Hello, I'm Okan (pronounced oh-kahn, or like O'Conner without the -er). That is my actual name, so I am glad I was able to snag that as a username. I am a truck driver from London, Ontario.

I've been subscribed to the YouTube channel for a while now, as I really enjoy TTL's reviews, but have only been to the site a few times to read reviews while researching potential purchases. I bought a Gigabyte 3D Aurora case years back, and this site was one of the reviews I read that convinced me on it.

Signed up for the forums for the Gigabyte 780 contest. Like everyone else, I could really use it. Planning a new build for late 2013 or early 2014 to replace my i7-920/GTX 275 rig.

I have been trying to capitalize my words to make this more formal, for a reason I can't figure out. Please don't expect that from me in any of my other posts.

Does this forum support Tapatalk? I use that app on my iPhone to view other forums I frequent, and it makes the forum experience quite nice on mobile devices.

Welcome to the forum dude! As for tapatalk i'm not sure but maybe someone else can tell you
 
Welcome mate,
Unfortunately no tapatalk support, it was suggested a while ago but some people said that due to it being a forum about PCs, might be best keeping only available on your computer.

That really is unfortunate. I am able to check my phone all throughout the day, whereas it's rare for me to be able to visit the forums on my PC due to my job. I am away from home a week at a time, and only home for a day or two. I have a laptop in the truck, but when I park for the night my girlfriend (who rides with me) and I like to watch a couple shows before sleeping.

It's not the end of the world. I'm typing this post from my phone. It just works a lot better with Tapatalk. Hopefully the right people will reconsider.

I completely agree with you, it's a lot easier for me to browse the forums on my commute during the week than when I'm at home as I have other things do on my PC. I've just remembered the main reason why it wasn't added, advertising, it's how the board is supported and without the advertising revenue which can't be gotten from tapatalk the forum can't survive.

Never heard of that being said?

I figure the convenience of Tapatalk would help retain users as we would be more invested in the forums. I don't think anyone prefers to use their mobile devices over an actual keyboard and mouse. But when we are away from our machines for work or whatever reason, we can still participate. It's not like all of a sudden everyone starts using Tapatalk. If anything, I think it would drive more traffic to the content side of things, and I believe the ads still show up there.
