This update made the forum inaccessible to me for almost a month and even now the experience of being here is pretty rubbish as a Tapatalk user.

My question is why didn't you wait until Tapatalk caught up with IPB before updating?

Hi - tapatalk is an additional resource that is available to our forum users but is not seen as a primary addition. Clearly there were significant benefits in terms of managing the forum that came with version 4 for us here. 

I accept that we could have waited but tapatalk did make indications that the update wasn't far away. I certainly didn't expect them to take this long. Either way the site now has a fully responsive theme that will work in a standard browser and that is the preferred method of accessing the site.

In addition tapatalk has always been and will always be limited in terms of its capability as it only ever supports the forum aspect of the site which is far from ideal.

 

I've made Tapatalk quite aware of my frustration, don't worry! I'll give the site a go in Safari to see how I get on although I do prefer the convenience of Tapatalk.

Thanks for the response.

I have asked Tapatalk about access to blogs (they said they'll pass it on for consideration)

I've also reported an issue with images not displaying in tapatalk - the html seems to get mangled and a smiley appears.

There is also an issue where, if you post something in tapatalk, it removes all the line breaks - so you get a very very long paragraph. Not sure if that is a tapatalk issue, or a config issue on PCF?

If your posting via tapatalk and the issue with line breaks occurs then the issue is with tapatalk - not here. If you are posting here and it's not right then the issue would be here.

ok, ta.

I didn't know if it was something to do with HTML/BBCODE etc being turned off here. I'll report it on tapatalk's bug thread.

HTML BB Code is not technically turned off. We are just using a much more intelligent editor that does not require things to necessarily be placed in BB code as it used to. Parsing now happens on the fly. HTML is deliberately blocked in the editor for security reasons other than to some staff.

Ive had a response from Tapatalk.  Have you updated the Tapatalk plugin recently? Apparently the paragraph issue has been fixed in the latest update (0.1.4)

Thanks mate - will update it now - try again in 5-10 minutes and let me know if resolved for you.

​Updated for you

Just tried a test post -  issue with spacing still remains. I'll go back to Tapatalk with the URL.

Ok no worries

A new version of the Tapatalk beta has been released tonight, if you're not already aware.
