Tapatalk Support on VMB to End December 30, 2020

I loved how easy it was to add a pic to a post with tapatalk. When you’re doing a live tr, it was a snap to make a post showing a pic of what’s going on.

 

I don't use Tapatalk, but adding a pic to the board from your phone is very easy. Just click "Upload a File" underneath where you type your response and follow the prompt that your phone shows.

 

I would just add that the app alert function, at least on the Android version of Tapatalk, was potentially-helpful, but not a huge loss because it often got overwhelming (I think I've got like 50 alerts pending right now). Thank you for the info on the photo thing, that was really the one thing I used the app for.

 

FWIW, I used to use tapatalk for live TRs and pic uploading. I didn't really like it, but preferred it to the old version of the VMB site. But when VMB upgraded the site a few years ago, I found the mobile version far superior to tapatalk. Now, its just like using the site when I sit at a desk or lap top. All my live TRs the past few years have been created using VMB on my phone and I found it very easy to use

 

Time to get someone to make a VMB app lol.

 

This is great news. I've been using Tapatalk out of habit and never really cared for some of the features. I tried the browser version a long time ago and never thought to go back.

 

Disappointing decision

 

Disappointed as well. My phone never stayed logged in for very long and Tapatalk made for easy Trip Report updates and quick photo uploads.

But now this explains why Tapatalk went dark overnight

 

You gave plenty of warning. It's just that tap-a-talk was just so easy to post with so it's another learning curve for many. Actually, tap-a-talk would limit how many photos I could post. I remember one of my last trip reports being cut short because tap-a-talk told me I had reached my limit with their app.

 

We found the solution for that a few years ago. If you had a link setup on your phone or computer as http:// instead of https:// the cookie would reset.

Set this link as your bookmark on your phone and that should keep you logged in if you login from this link the first time. (Unless you phone browser deletes cookies after it's closed.)

Eliminating a convenient access point in a time when reddit is swallowing online communities whole just doesn't seem like a very wise decision.

 

Posting directly on the forum through the phone’s browser is far easier than using Tapatalk.

 

I managed to post all weekend despite irresponsible amounts of alcohol in my system. it works just fine although I had a lot of double posts. That could have beeen the booze.....

 

Curious have you seen any volume change in posting, visits with the removal of Taptalk? I haven’t really been here since the removal of Taptalk.
