    Goddamn it, using the browser on the phone for this site sucks.

    I've submitted a ticket which they haven't responded to and posted on their help board, which they asked about the ticket rather than helping. I fucking hate them

  • It’s just not.  I’ve gone to browser a half dozen times and always go back to tapa.

Tapa is a million times better when tweets are shown embedded, not the stupid link.

What changed? Is it something w the site? Tapa? Twitter?

In my (very limited) experience running a (tiny) forum, Tapatalk is installed as a mod. On phpbb 3.0 and up you had to install it directly into the mod folder via FTP, though. You could also add other mods such as embedding media automatically. Some play well with tapa and some don’t. Just depends.

However, I’m sure Surly is using a much more robust platform than phpbb, (I think Shaggy was vbulletin?), and it may be (probably is) different.

Tapatalk pro doesn't have ads I don't have control over ads on tapa

Yeah. I wasn’t blaming you or the site. Just complaining about more Tapa ineptitude.

When quoting someone from Tapatalk, if it happens to be a tweet, it will not quote it. It just shows blank space. Could not fix it.

Any fixes for the 20 post thing? Looks like the ticket has been open for almost a month. Their support team really that shitty?

While we’re continuing to complain about tapa, what’s the deal with cut and paste text being damn near invisible sometimes?

What in the fuckkkk. The past 2 days my tapa is missing posts/putting post out of order etc.

Shit has the aids

I can only see the 10 most recent threads in each sub board.

Yeah Tapa is fucked for me, too. And I can only see 10 threads at a time on most forum sections. Shit is all out of whack. 

Does anyone else see this instead of images on Tapa?

It started after we got the ability to host images here so I’m wondering if that’s the problem.

I've always had that problem with imgur. I just quote the post, expand the quoted part, hold my finger on the actual url to highlight it, then "open in internet" to see it if I care.

I thinks still buggy though.

Def couldn’t see 136 threads and then it drops to 1, but I could def see more than 1.

I finally caved and bought Tapa Pro. Trying to scroll a thread full of ads was a beating. Much better now.

Pretty sure that’s what we’ve said in this thread and it’s predecessors for 5+ years!

I installed tapa on my iphone last week to post a pic, now I get an email every time someone posts in any thread I’ve ever posted in.  It’s like hundreds of fucking emails every day.  I went through settings in tapatalk and thought I turned all that shit off but they keep coming.  Are there some hidden settings in that piece of shit that I’m missing?

So they sent me a custom version of the forum software - I'm not sure I want to install it just yet and risk borking all the themes again so I'll try it at night sometime because I have to change the default theme to do it.

So did you end up changing something? I am not using tapa and am using firefox on a laptop and I can't embedded tweets anymore on this device. What changed?

Treefiddy club also allows you to just direct upload to surly now instead of having to store your stuff in the Tapatalk universe.

Nothing from this has changed. Make sure you are hitting enter after you paste it in embeds work the exact same though

It is something with Twitter then because when I post something from twitter, it acts like it is going to load it and then it loads it as text instead. I have to click on the link and open in another tab to see the embedded twitter post now. was just hoping there was a fix or someway to get them to load again.

If I go to the top of a page and click ‘Follow’, go down and unselect the ‘Send email...’, go back and change the setting to ‘Unfollow’ the emails for that thread stop.  I’m not sure why Tapa is making me go through all this but at least I can stem the flood of spam emails for now.

Has anyone figured out to have just your unread threads show up on the subscribed or participated tab on tapatalk pro? Right now every thread I follow shows up. I know its possible because another board I have on the app has it display that way.

Wtf is this kin bullshit

Turn it off in the settings. In Alabama, it’s the pool for dating.

Grandfathered ending? Now it is 1 dollar a month?8417e90fc6f80f9bc77826de9400f02c.jpg

I bought it when it was like $2 or something. Then I had to pay $15 or whatever this last time. I’ll gladly sign up for the class action lawsuit surly will surely file on this fuckining.

I never update so I'll wait and see what happens.

They’ll just use a few months of subscription revenue to return the initial purchase. Assuming they’re looking to get acquired, they don’t actually need the revenue, they just need to show recurring subscribers.

What's the difference between the VIP and pro? I paid for Tapatalk HD years ago and have always been grandfathered until now.

A class action over a dollar a month wont happen, but I'm still pissed that I paid for lifetime and now it's been revoked.

They didn't mean YOUR lifetime.

Wait what? I finally bought Pro a couple months ago and now I’m going to have to pay again?

I finally gave up on this piece of shit app a few months ago. Using the browser has its drawbacks, but at least it works.

Where did y'all get the notification?  I haven't gotten one yet.  I paid for pro many years ago and I've had zero issues with Tapa for a while now.  Obligatory, "Did you know you're throwing a no hitter?"

It just popped up, now I get a tapatalk ad to pay monthly at the bottom, on Oct 1st I'm expecting to get ads

I'm not paying $1 a month for it.

I briefly researched an alternative, it looks like IPSfocus(I think that is the forum software here) is making a mobile app right now and testing it.

I don't like the mobile website, too hard to press the button you want.

It has probably been asked but can you do spoiler tags on Tapa? If so how?

Completely agree. And in a few more months you won't miss it at all.

Stopped working about an hour ago for me.  Now wants me to log in to shaggy but that’s failing.  Working for anyone?
