Issue seems to be fixed which is strange. Oh well...

[kitz]

I've not changed anything at this end, but glad it's fixed.

IMHO tapatalk can be awfully buggy at times.  I've had unexplained weirdness on the iOS version a few times.   

As far as the forum side of things, I dread each time there's an update to apply to smf.  I have a few times seriously considered removing it totally because its a pita to update.   The only reason I've stuck with it is because I know it can be very useful when it works.

kitz is good you made your site mobile friendly without making it rubbish on desktop devices.  some other sites I have used have wrecked their desktop experience to satisfy mobile users.

[kitz]

Thanks chrys. 

This site is commited to the desktop format first and foremost.  Whilst mobile access is good, its not always the best medium for viewing things such as linestats and other data/images. Screen size and mobile data transfer speeds will have to improve a heck of a lot before it even anywhere near catches up with being able to view on a desktop/laptop. Afterall we talk broadband problems and not mobile.

Im aware that tapatalk has last week released yet another AMF forum update, but atm its on hold until Im certain that I have a whole evening (and based on historic experience probably all nighter) to spare before I install.

As far as I can see, not yet having installed the latest update doesnt seem to have affected tapatalk not being able to still access the forum, so Im leaving it until I'm not having to do the 5.30am starts  - despite the admin nags Im getting daily in my mailbox.


In the meantime if there is any problem there still is the mobile version which is available at

Its pretty basic and doesnt have any formatting but thats the idea as it does the job by loading the forum extremely quickly without any graphical bulk - so its cheap on mobile data limits and costs.

Need to take the forums offline for 2 mins to complete another update for something else.  Its all prepped so shouldnt take long

Updated to latest version.

I believe there's a feature in settings with which one can banish the annoying signature “sent from the toilet by Tapatalk” that it keeps inserting, polluting the posts.

I really hate the new Tapatalk apps. The design is overcluttered and confusing.

[Weaver]

I tried it out briefly on my iPad, and it seemed clean stylish and swift. But it guzzled a lot of screen real estate whilst not succeeding in getting too much good stuff displayed, so I stopped using it.

how do I use tapatalk with my existing forum account? when I tried it about 2 weeks ago it wanted me to register a tapatalk account.

[kitz]

Tapatalk is designed to manage multiple forums so you need a tapatalk account to manage your forums.  I have a tapatalk account even though I only use it to test that things work on here as the plugin seems very popular on mobile phones.  Alternatively I think you can use your facebook or twitter account to manage your forums.
