    Suggestion: To allow the Responsive Design feature of XenForo on the forums. This is more or less a Mobile Version.

    Reason: In my opinion, Tapa Talk is horrible. Why I need an extra app to view the ECC site/forums I don't know. Having it all as one would be nicer. The responsive design for Flexile is actually really nice In my opinion.

    Any Other Information: We could maybe make this togglable, So users can switch between the desktop site, and the Mobile, Responsive design.

    Link To This Plugin: XenForo Admin CP > Appearance > Styles > Flexile > Responsive Design

    There are also other options there to change/ Edit. I will look for a solution to be able to toggle the responsive design feature.

    Hmmm I think this would be a good idea. I personally like the desktop sight but the responsive design seems alot more manageable. So u can respond on the mobile version and read with the desktop version. I like it.

    The suggestion isn't to remove tapatalk... Its to enable the mobile version of the site using the mobile phone's browser.

    Yeah, TapaTalk is pretty awful.

    I haven't seen the mobile version of the forum, but if it's better than TapaTalk, then +1

    +1 I have seen this on many xenforo forums including my own, and I would like this to be implemented into ECC forums.

    +1. Tapatalk doesn't show the forums , it just shows recent postings, and is hard to get to what you want. A mobile version of the ECC forums would be an amazing addition

    This is very easy to add, it could also be toggle able for users to change between desktop version and the mobile version. If the admins want me to explain I can explain how to do make it toggle able :)

    You obviously don't understand the concept of the term "Mobile Version"

    Please show us Xenforo forums "With Responsive Design" vs "Without Responsive Design" using visuals (ex. pictures).

    Yes. I will use the default XenForo theme from "www.xenforo.com" do demonstrate.

    Basically, if responsive design is not enabled then the user will get the same theme layout as the desktop version. If the forums are repsponsive, it will look something like this:
