Tapatalk is gone!

[Ciderhead]

Me too do any of our IT heads have a clue as to what the issue is, and how, what or who we can pay to solve it?
Of all the achievements NHC have made and hurdles we have overcome, can't believe we are getting stumped by this one

[Ciderhead]

Sigh   just got another update from TT on Iphone
I guess I'll just have to use it for my other fora instead

[imark]

Was just wondering about Tapatalk again this weekend. Don't want to be a pain in the ass about this but do we know when we're likely to be able to use it again?
Maybe it would be worth dropping back on versions SMF? Saying all this without considering effort. Purely a question about whether the benefits of this unsupported  version offers members more benefit than a version that TT could be used?

[johnrm]

@Metatron, what do you think about matching the Forum version to TT?
JimmyM is off-net at the mo and Il TUbo is taking a back seat in Engineering.
I wouldn't mind biting off a piece of this but have no idea where to start nor have I the keys to the kingdom.

and on a horizon, a vision, a vision of sense I'm about to drop a grand or organise a group buy

[Metattron]

If you want to take a crack at it go for it. Generally though, SMF produce a set of scripts to upgrade to a new version. I doubt there are downgrade scripts, particularly to a beta version, which is what TT supports.  You would have to check if our current dB is compatible with the old version and if not, write a set of migration scripts. Then downgrade the software and reapply the mods.  Then test the site rigorously.  When all of that is done, you would then install TT and test everything again and apply any fixes required.  Finally you would start again on the live site, as you would of course tried all of that on a copy of the VM before trying any of it on the live site.  Then you would support any fixes required going forward for problems that are introduced but were not caught in your testing.  Simples.

Alternatively someone could ask TT when they are likely to support our version of SMF. 

Remember that TT is very easy to install, but very difficult to remove.  It took me two or three DAYS to fix it last time.  Hence the policy that if you break it, you fix it.

[johnrm]

Has there been communication with TT to find this out?
We're not the first to come across this.

[Metattron]

BTW if you are considering organising a GB to pay a consultant to do the set up and install, make sure it covers the time required to do any fixes or if necessary remove it again.

If you are looking for the club to pay for it, its not my call, but I won't be backing it.  There only seems to be about ten or twelve people here asking for it.

If you want my recommendation, buy a bigger phone, or smaller fingers. I'm constantly on the site on both my phones and have never had an issue.  It would also be cheaper than a GB...

Hardly post anymore, due to lack of Tapatalk, and think more than 10 or 12 people would benefit. I don't think bigger phone or smaller fingers is a particularly helpful suggestion. tapatalk works great on other sites.

I haven't been chasing it.  I don't use it, don't want it, and due to the amount of time it took to fix, don't care if I never see or hear of it again.  I did however take a look at their site earlier, just to see if anyone else here has posted the question there, instead of constantly updating this thread (ahem). Unfortunately their support site was down. Not a very promising sign.

[Metattron]

I could recommend several books on php and mysql then.  Anyone who wants to take over in admin I'd be more than happy to hand over the reins.

[Ciderhead]

There might only be 10 or 12 asking for it but we all want it and the issue is not going away and the only real one where we have stumbled on on the NHC takeover of the world.
I hear what you are saying in terms of workload and the potential to screw it up and so we understand the issue correctly
TT have plugins for Simple Machines Forum 2.0 RC5/Final just launched but we are are on SMF 3 or 4?
Perhaps is it time to engage with TT?  We can't be the only current SMF forum looking for this?
How can we help you Metattron instead of rubbing you up the wrong way?

[Ciderhead]

and so when they say stable its more wishful thinking than actual reality?
I see their support site is still down, I'll keep trying

Edit: Yeah Tapatalk makes me emotional...

I would be amazed that TaT is the only solution to a problem that I am not aware of!

This Old Fart uses his phone as a phone and his computer as a computer!
