stuff yet pusing Facebook in other threads is kind of a joke. Facebook time and again has shown to do it and find ways to do it over and over yet everyone freely uses that.

So quick question.
How do you upload a video with this new setup?
That was one thing that Tapatalk made very easy, photos and videos were simple and plain.

Good question, let me take a look and get back to you

I ended up sending it to YouTube then linking it here. Not optimal for sure. Adding Pics sees to be easily done. I imagine a video should be also. perhaps I'm missing something
