Tapatalk is now enabled for a 1 week trial.  Please let me know your thoughts.  This was made possible due to a generous donation from Ian MacMillan.

It's an app for iPads and such that allows the forums to be read easier.  Tapping on the tiny icons can be difficult at times when reading from mine, but I'm not paying for an app when I can get it for free via normal methods in Safari.

When you go to the railwire on your phone it should give you a message that it has Tapatalk support. Give it a bit to populate Tapatalks search server. Maybe tomorrow or later tonight.

It currently supports

Android (Phones and Tablets)
iPhone
iPad
Blackberry
Chrome

While I still don't understand how I need an "app" for this, the last time I logged on with my phone I saw the message pop up about "this forum has special software support blah blah blah"  I just hit cancel.  :)
