Hello,

Guys we hear you all about turning it back on. And thanks for your enthusiasm with the site. But please bear with us at the moment. I'm working on something for the site currently and I do have Tapatalk on my agenda.

Titus

Ok, thanks. Hopefully this can be back online before the end of the month! I've been quietly cursing at my phone because Tapatalk isn't working.

+1 Tapatalk User

Hello,

Well, not by end of the month. There are other software and infrastructure releases up coming on a much bigger scale than Tapatalk and resources need to be allocated to those projects at the moment.

Titus

Hi Titus,

Thanks for the site upgrade it seems everyhing working great :razz:
Any plan for enabling the tapatalk ?

Hello,

Not yet. I still have a long list of to dos behind the scene before getting to this. Things like security, remote access for the Staff team, monitoring, and there appears to have been a mail issue. After all these, I have to update the board's software, then do a migration to the v4 version. Then I need to revisit some long planned enhancement also.

But somewhere along all this I do have Tapatalk in mind and will try to schedule in when I can review its security and feature set again.

Titus

Is this not one of those "low hanging fruit" type of things that can be quickly knocked off the list and will be noticed by a lot more board members than the things ahead of it on the list?

I'd be more afraid of Titus kicking you in your low hanging fruit type things if you keep riding his butt about this. My 0.02 lol.

I can sympathize with a user who misses a great way to read his favourite forums and I can sympathize with a sysadmin who always has more work than he needs.

The trick is finding the right balance, user vs. sysadmin. I think is this case I would side with the users and move tapatalk higher up the priority list but this is not my forum and only my opinion.

+1, I personally don't use it, but also side with the users. As it is the users that make this place great, so keep them happy!!!

Hello,

Guys I am reading this thread from time to time. I have the following on my list which I believe is a bit more important than enabling Tapatalk.
-Re-enabled photopost and vbGallery (both are down after the site transfer due to code incompatability).
-Fix a utilization issue on hardware.
-A few other non-imminent issues but stuff I need to work on to get the site moving forward.

The PhotoPost thing is an outage for me. The utilization issue can potentially thrash the site (not likely but I see increase in alerts I'm getting). Tapatalk has a work around, however, by browsing the site using normal browser. I think the choice is clear to me.

Titus

I hear you titus. I can suggest for the hardware side you might want to investigate virtual server with a reputable host. We have about 30 Windows and linux VM and love it. Need to add another NIC or increase RAM it only requires a reboot. Recovery is awesome, pooch an install you can do a full OS, SQL and data recovery with a couple of clicks and be back up and running in minutes rather than hours.

I would recommend any sysadmin look at hosted VM solution for their next server.

Hello,

We are on the latest ESXi and dedicated backup server.

Titus

Any update on this ?

Hello,

Sorry had to do a sudden trip to London for a month and a half. Will continue when I'm done on the trip. In any event, I'm keen to close this out by end of year.

Titus

I'm keen for you to close it too :D. Sure do miss tapatalk

what the heck is tap a talk

I was wondering the same thing - I've been away from geek land for too long..

Apparently it's a do-hickey for accessing bulletin boards on all these fancy new cell phones that I don't have.. Seriously, I'd be happy if I could get caller ID on my hunk of crud.. :sad:

Rob.

yuppers I know what you mean robbie hows the wrasse

Wrasse is great - still eating like he's twice as big as he actually is... :biggrin:

Sorry for following up again, any update ?

Hello,

Sorry not yet. Again I haven't forgotten about this.

Titus

Just BUMP :wink:

Wow, this is taking just so long to resolve, hey?
I missed it, too.
Always missing out on great threads or deals.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hello,

Sorry have put this on hold purposefully as we're working on a vBulletin 4 upgrade which has support for mobile devices.

Titus

WOW Thanks, and that code is compatible with any iPhone forum reader apps?

Hello,

From what I understand iPhone should be compatible. Unfortunately vBulletin 4 is a major upgrade from many aspects so I'm taking my time both for the upgrade process to mature, do integration testing with the existing setup, and get familiar with the features ourselves.

Titus

Is it really hard to enable taptalk feature again, you did it once really fast. I wonder why you dont want to do it again, it is so convenient and tons of the forums are using this app. PLEASE ENABLE IT AGIN or PROVIDE other mobile friendly solution.

THANKS

Thanks :lol:
