What is going on here?

Here's my 2 cents after poking around....from a software engineer perspective, and someone who pays attention to usability.

The site isn't responsive, and difficult to use on mobile phones. Most of the internet traffic is mobile. Mobile first should be the new mindset.

I went to install Tapatalk, to make my life a bit easier, and it's not pulling the list of forums in properly on a new installation - so, today, it's not usable. Not sure if this is a permanent issue with Tapatalk, or not....but, I also didn't see any reference on the site when taking a quick look, to see if Tapatalk is the recommended method to use this site via Mobile.

I also come from a time when Forums were the cornerstone of the internet, before the FB's and Reddits. It does take a really good core of dedicated users to keep the activity flowing, to engage new users, and to foster discussion. From what I see in this thread, there are some people who care very deeply about that - it's nice to see.

I’d certainly give TapaTalk a few more tries over the coming days ..
Maybe delete the app and reinstall it ..

Did you download it with a WIFI connection - obviously far quicker to download and less chance of any initial glitches.

As I’ve said if I didn’t have TapaTalk I simply wouldn’t bother going into all my favourite forums .

I’ve got two forums that aren’t compatible with TapaTalk and I rarely bother to log in and that’s if I even remember about them in the first place ..
