Tapatalk takes allot of the loading out of the forum for phone users. Instead of rendering a site it only shows the threads. All the splash is out making it a true just "type" forum on the phone and not a webpage.

The bump function IMO wouldn't be no different than the guys that wait 2 hours every 2 hours just bump with a smiley post. I'm almost completely sure in the admin portal you can tell the forum how long it takes before a poster could actually bump their thread. Here I would expect 2 hours and then their "bump" button would be visible to them. Only the thread starter can bump the thread unless someone posts to it during the course of the day.

I hear you about the SR forums. Takes forever for the reply to come back. I still think the link is fine....Your just going to have to wait a bit for that page to render. Yes link only. The tag can be seen once your on their site. No need to link the tag info.

I had a few forums in the past. Vbulletin is nice because if you have the cash they can help maintain a site. When I used phpBB forums in the past you can get help from help forums but to get someone to actually do the maintenance you would have to find someone and not only pay them but give them full control of your site to upgrade and make changes. At least with vbulletin they are employees of vbulletin. Less likely to nuke your site.
