I am going to guess that it is a Tap-A-Talk issue, and thus - we can't do anything to help...but, I am not the Tap-A-Talk expert...In fact, I tried using Tap-A-Talk, and found it to be just an additional layer of software that I did not see the benefit in using, as we designed LTBBQ to be "mobile device friendly". I do realize that there are a couple of things that the "promise" of Tap-A-Talk offers it's users...but I think we can all agree that it is not always worth the frustration
. I deleted it from my phone and iPad, and - I no longer have any issues.
We are not "anti Tap-A-Talk" - but we can't always make the forum software fully compatible with 3rd party applications. We just don't have the tools to do that. And because the software for forums and Tap-A-Talk are owned and run by different companies - they do not always communicate as they should with fixes/patches. Now - throw into that mix, all of the different phone and tablet manufacturers which EACH have their own firmware tweaks which customize the operating systems on their devices - and you get an opportunity for a great train wreck :
George Ferguson (- our Admin/IT person ) tells me that there are
27 pages of issues/discussion on the support forum for our LTBBQ forum software.
I can assure you - that unless, and until iOS7 and Tap-A-Talk get their act together - we will not be installing the patches and updates. Why? Because it would be un-fair to ALL members if we cripple an otherwise stable platform - for the sake of a third party software.
So - I tend to believe - rather strongly - that direct access to any website - without the complications - tho promised convenience - of a 3rd party software - is better than the risk of additional lock ups, crashes, and.....tracking of your data/preferences/activity....
Having said all of the above - I will ask George to see if there is anything we can do be sure LTBBQ is as compatible as is
reasonable - based on the preserving the health/stability of the LTBBQ forum with the current Tap-A-Talk software version.
Never hesitate to contact me with any concerns, or suggestions - I promise you I will do all I can to make your forum use experience the best possible.
