Tapatalk running very slowly

[MJD438]

I use Tapatalk for three different forums on my iPhone. Of all of those sites, this one has become very slow to respond, taking 2-5 minutes to refresh data over the past several weeks.

Anyone else noticing this and have any ideas for client-side troubleshooting?

I've noticed the same thing. A few of the boards I use tapatalk for are all taking forever to refresh. I thought it might be my router but it wasn't. No idea why or how to fix

I thought it was just this site, MDS is VERY slow tonight on my PC. Every other site I've been on has been fine

I have the same problem.

Can somebody explain what Tap Talk is?

 

[DCSCO]

Smart phone app for forums such as MDS. At least in my world.

 

[Safetech]

I realize that. But what, exactly does it do?

It makes smartphone users appear more intelligent then the typical PC user.

Hmm.

 

[Straightshooter]

Well, I'm still trying to figure out how to turn that option on.

It presents the forums differently than using the default browser on a smartphone. Some functionality is more limited, but, for me, posts are easier to read, quote, and reply to without requiring pinch-zooming all the time. In the past, Tapatalk has refreshed pages quicker than the default app as well.

Ditto for me, yesterday. Haven't tried the forum with tapatalk yet today.

I thought it was just typical comcast suckage (Wi-Fi is always on at home).

Not from my experience. I hesitated in starting this post until I had enough anecdotal experience to show that it was something about the interaction of MDS with Tapatalk. The experience is the same, regardless of the underlying data network. The refresh times are staying consistent across:

• 50+MB FiOS at home
• 15MB FiOS at parents (both sets)
• Comcast cable ISP at two different friends' homes
• AT&T 3G/4G/LTE connections on two different smart phones
• High-speed Internet at both of my corporate office locations

Maybe the NSA backdoor into Tapatalk is glitching?

The MD general assembly will soon go into session. They're testing this year's forum hack.

Feds initiated a "brown out" for internet communication based on a threat today. No one else heard this?
