Title: [SITE] Keep the feedback coming ...
Post by: polepole on October 26, 2017, 09:10:29 PM
Anymore issues you all are seeing after this latest server move?  I'm keen to address these now, as I'm planning an update to the forum software.  I'd like to get issues addressed now, so I don't do an update and think it is the update that caused the issues.

Note, this is separate from AOTY issues as that is separate software.  But if you're seeing AOTY issues, please bring those up to so we can address.

THANKS!   :smt006

CdM is still allowed to post for some reason.  Can you look into that?

 I don't specifically support Tapatalk as I have no control over their server side software.  That being said, part of updating our site software is to update the Tapatalk client software, which I know is old.  That's the extent of what I can do with Tapatalk.  Hopefully that update will address this issue.

Is tapatalk paying you money or something?  It's legit terrible, has never worked well with this site, and only ever served to piss people off.

Good question.  I dunno if it's worth my time.  Let's see how this upgrade goes.

This one is server related.  I’ll figure it out.

Actually, browser spell checkers are way better than the SMF implementation.  Are there any reasons why one wouldn't just use the browser spell checker?

Yeah, I saw it too, for about 30 seconds.  It didn't last long enough for me to debug it.

Sorry for the unexpected downtime.  We had some intermittent issues that I asked the data center to address.  To be honest, they F'd it up.   :smt013

Let me know if you encounter any further issues.

I’m still getting the “Sorry, content not available” message in Tapatalk. It’s a little annoying, but I can still read messages by clicking “quote” or “edit”.

Has all the Tapatalk-related stuff been updated yet?

Thanks again for your hard work on the site!

Well, I have relatively little control over tapatalk, as the processing happens on their server side software, which I don't have access to.  So there really is close to nothing I can do about issues that arise, other than update and pray.

I'm still running the old version of Tapatalk. I refuse to update my iOS until I'm forced to. Tapatalk worked great until the server switch,then it got spotty. I still use it since 90% of the forum content works fine. For the 10% it doesn't work I just open in my browser.

Tapatalk worked great for me, and I really liked how easy it was to upload photos, etc.

It still works (I’m using it to type this message), but about half of the posts just show up as “Sorry, content not available”...

ItÂ’d be great to have full use of Tapatalk again, but I understand there isnÂ’t much you can do about it.

Tapatalk puts all those wierd symbols in your messages though yes? No?

I think it might be best to just disable it.  Like Jerry Brown says, 'Less is More"
