Damn, imma deleted all posts about Rex, fucking weird. 

Discussed in Gone Posters thread.

This site loads slow for me on both pc and ipad. No issues on other sites. Anyone else running into this? I may have aids.

What just happened?

Fuck if I know. 99% of the time, I surf/post on Surly using Chrome and in dark mode. At first, it was telling me to change the theme, which I tried to do. After that, I went over to my Firefox browser and it was okay (not in dark mode), then it too fucked up.

I'd actually like to switch back to dark mode because this white hot blazing screen hurts my eyes at night and am afraid it's all going to come tumbling down again, but I'd like to get caught up on a few threads before hitting the hay.

PC Load Letter?  What the FUCK does that mean

I want a fucking explanation. 

For those still using tapa, I had resisted using mobile because there was a nice scrolling capability on tapa. However I got so sick of tapa’s bullshit I finally switched to the mobile site about two months ago. It’s fine and you get used to the different ui. Do it. It feels good to tell tapa to eff off.

Ok, so I’m trying to make the switch over to SurlyMobile, but I want to replicate the subscribed tab from Tapa. I typically just browse the recruiting threads and coaching carousel. But tapa is nice because it lists your subscribed thread and if unread content is there, the thread is bolded. 
Looking at mobile, I’m subscribed to the same threads but cant find where to see it all listed? 
Is that what a stream is?

nb - I suck at this stuff and also huffed paint as a child.

Custom activity feed or use this and set as your default.

I just use the bell Notifications icon in the menu bar at the bottom. It shows me all my subscribed threads, posts that have quoted mine and posts that have received reactions

The feed "Twitterizes" it into a scrollable auto refreshing thing.

upgrading the site. 

can we upgrade some posters also?

 

Okay, so I have been a stubborn Tapa user.  what's the link for connecting to the mobile site?  Does it go through the series of tubes that is the internet?

Showing expired certificate

Yeah, I'm still a fan of Tapa and wish it was fixed.  I don't like the mobile site on an iPhone.  I don't like needing to expand the page to avoid clicking on a poster's profile rather than the forum topic and other things like that. 

Imma I am sure you are aware that the response time on the site is really slow on a PC in Chrome at 187 down speeds.

Avid tapa user for years. And I don’t do well with change.

But I’m trying Ringo  I’m trying real hard. 
 

So far, I’m slowly starting to get it.

 

 

Also seems slow on Safari on iPhone. Is there a better browser to be using? Or is that just a function of other stuff going on?

I’ll look into the slowness. 

Already way better. 

Agreed.

btw where does one click in the web version to get to their custom named streams?

This is where I’m at. Tapa always seemed faster and less cluttered but I’ll make do.

So no more tapatalk?

Guess who just paid to get ad-free Tapa?

Yeah tapa is not going to work unless they fix it. I'm done with that shit ass software the mobile site is so much better. 

And how does that get expedited?

Team Tapa here for the reasons Hate and others have stated. With iPhone, it's just more seamless. The mobile site can't seem to remember where I left off in a thread. I'm sure that has been discussed and there is a solution that was openly talked about in all the young people techy talk, but if so, it flew over my head. Not to mention this isn't the only board people peruse. Keeping them all in one satchel is, well, convenient.

tchookem and me

I hate to say it.  I mean I REALLY hate to say it, but fucking texaggy mobile is better than surly mobile.  Goddamn, i fucking hate myself for saying it.

Do want Tapa back. Mobile site is too cluttered and cumbersome to get around.

Server status: it's complicated

thank the tapatalk people. it's fixed btw. I upgraded a bunch of stuff last night and one of the defaults was set too aggressively and filled up the database server - i was passed out so my alerting (which worked) just didn't wake me up.

(it's not really their fault, i got them to fix it this morning though as a coincidence)

Thanks! As a tapa user I really appreciate it.

This website is pretty damn stable.  I wish our recruiting was half as reliable …

I work for a large tech company and at least parts our website are broken like 25% of every single day.  Surly is a gem compared to our bullshit.
