June 27, 20187 yr There’s many reasons traffic on this site is down. I don’t think Tapa has anything to do with it.What then?
June 27, 20187 yr Mainly, that it is trying too hard to recreate Shaggy instead of creating its own identity.
June 27, 20187 yr Mainly, that it is trying too hard to recreate Shaggy instead of creating its own identity.Is this “own identity” one that includes more tits, or fewer?
June 27, 20187 yr Is this “own identity” one that includes more tits, or fewer?It's a good question. .

I think one of the differences is that there are a bunch of posters missing and there is not really anything, right now, drawing in new visitors. I'm assuming football season may change some of that, but it's going to take some creative and talented posters to bring that kind of draw again. Some of the most creative/talented posters on shaggy aren't posting the same kind of content that they did in the past. My opinion isn't that it is trying to hard, the content is just not what it was. You could also argue since Shaggy was torn away, that Surly is supposed to be a replacement. Why should it have its own identity? And since none of that is really about Tapa, I'll post a Tapa comment here. I never use it anymore because the mobile version of this site is easier to use. For the folks who posted lots of gifs and pics, that's probably not true, but as someone who mostly lurks, I hate the way Tapa works now for Surly compared to the way it worked on Shaggy.

This right here. I don't know if it was a tapatalk upgrade, or the way tapatalk interfaces with the new forum software, or both, but it doesn't work the same and I think it kept locking my account. Plus linking to images and tweets and the like is easier on mobile because the forum software embeds it automatically while tapa doesn't.
June 27, 20187 yr Plus linking to images and tweets and the like is easier on mobile because the forum software embeds it automatically while tapa doesn't.Tapa does, but it requires a bunch of settings and mods be done by the forum admin. Apparently that is a lot of work.
June 27, 20187 yr It's possible it's not, but to my eye Surly feels a lot more political. It feels like there's more overt political shit outside of CR. It's become nauseating. Also, when you're properly logged into Tapa there's supposed to be blue lines next to the forums and threads. Over half the time, well over half, there's not. I look as if I'm logged in, but it doesn't register me as logged in. I have to back out a few times, wait a while. It's like Russian Roulette, I have no idea when I open Tapa if I'll be logged in or not.
June 28, 20187 yr Agree. Poor Tapa functionally has probably cut down my use of the site to 50% what I did with Shaggy.
August 11, 20187 yr Time of last post shows up wrong in Tapa. Anyone else see this problem? Solution?
August 13, 20187 yr Can you guys ever consistently get unread threads to show up in tapa?I mainly use the Participated tab and it always shows the threads with new unread posts at the top and jumps right to the unread posts when I click on it. If I go to a subforum like Football, it shows the latest updated threads at the top. If I go to Unread, I get all threads listed with unread posts with latest posts at the top.But I'm using an older version of Tapa.
August 14, 20187 yr Probably has been brought up. Spoilers. On TOS, you used to be able to click on a spoiler button. I would love that feature again. Thanks.
August 15, 20187 yr Probably has been brought up. Spoilers. On TOS, you used to be able to click on a spoiler button. I would love that feature again. Thanks.I'd be happy if it worked when typing out the code. Underline doesn't work either.
August 15, 20187 yr It can’t handle two tweets in the same post.If you edit a post w code, the code disappearsIt keeps telling me I have a new Surly pm when I don’t.
August 16, 20187 yr I don't think the Bob's want to devote the time to make Tapa fully functional over here. Something about only 10% of the users using Tapa.
August 17, 20187 yr I can't scroll down and see more than ten threads in any forum. It just stops and wont load

It just stops and wont load Yeah - noticed that, too ... checked the tapa settings and didn't see anything. Has to be on the server side, 'cause I don't think I've had a tapa update recently (Android).
August 18, 20187 yr My app is saying I have 50 messages but when I click on the envelope nothing is there.
August 18, 20187 yr My app is saying I have 50 messages but when I click on the envelope nothing is there. Mine has been showing between 1-5 new messages this week (since the site maintenance?), but there are no new messages when I click the the envelope or check the website.
August 20, 20187 yr Stickies double posting Random changes in message quantity Tweets not displaying properly (to be far, I guess I’m the only one that can’t see them on mobile?) At least imgur displays?
August 20, 20187 yr It’ll be nice when the tech geniuses of the world figure this all out. Takes awhile to iron out all the kinks with new technology. Wait a fucking second! Tapa’s not new. Shaggy lightning in a bottle nowhere to be found on this new forum.
August 25, 20187 yr Tapa not imbedding tweets now. No recent updates so it must be Surly. Goodbye Tapa.

August 30, 20187 yr Tapa message notification icons are always screwed up. They always show unread messages even when there aren’t. The number also varies constantly in a random way.

The number also varies constantly in a random way. Yeah to try and get rid of it I was in the inbox and decided to click Mark All as Read. It marked every thread on Surly as read. That wasn't cool. I didn't think it would do that from the in box.
September 29, 20187 yr It seems like they don't care about Tapa. I still use it for the most part, except game threads. I've just gotten accustomed to all the things that don't work right. The mobile website is pretty good, Tapa seems faster to me, so that is why I still use it.

As well as the real estate that all the stickies and announcements take up, the read behavior doesn't work on them. I've read the Fire Tom Herman thread but every time I go back into the thread, it takes me to the first post.
October 2, 20187 yr Hide the stickies by long-pressing each sticky you dont want to see and select 'Hide'.
October 3, 20187 yr I don't get the option to add a photo anymore. Just predictive text where the photo button used to be. WTF?
October 7, 20187 yr So tired of not seeing Imgur stuff in Tapatalk. Just makes we want to give up reading the site
October 7, 20187 yr So tired of not seeing Imgur stuff in Tapatalk. Just makes we want to give up reading the site At least I don't see them everywhere. I just quote it, highlight the url in the post, then select "Samsung Internet" and it opens a browser window to the pic. If I care enough to see it.
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.
