Any Chance of Joining Tapatalk or a Mobile Friendly App?

As above, really. tz-uk works great on Tapatalk with particularly easy photo uploading through the App.

Any chance??

PH has a mobile site, so there isn’t a need to have an app. The photo uploading has always been terrible since I joined the forums, so I doubt it will get any attention from the devs.

Tinypic gone now which I used to upload some photos. Now there's just the broken link showing.

It's unlikely to happen because PH is written with a custom forum software dating back to PetrolTed (yep, we're still running on Classic ASP code from 1998).

To integrate with Tapatalk would require us to write our own integrations to the Tapatalk API, and we're more likely to rewrite our forum software from the ground up with those features than bolt on anything else to the platform.

It's easy for other car forums because they use off the shelf forum software like vBulletin, phBB, etc. which makes it as simple as installing a plugin.

Thankyou, Matt!

So PH Forums on vBulletin/phBB would be possible, would get rid of the 20 year old incompatible stuff, and make future PH Forums easy to do stuff with?

Yes. But they wouldn't be able to handle the amount of traffic required to run PistonHeads forums.
