Hey is anyone else having problems accessing the forum with the Tapatalk app? Both my phone and tablet seem to not be able to access it and I receive a "network error try again later message".
 
Installed it a couple years ago, and it worked, but really wasn't impressed with the way it nagged/interfaced/took up bandwidth for itself? Can't remember now off the top of my head. Maybe all three. Guess it was a forgettable experience. All I know is, the default browser works just fine, and works the same for all sites that I visit. So what is the attraction with Tapatalk? Anyone care to enlighten me?
 
When I used it I liked it.
Posting pictures right off your phone was the biggest bonus, but now GOC lets you do that anyway.
But I found it sucked up my mobile data at an alarming rate. More than double, I felt.
And they felt a need to keep changing it constantly, and usually the new system wouldn't work worth a crap.
 
Tapatalk is largely junk, in my experience. When it works it's nice, but it so often doesn't. I still use it, but I keep my expectations low, and I'll never fork over a dollar for it.
 
Yeah it was down with GOC for me most of yesterday. Haven't tried it today. If GOC would get a mobile friendly forum theme (hint hint) that one could choose from then I could ditch Tapatalk.
 
Taptalk isn't a forum app, its a 3rd party software enabled for use.

Sorry but we have no control over how it works or the versions and updates it has

Thanks for the reply jwire. Always good to here it from the source and i will continue to blame tapatalk.
 
It's actually been down for a few days now for me. When I try to log in I just get a "login failed" message. I know GOC does not have any control over a third party app however, I was just asking to see if there was a recent change on GOC. I know some forums I belong to either block Tapatalk or have not allowed members to connect to their service.

@LB303 - the "attraction" to Tapatalk as apposed to using the browser is when you monitor several forums all at the same time. I can go to their app and see everything I am subscribed to or every "unread" post for all 14 forums I am active in. Having to log into each forum's browser separately can be a real PITA.
 
Thanks for that explanation Grizz. I had no idea.

Actually, you do. You can disable it and go with a mobile browser version for vBulletin. Others do it, you can to. Tapatalk is trash.
 
Sorry for moving the thread around and closing other ones guys, just some people didn't have access to the off topics section so I figured I'd move this to the trouble shooting forum since everyone can access it from here.
 
I like Tapatalk. I don't like that GOC doesn't work on it anymore. My other forums do.

I hate using my mobile browser to surf GOC. It's a horrible experience.

I spoke with tech support at Tapatalk who spent some time troubleshooting it for me. In the end, it turns out there is an out of date plugin here on GOC. Apparently all that needs to be done to make the world right again is for admin to update it.....can this PLEASE be done?
 
I also sent a message to jwire in hopes the plugin can be updated quickly
 
I really can't understand why anyone would use TapaTalk. All of your posts get passed through their server. And most likely get copied and profiled. All for what...? A supposed "improved" way of using forums on mobile devices.

Well...not me baby. I value my privacy...what's left of it anyways.
