tapatalk....Will it ever work again?
« on: September 15, 2014, 10:25:11 pm »
I know there were several threads about this a long time ago, but nothing ever got resolved. The site is so awkward to use in a mobile browser. I used to browse the forums with tapatalk every day, but since it quit working, I hardly ever find time to post here anymore.  Is there any chance of this ever getting fixed?

What's sad is when I pull the site up on my phone, and it tells me in a pop-up "Hey, the experience here would be so much better with Tapatalk". The tears end up affecting my touch screen.

The final word I heard was that the forum provider no longer supports Tapatalk, and that was basically that. Saint (et al) was unable to configure the program to work properly, and as it's not supported, that was that. So far, anyway.

Same here, no where near as active as I would be if tapatalk worked :(

Even for  klov, tap a talk doesn't always work for me.
Plus I had another forum that worked fine for a bit and then I was told I was not registered.

I hate tapatalk, so I elect not to use it.
Unfortunately, I still often get redirected to the tapatalk page when I visit several forums, and I have to skip it. Pain in the butt.
