Guess I need to go find the free tapatalk link someone provided on another forum awhile ago (before I had a droid!) Check it out and see what its like :)

Looks like a neat app, but it costs money.

It's definitely working for me, Rigel. It is stable and solid, yet fairly simple. I guess you could say, functional. It lets you browser, read and reply, with ease. It does cost $2.99 but it also allows you to access thousands of other forums, not just TCS (I know, I know, we only need TCS wink.gif but I figured I'd mention that, as the price covers a lot more than access to TCS).

I am on it now and absolutely love it. smile.gif Very smooth interface too. I was able to get it from Amazon for only $0.99 bc they had a thing where you can tweet and get a $2 credit. Even better!

Doesn't work well for me.... Does not open "new topics", or "unread threads" on TCS (it does on ECF, for example, so I am not sure if TCS for Tapatalk has a problem at this point). Search is not setup yet. Sometimes the forum works for me, sometimes it doesn't.... Weird... ECF works all the time.... I will keep trying, the application seems pretty clean.... Ah, PMs are not working either - it says I don't have security permission for it?? So it is completely limited to the forums for now.

The mobile site is not good at all, I have to say - It is very, VERY slow, so to me on the road this is going to be the only way to be connected - I hope with time it starts working better... There is no possible way to use the mobile site anymore IMHO - I just don't have the patience to wait for the pages to load.... The old TCS was way faster....

It sounds like you have to play around with the Tapatalk settings. The (Android) app isn't very well-organized - I couldn't find some of the settings, and accidentally got to them when I hit the Back button. Maybe you have to do them individually for each forum you use to get them to work properly.

Just downloaded tapatalk today. I think it works better with the other forum I'm on, but I will play around with it more. Seems pretty cool, and is easier than using the mobile sites and having to zoom and adjust while reading topics!

Carolina, what's ECF? Is that another forum you're browsing on Tapatalk, or is that a different app?

I'm not Carolina, but I can answer that, since we're both "vapers" and belong to the Electronic Cigarette Forum. It has the Tapatalk plug-in, too.

The site loads fast for me on my blackberry. I will continue to use the forums on my blackberry browser instead of downloading tapatalk. It has a lot of bad reviews on blackberry app world and costs $3.99.

Carolina, could you please provide me with a few more details. Do the problems you reported occur on Tapatalk or when browsing on your phone with a browser application. As far as I can tell, and I'm new to Tapatalk, there's no way to send PM's there or run searches? Is that a feature that you have on the ECF Tapatalk?

If you could please separate between issues with Tapatalk issues and issues relating to browsing the forums on your phone browser, that would really help. Please also let me know what phone you're using.

Thanks!

As far as I can tell, and I'm new to Tapatalk, there's no way to send PM's there or run searches? I am logged in on ECF (as Tricia explained, e-cigarette forum, as I want to explain what works there, vs TCS  Is that a feature that you have on the ECF Tapatalk? - Yes - You click on the mailbox icon/PM on ECF, and it sends you to the PM folder - you can then go to the inbox or sent messages. As far as search goes, they have 2 choices: search topics, and search posts - both working.
Tapatalk TCS: New Topics Icon: gives me a grey page - doesn't work. Unread Topics Icon: Gives me no threads. Participated Topics - gives me a grey page - doesn't work. Subscribed Forums Icon: Gives me I have no Forums. Subscribed Topics - Gives me a grey page - doesn't work. PM Icon: (Security error: You might not have permission to access this feature) doesn't work. Basically, the only thing that's working on TCS Tapatalk is the Forum Icon - Tapatalk is much more than that - you should be able to search, send and receive PMs, etc - this gives the full forums functionality in your phone, not just browsing the forum....
Here is a comparison of what is working on TCS vs of what is working on ECF on Tapatalk:
TCS: Enter Forums, Subscribed Forums
ECF:Enter Forum, New Topics, Unread Topics, Participated Topics, Subscribed Forums, Subscribed Topics, Search Topics, Search Posts, PM
If you could please separate between issues with Tapatalk issues and issues relating to browsing the forums on your phone browser, that would really help. Please also let me know what phone you're using.
Thanks!

The issue of using TCS now in my phone outside of Tapatalk is that it is dreadfully slow - So slow I can't do it.... It takes forever to load the pages.... Also, the dropdown menus are not working, so no luck for me on new posts and such...

Anyways, hope it helps on the Tapatalk info - :wavey:

I'm completely new to Tapatalk, having downloaded it yesterday from the Android market; phone is an HTC, but I can see some of what Carolina is saying. Comparing the two forums, ECF and TCS, this is what I see:

ECF: tabs at the top for Latest (with subcategories Unread, All, Participated, all working for me), Forums, Favorites (all my subscribed stuff, PM (subcategories Inbox, Sent Items; working for me), More (with subcategories Profile, Who's Online, Search)

TCS: tabs at the top for Latest (with subcategories Unread, All, Participated; I don't have anything under Unread, but I used "Mark all forums read" right after the switchover; the other two are working fine), Forums (with subcategories By Category and By Name, both working), Favorites (with subcategories Forums and Topics; all my subscribed stuff is showing up there, meaning forums and threads), More (subcategories Profile and Who's Online; no Search)

Hi Tricia, is your PM icon on the TCS forum working like it is on the ECF forum? I noticed you didn't list a PM icon for TCS... I can send a PM if I go to the forum, to the Cat Lounge for example, click on a thread, then send a PM to that person-the thread, or OP (or delete her/his name and type someone else), but not from the Tapatalk start page like on the ECF forum...

That's exactly how it's working for me. I don't have a PM icon for TCS.

I will post shortly on my issues/differences with tapatalk that I see between the 2 forums I have on mine. I think the other is working properly but am noticing TCS doesn't show the same way.

Carolina, is the PM icon there but giving you the permissions error message, or is it not there at all?
