February 26, 20241 yr @immamac unless I missed it above, what’s the deal? Can we throw a few dollars to keep it?
February 26, 20241 yr Tapatalk has been unsupported for a long time I announced it years ago. I’m not doing anything to fix it, tapatalk is ass. Their support is ass, their software is ass everything about it is shitty. Stop using it.

February 26, 20241 yr It's back up and running now, for how long well..who knows So much better! I’ve used tapa for years and can fly through reading threads/get to certain sections of surly.That safari/mobile version was about 1/5th of the speed once you get past loading the entire site/pics/avatars and hope it brings you to the last post read…maybe.And yes, tiny links ftl

Quit being a boomer and create add SurlyHorns to your home screen of your phone and you can just click on that. https://www.androidauthority.com/add-website-android-iphone-home-screen-3181682/

It also does work for you and everyone else, stop blaming your own stupidity on it not working.
February 26, 20241 yr i used the surly app for a couple days before tapa came back last night. i still prefer tapa mainly because 1.) it's faster and 2.) the threads in the Unread tab condense more substantially than the surly app. there's something off in the spacing in the surly app Unread tab vs the regular subforums. maybe turning off the preview feature would help but i didn't find it.

Ps not everyone is a boomer, FFS.

February 26, 20241 yr Something tells me the CEO of tapa isn’t getting a Christmas card from the surly overlord households

I haven’t uploaded pics in a long time so I apologize for saying I had issues in the past with Safari mobile. My recollection is I had to host the image online somewhere to make it viewable. No need to be a dick about people using an app that they found helpful to access your site. I like Tapatalk and was the guy who first recommended that app to blacklab and he was very appreciative and happy to make it available to shaggy users 15 years ago. OoTunes is still the best radio app with the widest selection of radio stations and it hasn’t been updated in 10 years. Similarly, Tapatalk might have flaws but it still is very user friendly and efficient tool to check message boards. Edited February 26, 20241 yr by Macklemore
February 26, 20241 yr Checking out the Surly App and it's great, very smooth. Not sure why the browsers are so bad.

February 26, 20241 yr Bro, I use the mobile site, some of the complaints are 1000% valid. This thread isn’t 112 pages long because shit is perfect. Even you know that.

Why can't they make it easier! TAPA users probably still using aol discs to log onto the World Wide Web.
February 26, 20241 yr Tappa talk (yswidt) not going away. My Surly icon changed today. That’s odd for something that was “dropped”.

TAPA users probably still using aol discs to log onto the World Wide Web.Fuck off and let me use my gottdamned free hours how i please!

They fixed whatever they fucked up after I submitted an email then I logged in and changed the logo because I didn't know it was some random ass logo from before we had an official one.
February 26, 20241 yr Cool. Thanks Now if they’re just get their unread issue fixed I’d be back in full business.

February 27, 20241 yr For those on Tapa, the forum is listed again. Edit: Just saw it was mentioned already.

March 3, 20241 yr Cool. Thanks Now if they’re just get their unread issue fixed I’d be back in full business. Came here to post this and see if anyone had any idea what is going on. All threads, subscribed or not, have no indication of what's unread.
March 5, 20241 yr Why do Twitter embeds now take so long to load when scrolling a thread? They take about 5-8 seconds to load.
March 7, 20241 yr From my experience, they don't load until they are front and center in the screen. Might not be the worst thing for User Experience.
March 8, 20241 yr sorry for today's hiccup. Someone decided it would be hilarious to spam the leaderboard on the browse function and loaded it up with a about a thousand queries that backed up the database and caused a few hiccups due to reaching max connections and then never completed because they were all shitting on eachother to try to do something. that was a fun little exercise to clean up.
March 9, 20241 yr I’m aware that Imma hates tapa and doesn’t want to support it. I also don’t care and I’m going to use it if it works because, like many others as well documented in this thread, I find it easier to use. Insult me all you want, call me stupid, call me a boomer, whatever the fuck makes you feel good. DGAF. It is working for me now and I appreciate whatever caused that to happen. My question though for anyone that can or wants to answer:I now see ads on it which I never did before. Wondering how to get rid of those if possible. Is it a surly thing or a tapa thing? I’m sure I’m just a dipshit, I get it. But at least one legit answer would be appreciated.

March 9, 20241 yr Yeah I’ve used both. Tapatalk is actually ass tier. Computer expert can't understand why non-computer experts don't want to abandon the comfortable setup they are familiar with for the "easy" system he developed.J/kBut I've used Tapa for years with other sites and like having all of my different forums in one spot, the ease of uploading pics, jumping to my participated threads automatically, etc. I can switch forums without having to navigate in a browser. I'm old.That about sums it up. Yeah, I used the browser method when Tapa was down, and I figured out how to show activity in threads I posted in, but I came back when Tapa worked again.
