My main issue is how much data it chews, it's the one constant advertisement that keeps changing at the bottom of the screen that is the killer. I do understand you need to have advertisements to run this site and make it profitable and I have no issues with that but most peoples mobile phone plans would be between 1-2gb. If the advertisements were between every 4-5 posts (like you currently have) and just a standard picture that would be great. The ones that constantly change and the main one(bottom of screen) that always flicks threw ADS is chewing up data.There won't be any revolutionary changes to the new mobile site. Tweaks and the like will happen, but what you're looking at is basically how it will stay.
What are your main issues?
When I'm not using my phone I manually turn off data every time so I don't get any surprises. I have 2.5g and now I have to be very cautious of data, since I have been unable to use TT.The fixed ad is, for me, exclusively text. Do you get images and animations?
This new theme is undoubtedly lighter than the full site so I am not sure that bf is the source of your data usage.
OK - it is probably more data compared to Tapatalk, but I wouldn't imagine too much more.When I'm not using my phone I manually turn off data every time so I don't get any surprises. I have 2.5g and now I have to be very cautious of data, since I have been unable to use TT.
You've seen the new mobile version? http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/posts/34182376/a good bf mobile site would be the bomb. refuse to use tapatrack.
I have seen the new/upgraded mobile version, moving around the site is a breeze and you guys did a good job in that department. It's the advertisements that are always in motion that chews up data, I'll give this new mobile version a fresh new month and I'll get back to you on how much it uses the data. I'll also try and find an app to monitor it.OK - it is probably more data compared to Tapatalk, but I wouldn't imagine too much more.

I am surprised you can navigate around without being in one of the user groups that allows Tapatalk use. I wouldn't rely on this method.I have the same issue, and they way i've combated it is to continue to navigate around the site using Tapatalk, just not logged in. If you don't log in you can still read forums etc, you just can't post, see your notifications or like posts. Then if I see something I want to reply to, I just click web view and post using the mobile site, before going back to tapatalk to browse.
It's not ideal but it's better than nothing.

I've been doing this as well - we have been able to view the forum on Tapatalk (since it became necessary to pay money to access), but you can't log in. I was kind of hoping this would go under the radar because it's a far more serviceable option than an HTML site, and I don't want it taken away!I am surprised you can navigate around without being in one of the user groups that allows Tapatalk use.

Ha, me too.I find myself on reddit.com/r/AFL a lot more now that I can't access BigFooty through Tapatalk.
Ha, me too.
So what is the status of Tapatalk now? Does it work reliably with Gold/Platinum BF membership and will it stay this way?
Admin posts seem to suggest that Taptalk access isn't guaranteed in the future. I know Tapatalk takes some admin work, and cuts into ad revenue, so I can understand if it's a paid feature; I just don't want to pay and find it stops working.
