I updated the Tapatalk plug-in today, so if anyone has any problems with it, let me know.

There is supposed to be a feature in the new version that has some type of interaction with a forums Twitter account, so if you find that feature, tell me how it works! I played around with my app today and did not see anything, but I'm not a regular user so I might have just been missing that feature.

On a side note, it appears that Tapatalk has been a popular way for many users to access these fourms. The traffic to the site using that app is decent.

Yeah I broke down and bought it a few weeks ago. I have been using it here and there to keep up. Especially on the weekends.

I will let you know if anything seems off.

What is the difference between tapatalk and just going to the website on your iphone or other mobile device? I can still post and such without tapatalk.

I mainly use it because it runs so much smoother than the mobile browser version.

**drownwithyou** · 02-27-2012, 11:30 AM

I used a free version of Tapatalk before, but thought it wasn't very good. I'm guessing the paid version is a lot better?

**shauntacular** · 02-27-2012, 11:33 AM

I like tapatalk for when I'm just browsing around the forum and reading stuff here and there, but the browser is definitely better for enjoying the full forum experience.

I never accessed the site via a phone before, but I know from trying that on other forums it is incredibly slow in comparrison. I click the tapatalk app, click one more time and I am looking at a list of everything that was last updated. I click the thread and get sent directly to the last post read. So basically it keeps me signed in and I click 3 times and I am reading words. It is very clean looking also. It was only 2.99, but it does seem worth it so far.

**redshark63** · 02-27-2012, 12:43 PM

I use tapatalk alot later at night after I have turned off my computer.

Works well for me

**jaymo** · 02-27-2012, 12:46 PM

I have MTS set to show threads newest post first. After the update Tapatalk seems to be ignoring the preference.

**jaymo** · 02-27-2012, 12:50 PM

I can almost fix this with the view newest post feature in the app.

**ben9753** · 02-27-2012, 09:53 PM

I use Tapatalk all the time and I love it. It's probably my most used app. One minor thing with it though is that you can't view polls. I wonder why they don't have that feature, because a lot of forums have polls as a main part of their forums.

**ben9753** · 02-27-2012, 09:54 PM

And here's is a box that just popped up when I sent the last post.

So the Twitter thing is there MotownWebguy!

**Vonlenska** · 02-27-2012, 09:58 PM

I read this site a lot with tapatalk. Love it.

They'll probably eventually have it. They recently added identification of who was quoted. That is a huge help in reading the threads.

That's funny, because in some forums, like OS, there was always the name of the person quoted, but not in this forum until now. I wonder why.

**ben9753** · 02-27-2012, 10:04 PM

Another thing that I hope they add is that when I'm at the end of a thread and I refresh, it takes me back to the beginning of the page. I want it to take me to the newest post, so that I don't have to scroll down and figure out where I left off. This is especially inconvenient in game threads, if I'm following the action in the thread, and posts are made very often.

Yes, they desperately need a "scroll to top" button or gesture

**jaymo** · 02-27-2012, 10:10 PM

I have it set that way.

**ben9753** · 02-27-2012, 10:14 PM

I have it set at always ask me, but when I'm already in the thread, and I hit the button in the top right corner to refresh, it automatically takes you to the beginning of the page, not the first unread.

Just tried it. I see the problem now. I guess it didn't cause me a problem until recently because it followed by preference to load newest first on the web site until recently.

I just started using it last week and I love it. It's handy for a quick check-in. I don't see the feature available to ignore certain forums so I do end up seeing all the political forum garbage but the secret to not feeling dirty is not tapping that thread.

**Greenwit** · 04-11-2012, 06:21 PM

I use Tapatalk all the time. Seems like my sig doesn't work here though.

**Antrat** · 04-12-2012, 11:18 AM

I was using tapatalk but they keep wanting me to upgrade to the latest Hi-Res version for another 4.99.
Not a big deal but when I just bought the app a couple months back, then they try to get more money for an update??...meh.
Can't even remove the update notification so I just uninstalled it altogether.
I'm sure they don't give a rat's behind, but I feel better.

**MotownWebGuy** · 04-12-2012, 02:23 PM

I just updated the Tapatalk files to the latest version. Not sure what the changes are, but you may or may not notice some new functionality.

My Kindle Fire updated and now shows the forum color settings.

**Greenwit** · 04-12-2012, 06:46 PM

One of the few apps done better in Android than iOS IMO.

Oh look I can take a pic on my iPad and paste it here. That may be the added functionality. Obviously some window reflection here.

**Truth** · 04-28-2012, 10:19 AM

I had read mixed reviews on the latest update so I had been avoiding it until yesterday when I couldn't connect here through Tapatalk. So I updated and it still doesn't connect to this forum. I'm connecting to a couple of other sites so I don't know what the problem is.

I've been disappointed with the latest update. They aren't major issues, but it's like other apps in that they make changes just for the sake of making changes. They don't enhance the app and might even make it worse.

Not sure what the issues could be... I'm using the latest version right now and haven't found any issues using it.

I don't know either. I just deleted Motown Sports and added it back on my phone and still can't connect. It's working on my Kindle Fire so it must be my phone but it's odd that it's only happening on this forum. I'll do my usual tech work...I'll wait to see if it works later :)

**MotownWebGuy** · 06-12-2012, 10:44 PM

Updated Tapatalk once again to the latest and greatest.

**Oblong** · 06-16-2012, 05:16 PM

I just got tapatalk today for the Kindle Fire. I used to access it via just the web function but today for the first time it asked me to get tapatalk so I did, it was only a few bucks.

**Biff Mayhem** · 06-16-2012, 05:55 PM

Its really handy

**jbhappy** · 09-28-2012, 05:15 PM

I don't know whether this is a server or client issue or how long it's been going on, but I've noticed that when someone in my ignore list quote-replies, the post is not hidden, and there's no 'Spoiler' button to toggle hiding the post. It's fine if the person isn't quoting anything, though.

Example of the problem:

Any ideas? I'm running the latest Android app (v2.4) from Google Play.

**Nolan** · 03-02-2013, 12:39 AM

Has anyone tried tapatalk 2? I am trying to figure out which one to get.

Yeah - opinion in the apps store is pretty polarized. The only thing that bugs me in the old version is that it is erratic about updating a thread to 'read' status when reading them under the 'latest/unread' tab. Other than that I don't have much motivation to try an update with so many bad reviews.

**ben9753** · 03-03-2013, 02:56 PM

I just bought this. I figured that I use Tapatalk so much I figured that it was worth a shot. It's much different, definitely takes some getting used to, but I think I like it.

**MotownWebGuy** · 03-04-2013, 03:26 PM

Just updated Tapatalk plug-in to the latest version.

**Biff Mayhem** · 04-20-2013, 09:20 AM

Out of 21 people on the site this morning, 11 are using tapatalk.

So is it a Tap-a-talk bug or a plugin bug that keeps messing with the 'read' markings? It seems like there is some kind of bug - though not always the same one - wrt to marking messages read, in every upgrade of TT I have used (now on latest version).
