Thread: Possible Mobile problems

Does run a little slow but main issue for me (iPad and safari-no tappatalk) is the word/link to the new auction forum is under the search box. Easy fix for me is go to recent posts and someone in marketplace has a "here" link to the auction area,
cheers

We're working on a more compact navigation, had some hold ups with conflicts with the new sections hopefully early next week it'll be completed. Part of the problem is the forum software doesn't play nice with mobile devices.

You should have a little more room on the PM and post reply pages now to.

Thanks for that,
i understand the hassels you might have with mobile devices. And with a new OS for I-stuff coming out soon I'm guessing you will have a lot more trouble?

Hi.

I've been running Tapatalk on both my phone (HTC Velocity 4G) and a generic Android pad for a number of forums for a rear or so.
WWF used to work very well until a few months ago. Since an update back then it 'hangs' on my phone at the "Connecting to server" window and goes no further.
All my other forums still work as they should in Tapatalk (ver 4.4.2). I figured that one of the updates would fix it but it hasn't. I've deleted the WWF link and wiped all the temporary files, then rejoined the forum on Tapatalk - no change. Stays at "connecting to server" and moves no further.
It works fine on the Android pad as well, so the issue is with the phone.
I have no idea what to try next. It is a little nuisance, since I can still read the forum in my browser on the phone, but the layout and size is not nice on a phone - particularly for posting to threads.
Any assistance will be appreciated!

G'day Joe - We are running the latest upgraded version of Tapatalk and having no issues that we know of other than yours, so as you say it may be a problem with your phone. Tapatalk has thrown up more problems than anything else for us and some don't seem to to be able to be worked around. Most forums don't update to new versions, so many people don't see the faults that can arise. Many forums are still running on versions that have been extinct for a number of years. We choose to go with the times and upgrade when ever we are told there is an update available.

Try using the vBulletin Mobile skin it should come on automatically if you don't load the forums via Tapatalk. If not it can be found in the Quick Style drop-down towards the bottom of any page (left side). Listed under "Default Mobile Style". In some respects it's better than Tapatalk, in others it's on a par. Worth a try though.

Hope this is of some help.

Cheers - Neil

Sometime today, Tapatalk has started to play up for me. I first noticed it on my new Android tablet using Tapatalk Pro but can confirm the same error msg on my older tablet using Tapatalk (an older version).

I have been using Tapatalk Pro and the new tablet for the last day without any noticeable issue until a few hours ago.

The error msg looks server-side. It appears when trying to access wwf from my tapatalk list of visited or accessed forums.
It reads: Package file version doesnt match with the installed version. please goto your forums AdminCP-Pluginproduct-manage product to upgrade by importing latest installation xml

wording may be a bit diff. difficult to read as it only appears momentarily.

Hi Dabbler, try that again please and let me know how it goes?

Wonderful. Works on both tablets again. Black magic at work Steven.....

No worries, glad it's working for you!
