It's been broken for at least a couple of weeks. What's the deal? If it's not going to come back anytime soon, can we at least get the forum on Tapatalk?

It was removed a while ago because it was having problems with posts from it showing up. As of now there is no plans on getting tapatalk working. Rick does not want to have to pay for the software across all his sites for it for a extremely small amount of users who would use it. You can search and find Ricks exact response.
What phone and browser are you trying to access the site from? I use the standard site in both Opera and Chrome on my android phones and have never seen a need for a mobile version.

Q: How much does it cost?
A: As a forum owner you are free to activate Tapatalk in your forum, and you are free to remove/deactivate it anytime you want to.

Brainey, would you please motivate Rick to get Tapatalk going for us?

You must have never used the mobile version, then. It was probably 10x faster and at least 10x easier to use. It was actually easy to browse the forum from my phone (android) with the mobile site, not as good as Tapatalk but still decent. Now it's a huge pain in the *** and I won't bother.

I my case I need to zoom and scroll too much to make it useful.
The point of having a mobile version is to get the core content in a format that is not needed to zoom and scroll like crazy.
Or is just my Android browser that is unable to make the site choose a suitable width on the header bar?
In landscape format the full MT forum looks much better. But a version with half the width would be nice (have only played with phpBB3, so unsure whats possible to wish from vBullentin)

Why the heck have they used a template that wide (600+??) for a thin interface.
