Only 3 easy steps to make your forum's app on iPhone/Android/Nokia:
Registration to the Forum Owner Area is free and easy. Once you enter, you will be guided by the 3 step wizard. The first step is to download a Tapatalk Plugin that's compatible with your forum system (Currently vBulletin and phpBB3 are supported). The Plugin is designed to be safe and easy to install/uninstall. It does not modify or replace any of your current system configurations however it inherits all of your forum security policies. And uninstall is as easy as removing a directory.
Once you have installed the Plugin, you can submit your forum information including your forum URL and logo to be displayed on iPhone/Android/Nokia app. The wizard can also determine whether you have installed the plug-in successfully. This allow your forum members to access to your forum without entering your forum URL on the mobile device.
Assuming you have installed the latest Tapatalk Plug-in at your server, your forum is ready to be published to Tapatalk Network so your members can find their way to your forum using the Tapatalk app on iPhone/Android/Nokia. You can either make it appear to everyone (great for exposure!) or set it as "Search Only" where only people knowing your forum name can discover it.
