    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.

That's a formatting thing in the original posts. If it is copied in from a website with a dark background it'll have the dark background. 

I know this is an old post, but on a pc you right click and paste as plain text. 

Yea tapa is down on forums.  
Up for me. Made me log in again, but it's working. Ver 7.0.6 (I don't update anymore)

And like that I got a notification so yep, working now.

Inserting gifs on tapa on iPhone XR doesn’t seem to be working, maybe just me though

Trying to post from tapatalk and it goes into long waiting loops.

Tapatalk doubleposting all the time.

Can y’all quote anybody on tapa? When I highlight a post and click quote, the window pops up with a different post quoted.

 

Edit: Now it’s working right. In my completely uneducated opinion, the issue corrects itself after you make a post.

Tapa turned my post into a link to a tweet. How did that happen? I never saw that tweet, let alone read it.a1ec9a2383d126b4e654fa3e66497558.jpg

No

I gave up on that app myself...the mobile browser version works well and doesn’t turn my phone into a slow, hot, crawling turd of worthlessness.  I thought upgrading from an iPhone 6 to XR would resolve whatever hardware constraints or jacked up software issues that causes it to run so poorly on my old phone...since it’s still crap, I can confidently state  the experiment proved tapa is worse than the movie Prometheus.

Sounds more like you choose crappy phones. Or ignore advice about not updating Tapa. I haven't updated Tapa in 2 years and have zero issues.

I auto update tapa and it’s been more or less fine aside from a few month span about a year or two ago.

Same. All good here except viewing multiple tweets in one post

Well notice where I say I’m on my second phone, no way I could avoid updates.  XR should have zero problems with running something like Tapa.  Maybe my profile has AIDS

Delete Tapa, turn off autoupdate, and go install an older version from the web.

You guys get this white block at the end of topics? Buried in that white block is another reply to the topic, but I can’t see it. Odd. Doesn’t happen in every topic.

How do you not have spider on ignore?

Ha. I do. That’s what it looks like on my tapa on ignore. What does yours look like?

Yes I get the white block.

My ignore looks like the screenshot Pilotserror put up, but I am getting large blank spaces at the “end” of threads. Put that in quotes because according to the post-count at the bottom of the screen, I’m not actually at the end. Pages won’t finish loading even if I refresh. Keep having to click over to we view to finish reading every thread. Just started a couple days ago

It happens to me in any thread that someone I have on ignore posts in.

If you keep scrolling past the white block until you get to another post, it will refresh and then you can scroll back up and the posts will appear.

It started happening when Tapa changed how posts from someone on ignore appears - it used to just have a small area that said something like “this post is from someone you have on ignore, click here to see this post”. Now a post from someone on ignore shows up as a regular post with the username and everything but with the content of the post under a spoiler tag.

It’s annoying as fuck.

You nailed it. It’s only on thread pages with a blocked poster. So do I deal with the white block or have to read SpiderBananas terrible takes? White block it is.

Duping almost every post tonight.

Fuck tapa

So we can only post so many pics a month? Over that we gotta pay? Seems unfair to me.

So maybe we can get that limit lifted for awhile?  Coronavirus and such?  Who should I talk to?

that's a tapatalk thing not a surly thing.
Only subscribers can upload images and it's unlimited on our end.
Hmm. I don't upload a lot of pics but I do upload some thru Tapa and I've never seen a limit. But then I'm using an older version so maybe the newer ones have limits?

Is there a way to quote a tweet in tapatalk and have it show up? It never shows for me.

Don’t think so. Any formatting seems to break the tweet display. Can’t even post two tweets in same post.

I started getting notifications on my Tapatalk pro that I don't ask for?

I also just noticed my first ad yesterday?

Tapa's been borked for me since the downtime yesterday.

I get this when I go to my participated page.

"SurlyHorns

You are not logged in or you do not have permission to do this action"

Same (or similar) message when I try to post a reply on any thread.

I've logged in and out of Tapa several times.

All this since the downtime this week.

Any ideas?

Finally bit the bullet and re-installed tapatalk.  Seems to be working (i.e., it lets me log in and post) but I can't post photos anymore.

 

Help?

Either 1 or 2 wil let you upload a pic from your gallery. 3 will give you similar options, or let you link a photo hosted elsewhere.

@immamac I see this often and just ignore it. I wonder, though, if Tapa may be causing memory errors elsewhere on your servers if this happens frequently enough. Perhaps a leak (if that’s still even a thing that happens)

My issue actually was a Tapa issue. Their developer admitted and then notified me when it was fixed. It’s still a little wonky but works more times than it doesn’t.
