Tapatalk Working Yet?

[dnjr]

Dear All
Is it just me or is the app and tap talk still not working. The only way I can get on the forum is via the web site

 

[Rpa07]

I still got problems - I wasn't sure whether I'd messed up my tapatalk. Nothing's fluid to use anymore. Guess I'll have to slow down a bit. Embrace change . . . Thanks to Dan and admin for all his hard work with the forum.

 

[dnjr]

Your lucky. I can even log in on tap talk Gutted

 

[Sintra]

I've had to remove tapatalk and then download it again. Once logged in it all looks and works ok.

 

[dnjr]

Thanks will try that. I don't want to remove the original app as I can't find it anywhere now.

 

[Sintra]

I was able to find the main tapatalk app straight away and downloaded it. Then put a search on that for electricians forums.

 

[dnjr]

Where did you find tap talk. I can't even find that now.

 

[dnjr]

Ok got it now. ( shouldn't be allowed out on my own )

 

[Sintra]

Hopefully that will get you sorted.

 

[dnjr]

Thanks Sintra. Can use tapatalk now but still can't use the old standalone app but maybe it's just a dead parrot

 

[Sintra]

Think the stand alone app has been done away with mate.

 

[dnjr]

Cheers. That would explain it. Goodbye old friend

 

[dnjr]

One other thing Sintra. Inn keeper ? Is that at the Electricians Arms ? How does a fellow get a pint there ?

 

[Sintra]

We have a requirement of a minimum of 100 posts in the forums and then we need prove that your in the trade like a link to your website or a listing in yell etc. Won't take long to get the 100 posts

 

[dnjr]

Thanks will keep going. Don't have a website will NICEIC or trust mark do ?

 

[Sintra]

Yes mate. Anything like that is fine.

 

[gnselectricals]

Have tried deleting and reinstalling Tapatalk but it's still not working it keeps coming up with the site on cloud flare on tapa
Any ideas ?

 

[Sintra]

Yes it does have cloudflare along the top but it works fine.

 

[Sintra]

See screenshots.

 

[gnselectricals]

This is what I've got

 

[gnselectricals]

The second one is when I click either done or cancel

 

[Rpa07]

I got cloudfare - seems like the actual forum so not too gutted. One thing I noticed there are no post numbers which have always been useful to quote or point toward or see where you are in the conversation. Weird and may be just me but I can't even remember what the tapatalk screen looked like and it's only been days! Have learnt not to press 'done' too often!

My Tapatalk isn't working on the new forum, that's what I use most often to access the site - my usage this past week has been minimal because of this. Is it getting fixed or is there an alternative?

 

[Dan]

It's the least priority at the moment as there are loads more important things I need to do first. But it is on the list matey.

I'd like people to come and check the forum out in their normal browsers because it's so cool and works well on them. Some members use tapatalk because the old software was so archaic when it came to smartphones and tablets and I want them to see the new forum software.

Won't be long before tapatalk doesn't work at all though because we'll have our own app built but that's perhaps 6 months down the line so I will get tapatalk working in a couple of weeks. If that long.

So hang in there matey and I appreciate your patience during this change. The first serious change we've done in 10 years!

Thanks Dan, the main reasons I use tapatalk are:

1) It can host all my favourite forums, meaning I need to just load one app to view my feeds
2) It provides a generic layout - if I have 12 forums I frequent and they all have a different theme and menu system and style, it becomes a nightmare navigating
3) Most importantly I feel, notifications - if I get a PM for instance it's nice my phone goes. I got one on Friday and didn't pick it up till today as I didn't log in all weekend, where as a notification tells me to check out the forum

The update looks good on mobile devices etc, but the three features I require most don't exist by using a standard browser.

Thanks for your understanding. No rush and I understand how manic you'll be (I work in IT!) but it is inherently affecting how I use the forum and I'm sure I'll not be alone.

 

[Dan]

Thanks for the info matey. I'm on it don't worry. You'll love our new app that's coming.

 

[Dan]

@hightower for the time being can you set your options on our forum to email you when you get the notifications you want. Then enable on your phone email push notifications for a particular folder that the emails inbox to?

Which is what I do.
