barnz Member 3,047 Member For: 11y 1m 4d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 04/02/16 09:57 AM Share Posted 04/02/16 09:57 AM fark sake keif....the way this forum works AFTER THE UPGRADE then...which I implied when I said "it worked fine before" So get farked you knew exactly what I meant..dont wanna use browser on my phone K. You always say just use a browser, I rarely access the forum from a pc so tapatalk is far more convenient and makes uploading pics a peice of piss. problems ive noticed, cant see likes at all, dont appear in threads including other peoples likes on their posts. formatting is fkd and just gets lost somehow leaving one big paragraph. Timeline is whack, sometimes shows posts from days ago as newest. Seems alot slower in general to refresh, open a thread, load pics. CJ said the other day "its a limitation of tapatalk" when somebody else "reported" the same issues, and its just not. Yes I can access the forum from a website, like any fkn forum...having them all in the same place in a mobile friendly app is far more convenient imo....

Forum v1 and Tapatalk v1 are compatible (after tapatalk builds itself to be compatible with Forum v1). 2. Forum v2 and Tapatalk v1 are NOT compatible as tapatalk can't integrate with all versions of all forums without their developers "catching up" and forum software builders don't give a sh*t about integrating with tapatalk. 3. Forum v1 and Tapatalk v2 MIGHT be backwards compatible because tapatalk are trying to integrate with as many forums as they can and probably won't remove compatibility with "old" forum versions that they were compatible with. We are in situation #2. It's just something you'll have to live with until Tapatalk decides to spend more time/effort on making itself compatible with this forum version. My suggestion until such time is to use a "working" method instead of whinging about the method you're using. I agree on the "convenience" part of having all forums in one place, though, and that's the ONLY decent selling point of tapatalk, imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should the IP.Board software developers give a sh*t about tapatalk or their API? It's not tapatalk's fault that this forum got upgraded. It's up to them to decide to allocate the resources to fix such a problem. They may never do so. EDIT: there have been heaps of Tapatalk releases that either made things better or worse for this forum in particular for a significant period of time.

barnz Member 3,047 Member For: 11y 1m 4d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 04/02/16 09:37 PM Share Posted 04/02/16 09:37 PM well it nearly works biz the bugs are pretty minor in the scheme of things, just annoying more than anything. Im still using it. Tried you generic IT advise for sh*ts and giggles Rab, no dice. Keif, the forum needs the api installed to even work at all, which It didnt at first after the upgrade, which CJ covered in the upgrade thread and said they needed to set it up. Which they now have, so they have in fact taken the time to give a sh*t...I just find it hard to belive these small bugs just dont require a bit of further tweaking and the forums OR tapatalks toolkit requires major changes to fix it. Ive used tapatalk for about 3 years and throughout that time it sure has had it's share of problems, NONE of which I would attribute to the forum itself. Honestly man tapatalk is a mint platform for forums on a mobile device, these issues arent bad enough to need to use a browser instead, Im sure it works just fine via any browser but that's not really the point...the whacked timeline issue hasnt occured in a while actually, im sure the upgrade isnt 100% yet and some things are still a work in progress so hopefully it will be sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
