Admins: Can you make the Dope work with Tapatalk?

Sorry to triple-post, but another drawback appears to be that quoted text is truncated. According to this post on the Tapatalk forum, you can prevent that by modifying the “shorten_quote” parameter to “0” in the serverside “config/config.txt” file.

Wow! I had pretty low expectations of this actually happening, but the SDMB keeps impressing me! Xash, big thanks for giving this a chance!

I won’t be making any custom edits, because I don’t know all the dependencies and it’ll just add unnecessary complexity if/when any plug-in is uninstalled.

My first response using the software. It’s interesting that they let you add an image but doesn’t have controls that let you format text.

I agree. Disappointing.

OK. Speaking for myself, that’s a big blow to the usability of it if I can only see a small portion of what’s being quoted, and have to go hunting down the original post to see what was said.

I think I misunderstood you earlier. I thought the edit was to be made in SDMB root config file, but I see now that the edit is to be made in the config file of Tapatalk.

I’ve changed it from 1 to 0. Let me know if it works for you now.

It does indeed… showing the entire quoted text now. Thanks!

Testing the posting function. Cannot format text.

Ok.

If you find any other useful settings I can tweak, let me know.

OK, now can you make Tapatalk work for WebOS?

Tapatalk seems to be a very small team, and they are very slow with new features, let alone new platforms. I think their next focus would be iPad before WebOS.

Ooh. Automatically added my sig. Hmmm.

Downloaded the free RO version and it looks very cool. Might download the full version when I get bored at work (meaning 6 minutes after I punch in). A definite improvement.

Yeah, I know… wish I’d known this before I bought the Pre, it might have changed my mind to the Droid.

Just be informed that if we switch Tapatalk off, you’ll have to figure out other ways to get your $3 worth.

On further evaluation, I like that it gives me a preview of the OP; something that wasn’t available in Safari or Opera.

But couldn’t we have some colors? The design template is so bare. And no landscape mode? That’s very surprising.

Oh, and can it not start me off on Page 4? I like to read my threads in chronological order when I first enter them, which usually means Page 1.

For those on a jailbroken iPhone, get QuickScroll from Cydia for superior scrolling within the Tapatalk app.

I sprang for the full version, just to give it a whirl. This is awesome. Awesome. I hope it doesn’t poison the hamsters, cause I could definitely get used to this.

Test for formatting. Hmmmmm…

Ah, you can bold and stuff with HTML tags, but the formatting does not show up in Tapatalk. It does show up on the regular Dope though.

Good to know!

(no wait between searches) shhhhh
