didnt need it to upload pics. but i guess whatever works for yall :). i wont complain. :cheers:
sent from my 'puter using tapakey :flipoff: :icon_lol:
Yes please!
I'd be willing to start a donation pool for this.
Are we back on this Tapatalk quest again? :technical:
:2guns: :sad:
Yes fix it please you mods don't have a hard job in this place. I just want it so I can post pics up in the picture game but its handy to have.
I have no motivation. My browser on my device works fine :D
Seriously though, Im sorry, I have no control over it or education on how to make it work. I can pass it to John but IDK where it will go if anywhere
If you could please. I've pm'd thegoodguy about this and dunno if it got fixed.
I already sent a msg to him but he hasnt been here for a couple days so I will look into it tonight when I get home. Im not fluent so it will take some time reading and understanding and even then I will consult John before making any changes if any. The last thing I want to do is crash something
Ok, it seems there was a slightly newer release for SMF.
I have removed the older version and uploaded the newer package.
Simple Machines Forum
2.0 RC5/Final
Old version was 3.2.1
New version is 3.4.0
The site URL is already registered with Tapatalks' database
All folder permissions are already set to "writable" and chmod 0755 as notated by Tapatalk
All I can tell you now is to log out and log back in and cross your fingers :dunno_black:
Just tried and still no go
Any errors?
Yep still not working. Says the forum is restricting access to tapatalk contact admins

The bigger PITA for me is going to this forum through the browser on my smartphone and still receiving a popup box that says Tapatalk can be used with this site...even though it hasn't worked in months.
I don't recall seeing a request to debate whether or not people should use PC or smartphone or whether they should use browser or app-that-the-website-says-should-work. :confused: But, I see it took less than 10 replies for the post whores and others to chime in with "what do you need a smartphone/Tapatalk for anyway?" The point is that the website itself says it is available when accessed on a smartphone....if it's never going to work, the pop-up needs to go away.
Maybe next we can turn this into a PC vs Mac or iOS vs Android debate.... :2guns:
Ah....iOS v/s Android. My fav!
Ive done all I can do on the Tapatalk for now. The software is installed correctly. The permissions are correct. The forum is registered with Tapatalk. Im sure all of this was done by John with the previous plugin update. Im still looking into it but Im at a dead end for now. Sorry guys.
Thanks for trying weed, i still get the plugin is not working message. Least u tried so have some karma
Ok, I'll weigh in. Not worth much, I know.
I bought Tapatalk on Android for use on this forum, as well as advrider and another one, who's name escapes me right now. It is an ok app. It crashed quite a bit, but the devs did update often, so I think in time it got better. The forum that got the most use on Tapatalk for me was this one. The browser on android was fine, and I didn't get too hurt over losing Tapatalk.
Now my company has switched to Iphone. It is no better than Android, and in some cases it is worse. Most of my complaints with Safari, I will admit, are simply things that an iOs user would never notice. Yes -believe it or not- buttons are good, people!
So, if Tapatalk does get fixed here, I would probably spring for it again on iOs.
You guys working on it on the back end can go ahead and quote me to the Tapatalk people. Maybe they can be motivated to help you out. (They should be! That's where they get their money.)
You can use Dolphin for iOS and it will work fine
What is it and what does it do and does it cost? I already forked out for tapatalk
It is a browser and it is free. iOS and Apple as a company have LONG been known not to support Java or Flash which a lot sites use and therefore on Apple products will not work.

Why you guys are going out and paying for this stuff I will never understand anyway.
It was like $2 so no biggie but for something I try to often.
I find Chrome to be much better than Safari on my iPhone.
Same deal though, lots of pinch zooming & horizontal scrolling, hard to hit the little new post icons and the page numbers, can't upload pictures etc.
Tapatalk I can just hit the Unread tab and zoom through everything I haven't seen yet without having to zoom in and out on each and every page.

quite simply , tapatalk makes forums FUN from a mobile device. otherwise, see above :thumb:
Sorry, you misunderstood my post.
I meant that with so many sites, forums and more out there on the net, there are other solutions for paid software
However, if some of you didnt have such a small screen, you wouldnt have to zoom and scroll......LOL
On a more serious note, I have been working with Tapatalk on this and verified everything is setup correctly. They want to FTP into the server and without John giving the OK on this, I cant allow it. Sorry.

What's the saying? It's easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission? :icon_twisted:
Having vendors FTP into your server like this to troubleshoot is never a good idea.
Exactly. Everything would have to be backed up, a temp password generated and given for temp access. I'm assuming you guys/gals like coming here on a normal basis? Because giving that info out could mean a site that doesn't work if they do something wrong.
So for me, I would ask permission and let John decide rather than calling him to say I am responsible for the sites hacking and crashing. That would be very bad.
I've Tapatalk on my site, but I also installed a skin that allows for easier reading on handhelds / tablets. The site recognizes if you have a handheld and shows that skin if so; you also have the option to go to the full site.
I frankly don't like Tapatalk b/c they are monetizing something they don't own (my site.) That said, several users requested it so I added it anyway.
What's that other saying? No guts, no glory! :icon_mrgreen:
Yeah don't crash the site weed
