December 1, 20187 yr Tapatalk now runs ads about every five posts. It’s become an unbearable product to use. I wish there was a mobile app alternative. I haven't updated Tapatalk in over a year. I get an ad at the top or bottom every once in a while. Sometimes between threads in a forum but not many.
December 4, 20187 yr I only log in via my laptop so I lurk using the phone. Using this site via my phone is a fucking beatdown with the adds.
December 5, 20187 yr No matter how careful I am, when I try to scroll a thread, it pops up the ads, over and over and over. This is even more unbearable. Eff those guys.

Yeah, they have really cranked up the touch sensitivity on ads in the past 2 days. Impossible to even touch an ad while scrolling without it opening a browser.
December 5, 20187 yr Yeah, they suck. For those of you that use it, have you tried the site inside chrome on a mobile device? The theme we're using is responsive and works great vertically and horizontally.

The theme we're using is responsive and works great vertically and horizontally. I've gone to this too, and I have tapatalk pro. Running it from chrome on mobile is the only way I can get most of the embedded (videos, tweets, etc) content to show and post.
December 6, 20187 yr Author taptalk pro, no adsThis concept seems tough to grasp. I paid my $5 or $10 10 years ago or so, still active and no ads.
December 6, 20187 yr This concept seems tough to grasp. I paid my $5 or $10 10 years ago or so, still active and no ads. Same here, but I think it was $3.99 at the time. The mobile site on Chrome is great, I just subscribed to a couple other forums, so I use Tapatalk. Hi bich about it, and it's my own damn fault, but at least I don't have to worry about ads.
December 18, 20187 yr Tapa only lets me post one sentence, and it gets real goofy when you edit. Why I'm not sure what you are talking about. What do you mean - one sentence? I'm glad I don't update Tapa anymore. Edit - and what is goofy?
December 18, 20187 yr Yeah, pro user here and no ads. It does suck that a lot of links don’t display the content.
December 18, 20187 yr Yeah, pro user here and no ads. It does suck that a lot of links don’t display the content. That’s something that pisses me off. I paid for it, I wanna see erthing
December 18, 20187 yr I’ll try chrome. I hated safari because there were many more clicks to see unread content.
December 18, 20187 yr Yeah, pro user here and no ads. It does suck that a lot of links don’t display the content. That’s something that pisses me off. I paid for it, I wanna see erthingPretty sure that has something to do with plugins that the admins have to set up, at least for the imgur shit. Gfycat has never worked.
December 20, 20187 yr I'm not sure what you are talking about. What do you mean - one sentence? I'm glad I don't update Tapa anymore. Edit - and what is goofy? I had 3 sentences typed up. Only the 1st one posts.
December 20, 20187 yr I had 3 sentences typed up. Only the 1st one posts.That’s a feature, not a bug.
December 20, 20187 yr I had 3 sentences typed up. Only the 1st one posts.I see two here. Posting on Tapa ver 7.0.6 - the last one that I stopped having issues with.
December 29, 20186 yr Anyone having a problem with tapa randomly subscribing you to boards? I go and unsubscribe from everything and next time I get on I'm subscribed to random shit again
January 5, 20196 yr Anyone seeing Tapatalk freeze for awhile when you try to scroll new posts in a thread?
January 5, 20196 yr Anyone seeing Tapatalk freeze for awhile when you try to scroll new posts in a thread?
January 5, 20196 yr Anyone seeing Tapatalk freeze for awhile when you try to scroll new posts in a thread? Yeah, every now and then when it's trying to load more from the bottom.
January 31, 20196 yr I got over 20 emails from Tapatalk today. I keep trying to switch the email settings, but it doesn’t let me save the settings. I guess there must have been an update recently that changed my email settings.
January 31, 20196 yr Why am I automatically being subscribed to every thread I post in now and get email spammed? This just started a couple of days ago. Is there a setting to change the default to don't subscribe?
January 31, 20196 yr Every so often they ask if you want to subscribe to a new thread. Haven’t had it happen to me in a while.
February 1, 20196 yr I’m not having any issues with the exception of imagur not working. Me too, but that's due to the Bobs not installing all the Tapa plugins.
February 4, 20196 yr The ads have gotten ridiculous. 3 posts, ad, 4 posts, ad. Scrolling will inevitably open something in the App Store or a website.
February 4, 20196 yr Right before the migration from TOS, I paid $14.99 to go ad free. I rarely use Tapa that now with Surly because the mobile version works so well.
February 4, 20196 yr The ads have gotten ridiculous. 3 posts, ad, 4 posts, ad. Scrolling will inevitably open something in the App Store or a website. Yep it’s impossible not to click on them now
February 4, 20196 yr There's a site that has old versions of Tapa. (Google it) Download the one you want. Uninstall your current version. Turn off Auto Update. Install the old version. Make sure you know your password. You'll have to put in your preferences as to posts per page, etc again.
February 4, 20196 yr I have been 20-30 email a day this last week. I sent email to Tapa and ripped them. Two things you can try: On Tapa, go to Settings and click email notifications and fix that. THEN, go to SETTINGS > AUTO FOLLOW and unclick all those. Hopefully it helps. I think the main problem is it is auto following anything you reply to, and then sending you emails when people post to that thread.
February 5, 20196 yr So glad I opened this thread to bitch about tapa and saw the suggestion to use the mobile site in chrome. Not quite as functional as tapa used to be, but with the ads and the freezing...the mobile site is currently a shit load better. Only problem is I can’t figure out how to create a shortcut to my home screen on iPhone. From some cursory research, it looks like apple doesn’t allow shortcuts from other browsers, but I’m hoping there’s an app workaround? Anybody got a suggestion?
February 15, 20196 yr So now Tapa serves up space for an ad when scrolling, but suddenly removes it making everything scroll up when I’m trying to read it. Gotta be an Aggie leading the coding team there, the app gets it right once every five years then just as momentum is gained it shits the bed
February 15, 20196 yr Tapa has been a shit show for years now. One of the most incompetent group of people I’ve seen in a long time. It sucks that a competitor hasn’t knocked them out. I don’t like using the mobile site because it takes some extra clicks to easily read and scroll unread content.
February 15, 20196 yr I'm still using version 7.0.6Get it here:https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/tapatalk-inc/tapatalk/tapatalk-7-0-6-release/tapatalk-100000-forums-7-0-6-android-apk-download/Or look there for other older versions.
February 15, 20196 yr I have no issues with Tapa other than it always shows I have 99 messages for some reason. I paid for the pro version several years ago and it’s worked like a charm since. No ads either which is awesome.
February 16, 20196 yr I’ve turned off every possible email notification through Tapa and my Laptop browser snd I’m still getting hundreds of notifications from Surly on a daily basis. I’ve been with this group going back to HF but I rarely post here these days and I’m ready to move on as a result of this unfixable email issue. Please! Is there any possible way to delete my account. I would very much appreciate it if someone will be kind enough to help me out here.
March 8, 20196 yr All of a sudden I have so blank posts on tapa now. Every tenth post or so is just blank.
