<p>I'm looking into changing the hosts again due to the performance and outages we have been experiencing. While I'm looking into that, I'm also going to look at new software as Invision is getting a bit dated and it's been a while since we had a fresh coat of paint. (Shakes fist at work schedule)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Had a question, how many of you are using Tapatalk? A few of the replacements I'm looking at that don't support Tapatalk, but instead offer responsive themes that work well on a mobile device (I want the Fern to be fast).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also, any digital artists out there want to have a crack at a new banner?</p>

<p>I've stopped using tapatalk, as they switched to a feed of all subscribed forums, and I can't work out how to just view the Fern. I generally prefer good responsive/mobile themes now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One thing I find annoying is when a mobile/responsive theme does not offer formatting controls (e.g. quote, italics, links etc).</p> -

<p>I tried out tapatalk at the start, and didn't really like it.</p> -
<p>I prefer responsive design and only use tapatalk on my tablet because I can't recall my login.</p>
-
<p>I don't use tapatalk and only access the Fern from a (Windows) desktop PC or laptop, not from my mobile.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Apart from the formatting controls (see Tim's post), I'd appreciate it if we can post tweets, Youtube videos and photos (preferably re-sizable, but that's not essential). At the moment, we can't post tweets and instagram photos.</p> -

<p>Bloody hell Stargazer, we're not the NZ Herald or Stuff! ;)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As to the questions asked, I don't use Tapatalk, the mobile version is fine on my phone for the few times I use it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm with Hooroo, the banner looks good, why change it for change's sake?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hopefully the new one looks kind of the same - one of the other forums (not rugby) I go to upgraded and I just find it completely weird now and hardly ever post there.</p> -

<p>I'm surprised any of the Willis' here have eyesight good enough to read from phones. :)</p> -

<p>Ok, was worried I might have a tapatalk revolt on my hands. The mobile responsive view of the one I'm trialing looks great</p>

<p>I use tapatalk for mobile access, but would happily delete it.</p> -
<p>I don't use tapatalk and TBH don't use the mobile for browsing much anyway as I'm normally always close to a pc/laptop. I agree that the banner is fine as it is with one small change if possible. Can you keep the banner in place when you scroll down the thread so that we can jump around a bit easier?</p>

Just don't change it too much. At my age I don't handle change well.

<p>I relate to comments like that disturbingly well for someone still relatively young by fern years......</p> -

<p>I use Tap-a-talk, a quite early model but it has given good service over the years. £1 11s 6d at an Army disposal store back in '62, after we had dispatched the dastardly Hun in the second Big Show.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm not quite sure about what the young people here mean by "mobile". If I stretch it I can use it at this end of the dining room table and at the other end too, which means it is mobile I suppose, but if someone comes in from the stables they walk right into the wires and knock the bloody thing flying!</p>

<p>I am quite old and I need to rest now.</p>
