Hi Grant
I am unsure of any security issues, but considering we may just want to read posts while on the road, I cannot see any great concerns.
As for what I write here, it is an open forum and the only privacy issues that may have a bearing is maybe the private messages that are sent via this app.
It would be a useful addition and is a free app
Please reconsider
Cheers

Yep, can appreciate concerns, but I don't participate and use the hubb as much as other forums, because it's not tapatalk enabled, and I miss out when on the road.

With the increased use of smartphones, it may be a good idea to look into some sort of compatibility in the near future. Navigating a screen intended for a computer display on the small display of a phone a real pain.
Browse the HUBB in a tent on those rainy days when you just don't wanna get on the road.

Yes - we're looking at all of this. New design in the works, which will have a mobile "style" for use on smartphones etc. (NOTE: maybe not immediately - more important to get it working first, but mobile is very high on the list. Susan does a LOT of browsing on her phone!)
Tapatalk - yes. this year. 
Again, other stuff comes first.
We hear you!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
