Title: Weedahoe crashing my tapatalk
Post by: Higgins13 on October 27, 2012, 08:28:47 PM
Title says it all. Anytime I try to enlarge a pic weedahoe posted my tapatalk app crashes. I do not have this problem with anyone else. Perhaps it is his file hosting location or method?

Why do you hate me weedahoe?

Same thing with me.

Do not think it is weed, but the site he is hosting on or something.

For some reason computers and phones don't seem to like skydrive when you view it in anything but full web view.

The same thing happens to me using Tapatalk, mostly on iPad. I usually just curse weedahoe and move on.

I would be willing to bet that skydrive works fine for windows 8 phones...

You talking about embedded images or links to skydrive? Links work fine for me on Android. Going to see of I can find any embedded images.

Edit:  They work fine for me.

I guess if you use a crippled ware enabled device to surf the internet you get this happening.

Just seeing this thread so forgive me Im late.

Is it that the app itself is crashing or are you having issues with something else?

If it is the app, please post the version you have and let me see what I can find out.

I myself do not use Tapatalk. I use Dolphin Browser for all my surfing including forums

I don't have issues on my iPhone, just on my iPad. But, on the iPad, Tapatalk crashes if I attempt to enlarge a weedahoe pic (some others, too, IIRC, but I can't think of whose offhand). If I open it in a browser on my iPad, there are no problems. I allow crash reports to be sent to the Tapatalk developers when it occurs, because I figure it has more to do with their product than weed's pictures.

Not trying to dogpile on you, Weedahoe. But, it always happens with your pics and only occasionally with pics others post. As I said, it's most likely a Tapatalk issue, so I'll wait for them to address it and/or address further complaints to them directly.  :cheers:  Tapatalk has a strange issue with another forum I participate on, so I'm quite certain it's something Tapatalk isn't doing correctly related to the iPad.

I didn't make the app so i know it's not against me.... LoL

I can check and see if another newer version is available but I've personal never liked any app like it.

its the tapatalk plugin on this forum thats causing it. I am running 3.0.1 currently, they updated to 3.2.1, so I'll take the server down this evening and update it.

Most likely some applications can't take the image that big - runs out of memory to process it.

Weed makes HUGE pictures! Reduce them to half size.

This is just too big:  3,264px × 1,840px (scaled to 600px × 338px)

and big file size: 1,195.12 KB (1,223,800 bytes)

.....and I never use tapatalk so never have a problem.

Good work, we appreciate it.

Only thing is, my phone now says "Failed to connect to forum, check with administrator if the problem persists"
I can still get on other forums though.

pffft .. tapa-bloody-talk ... i've accessed this site with Ipod & Ipad for awhile now .. just using plain old safari browser ... lets see ... how many issues have i had? ... looking looking .... hmmm .. there must have been some!! ... i remember commenting on something about the Ipod .. but ... that ended up being my own accidental switching on of the 'turbo load' function...

tapatalk is just a catchy name .. if it was called The Occasionally Working System or TOWS it might still be popular .. if it was called Completely Ridiculous Access Portal then it might still attract some techy pimply people ... if it was called Web Access Superflous Typing Engine .. it would probably be more accurate.

I had a go with tapatalk .. and a few other similar type "pay some snotty student with half an idea" programs ... always end up back with the more mainstream browsers ... which do admittedly have a few lacks ... but the consistency is great!! ...

Just my 2cents

If you're using Android, there are many browsers. I use Dolphin 95 percent of the time and Chrome the rest of the 5 percent.

I'm using Dolphin as I type this now.

For me, it's an "out of sight, out of mind" thing. If I'm checking the rest of my forums in Tapatalk and see that gstwins isn't working, I may think I should open the browser and check it that way. Do I remember after I'm done with Tapatalk? Nope. Not a chance.  :dunno_black: :confused:

I was on my phone checking the forum last night, and I was just in the regular safari browser.  I pulled up weed's thread with his 07 bikes pics... Well, in the url line at the top of the browser, it showed 'Reader' ... and naturally, as this was something I hadn't seen before, I clicked on it.  The thread then loaded as fit to screen, and was like an app for a website... I haven't seen this on any other threads before, nor anywhere else while using my phone's browser...

Don't know if it is relevant or not, but I thought of this thread and posted it up.

I'll also add, when I scroll through a page with pics, everything is fine until I get to Weed's pics. the page slows to scroll by, then pics up again once his pics are off the screen.

I'd say it's something also to do with the "click image to make" larger bit within the image's code.

Solve prob, host pics on imgur, put up smaller 640x480 pics, and no problems for anyone.

BTW, the above happens using my computer.

Yes, but the Tapatalk app gives an error message that says the site either doesn't have Tapatalk installed or isn't allowed for use...so we can't test the new version of Tapatalk.

The solution is to burn all of your apple devices and buy something good like an Android or windows phone.  Nobody likes Apple users anyway.  :woohoo:
