I spent $6 on Tapatalk Pro years ago and have had no major issues. If I have to switch someday I will, but while it's running it's a much better fit for the way I browse the two message boards I frequent than their mobile sites.

Ages ago (2011-ish) I started using it when in low bandwidth / spotty cell coverage areas. It would load tons faster than the web UI on mobile. It was good for that scenario.

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)

well it's fixed so don't fucking @ me about tapatalk anymore holy fuck.

Hey, immamac….hey.

Hey…..

Hey….

Hey immamac….

Thanks for fixing Tapa. It really is so much easier to use on a mobile.

I was starting to have to read weather forecasts while I took a dump. Going full-on old man.
well it's fixed so don't fucking @ me about tapatalk anymore holy fuck.

Thanks man.

I for one appreciate all the work you do immamac

I’ve been getting error messages on Safari on my iPhone saying site won’t load because of “too many connections” whatever that means.

You should use Tapatalk.

As a devout Tapatalker I decided to give the mobile site a shot. Once you get over a little learning curve it’s actually pretty good, and handles embedded media better. 
 

The one thing missing is the total post count. As I’m scrolling I have no idea how many more posts are in a thread. Tapa shows the current post number and the total, and allows you to jump to a post or quickly jump pages. I haven’t seen where you can do that on mobile.

I tried it as well, but it kept automatically playing YouTube vids that I didn’t click on. I’m sure there’s a setting to change, but it was not a good time during a meeting. Embarrassing. Back to tapa.

Your mistake was being in the meeting in the first place

You cant touch imbedded videos while you are scrolling. 

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.

When you tap a rep or quote notification, it doesn’t take you to the relevant post but somewhere down thread, typically around 5 posts away.

Which browser are you using?

Safari

Not gonna start a thread for this, but in Tapatalk, there are a ton of pinned topics in Football subforum. Any idea why so many show up? Seems excessive or some sort of software glitch going on. Screenshot_20211204-195048.jpg

Yeah I’ve wondered about that too

My iPhone view just switched from black/dark mode to white mode. I can’t figure out how to switch it back. 
halp.

Same and same issue. Not always, but most of the time. More often it’s with rep notifications, rather than quotes.

Should be a bar of icons at the top of the page. Touch the one that is a crescent moon. 
 

(when in dark mode, this space is a light bulb icon)

Site keeps logging me out on my mobile phone

If you swipe left on the pinned threads you can hide them.

I discovered that by accident and it’s made my time on the Football board much better.

This seems like it’s gotten tremendously more sensitive lately. Scrolling rapidly through some shit-filled thread like the Ewers threads almost always results in unwanted videos playing. I don’t remember that being an issue until a few weeks ago.

a lot of multiples all over.  taking me about 30 seconds to post as well.

what shit is borked? seems fine to me. 

Tapa is double posting and hanging up.

I’m trying just to use mobile Safari but when I get notifications like yours I get sent into tapa if I click on them.

 Convert from Tapa to web site. You will get used to it. Trust me.
