let me also just add in our hobby, Remote Controlled Helicopters.. most everyone uses mobile devices.. and alot of them, more than i even would have guessed, access information while they are out at the field enjoying their models.. an issue arises and they begin to search the 3 or 4 forums in our hobby that have good information for troubleshooting..
we are not only getting a LOT of tapatalk requests.. but our users are chomping for us to get a mobile version site as well..

A mobile ready theme for simple press is something that we are hard at work… With 5.2.2 released it is now the primary focus of our activities… a majority of the forum pages now look wonderful on mobile devices… we have a few more to go, then have to make sure all the plugins are handling that correctly… and then finally we will need to make some overlays for the singular mobile theme we are developing…
timeframe? hard to say but I would certainly think its in the 1st quarter… depends on how much we get sidetracked by other issues…
That is Fantastic news.. i dont think its necessary for tapatalk to be involved. the idea being mobile accessibility. If you guys can get that worked out.. that would be fantastic..
if you need beta testers id gladly offer up our forum for that.. let me know

Guys I’m really interested in the mobile functionality…. Tapa or not : )
My website is fully responsive and the forum so far is a mess… I bet it’s something we can do by involving mediaqueries into css styling…
mobile theme is chugging along nicely… just like your wp site, you have to have an sp theme that is responsive… so that is what we are creating… a mobile responsive sp theme… some new functionality is needed in core to support this… it wont magically make your current sp theme be responsive.. but it will provide a blueprint for one to customize their own responsive sp theme if needed..
as to tapa, it really has to start with them… we will help where we can and its needed, but first step is them… they have recently stated they intend to begin offering SP support… not sure what has happened since then…

In one word – nothing .
I’m building a site for a very large community would love to use SP (I still use it on My own site) but they require Tapatalk so going to have to use a Tapatalk supported forum
Tapatalk has a WordPress ready plug-in now. I haven’t been able to get it to work yet but will let you all know as soon as I do.
I’m not sure yet if it will support the forum or not.
please do… they were rumored to be working simple press support but we couldnt confirm… and it has to start on their end… then perhaps we can join in…
I had to remove the responsiveness feature on my WP site because of issues with menu customization and chat bar features.
In order to use a responsiveness feature, all plugins and 3rd party products would have to also resize which i found to be a pain in the butt.
Now, most smart phones come with a browser that displays regular wep pages anyways.
yes, correct… in order for sp to be responsive, the underlying wp site must also be since we are but a plugin/child to it…
