+1. I love the app and will often choose to use it even with a computer nearby. Navigation is easier.
Security is very important though, understand where you are coming from.

Sucks, sucks and sucks this website.
I donated too and service are getting worse.

For now the plan is later tomorrow (22nd). Before we pull the plug I'm going to write detailed instructions for how to set up PushBullet for push notifications to your mobile.
Also just got this in from a forum admin:
"not to mention tapatalk harvests users activites (including cookieless tracking) and sells that info to advertisers. with, from what i hear, no opt-out possible (which is against the law). good idea to toss tapatalk."
Good riddance, TT.

That's rough. I've maybe accessed TB twice in the last 12 months on the computer, but use it multiple times a day on the app. I find navigating the app way simpler. This is kind of rough after we just changed everything over not to long ago. You should really look into finding a replacement for this sooner rather than later.
I get the security concerns, and I think your doing the right thing, however, I will be spending a lot less time on the site, because it's a pain to use on my iPhone. Please see what you can do to improve the user experience on mobile platforms. Compared to the app, navigation is difficult, load times are slow, buttons are tiny, the text is too small, it's just an all around pain n the ass to use.
So no tapatalk at all? mmh... better star getting used to the mobile website then. I like the watched threads tab in the app. Also like being able to upload photos straight from the phone. I haven't tried to do it through the mobile website, is it possible?
Wow I just switched over to check it out and see what you guys were talking about with the slow load times. And also still not as easy to navigate, and not as easy to pull up as just hitting the app on my iPod to check in real quick. This isn't very condusive to just jumping on if you have a minute.
Things like text size and button size are easy to change. We could even offer an alternative "XL" mobile style with big text and buttons.
Absolutely.
No, I just tried and it asked for the image url... So I'm going to need some image hosting account now?Things like text size and button size are easy to change. We could even offer an alternative "XL" mobile style with big text and buttons.

Okay, after 15 minutes of using the web browser version on my iPhone, I have come to the conclusion that it is not for me. I guess I'll have to find something else to do with my free time. This is probably a good thing, less gas too.
Also, if all of the images I have uploaded to different threads have been done through tapatalk (uploaded directly from my phone's gallery), will they be deleted once the tapatalk "connection" is done?
They will not be deleted. Those images are on the TalkBass server and will continue to be served by the TB webserver.
