and all works well? Do you use resource manager on any of them?
Yes. I will admit support is overwhelmed and frustrating at times, but I am happy with the product.

They ARE. They found the site on Tapatalk via suggestions and/or searching the list.Maybe because all the people visiting your site or registering via tapatalk are not actually people interested in your forums, but are actually spammers.
Thanks. But with the BYO we have complete control of the ads. I will double check that.
When I looked at that option I found you only have control of 2 or 3 ad spots. These had specific dimensions. In other words, you don't have true control - you can't place more ads because they don't let you - you get 2 or 3 ad spots - on their template - you don't have access to the template - you can't change it the way you want. ... Have they changed this? I'd be surprised.
Those are good points.
However traditionally - and I think it still stands - if you have good content, SEO and calls to action, you will get new members. 20 members a day is not a lot.
But if you give up most of your ad real estate - and ad revenue - to a third-party app, you mostly likely don't get it back.
Apps have their place for some people and they don't for others.
Those of you using BTW must be earning a reasonable amount in revenue already to justify the $99 setup fee and $39 monthly cost. There's no way that a small forum like mine could afford that. I don't get much through adsence. I do get more through Viglink but that's all through the website, I got nothing from Tapatalk's Viglink setup when I used them. That was a nice fiddle they did there, changing the previous setup from where you linked your Viglink account to where Tapatalk pay you directly, presumably after they've taken a slice of the revenue.
For some it is an investment.
I've used it for this exact purpose, and it's worked incredibly well.Well we were considering only the BYO for brand purposes. But from what I gather it just doesn't work. Have you used them at all?
In a year or two, browsers would have push notifications as well. Unless your app would do something remarkable, for now I can only see how your clock is ticking.Just saw this.. I have spent some time reviewing the feedback here and thank you all the input. The idea of BYO is really putting your app into App Store / Google Play search engine, exactly like what Brent mentioned earlier, plus the opportunity to monetize..
We have recently integrated StopForumSpam into Tapatalk as the first step to flight off spammer and we have blocked few hundreds of users on daily basis.. It's a good start and we are putting more attention on this going forward.
The idea of Tapatalk is to drive more users to your community, the app itself make it super easy for people to sign up and join, despite he is a lurker but you get to access his profile and email and ultimately you can reach out to email to retain them back to your community and encourage them to participate.
The app is delivering over 10 millions push notifications every day, 30% of users re-engage to your community thru push notifications and we provide this expensive infrastructure pretty much free for everyone.
It is a different animal as responsive layout. I think getting the site responsive is top pirority, and then get the app to power users to participate and contribute content back to your community.. more content, more index, and more SEO from Google...
Happy to exchange thoughts and idea.. This year we will put our focus on three things: 1) tablet 2) search 3) registration.
