Is anyone else having issues using Tapatalk to access the forums? It stopped working for me a little while back, saying "You are not allowed to login via Tapatalk, please contact your forum administrator."

Yes. As I understand it, Saint tried his best to fix Tapatalk, but it still does not work. The problem could also lie in Tapatalk's crappy support for SMF forum software.
Check the forum discussion subforum, there are four topics about Tapatalk on the first page.

Saint is aware of this and PM'd that he would try to fix tapatalk this weekend using an update linked here (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,143179.msg1485001.html#msg1485001) by Hoopz.   :cheers:

For more background details, see the numerous threads on this subject in the "Forum Discussion" sub-forum. (many linked in the thread above)

TL;DR version:
* tapatalk stopped playing well with SMF after an update
* tapatalk claimed to post fixes but lots of SMF forums still had problems
* SMF removed tapatalk as an officially supported plugin
* some admins of other forums recently implied on the SMF forums that at least one of the newer update versions is working for them but haven't found solid confirmation/details on that yet   :dunno

Bottom line:  Don't hold your breath waiting for this to be resolved.

Thanks, guys. I did a quick forum search for Tapatalk and didn't see these threads.
