Hi, I have been using Tapatalk to read this forum for a few weeks, but it stopped working today. It said the package file version is different from the installed version. It wants me to go into Admin CP and update the latest installation xml. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.

we got a note saying they released a new version or update to tapatalk, but in the note it said it was certainly not a required update.

anyone else having this issue? (im not personally)

I dont have this particular application but good advice is always:

"When all else fails...follow the instructions"

Id start by going into Admin CP and update the latest installation xml. just as it says

My second "fix" is to close the application and turn the device off for a minute or so. You would be surprised how often this works.



sorry to be a smart ass, but oftentimes we overlook the obvious

How do I get to Admin CP? I am not having a problem with the other forums, just TUG. I did the turn off thing already. :)

admin cp would be available to only doug and I....not a regular user.

and would indicate its something we need to update on our end...which is why id like to know if its a single issue, or happening to many folk.

It seems to be able to work OK here, but I prefer the 'classic' TUG.

Oh, in Tapatalk for android, how to post a reply? I have to to exit tap a talk to type anything. (Sorry to split the name above. auto correct did not like it.)

As an aside, I have to say that I LOVE using TapATalk to access TUG! I've definitely been reading/participating more, now that I can access it on the go on my phone (and I get notifications).

I never saw it announced (and never got around to searching to see if I just missed the announcement), but noticed it in a signature. Thanks for installing it!

I'm still having trouble on my ipad with Tapatalk 2.

Seems to be working on my phone though.

Strange.

I never noticed the problem and I use T2 on iPad exclusively.

Did you try the obvious and power cycle the iPad?

I did that and deleted and reinstalled TUG.

Oddly enough, when you replied, the notification came through on BOTH devices even though I'm still getting the error message on my Pad.

Other forums are working on it perfectly.

I deleted the app and re-installed it.

Works perfectly now.

How to set up?

To set up tapatalk pro which I just purchased on my ipad, should I use my tug id or my apple email and password? Yes, I'm a total computer idiot, and don't want to screw it up. :(

Once I have installed Tapatalk on either of my devices, and I open TUG, there is an automatic option to open with Tapatalk or not. I don't recall any separate log-in other than just my TUG sign-in.

It's stopped working for me since TapaTalk removed v3 off my device and replaced it with this new Combined V4.

It sends a request to TUGBBS but never gets a response :(
