Not sure though, @TerryP , but did you keep Tapa compatibility?
Is there an app people use on their mobile? If so what do you use?
I haven't looked at Tapa since then, SLO. Tapa was a crutch to a lot who seemed to think they needed a software package like theirs to surf message forums via mobile devices. (Some, not all. I've spoken with those who enjoyed its user interface.) I've seen a few make the comparison it was a lot like that group of people who longed believed you needed AOL to surf the Internet. It's a strange gulf between two groups of users because there are those who believe a lot of what they do on the 'net requires an app.
As to Tapa here on this site ... one, like SLO mentioned, it's not needed. But, the main reason I pulled the app were their security issues--specifically, cross site script vulnerabilities that they
refused to correct. (As an analogy, it's about like trying to get dollarweed out of your lawn. You can pull the leaf and you won't see it for a few days but until you pull the root systems, it's still there and will come back.) Tapa would delete their updates that had issues, but wouldn't address the core issue (which still left the security risk.) "Lipstick on a pig," as some are fond of saying.
For Tapatalk, the app was great and did a lot for them and their bottom line. It was very successful.
For users of Tapatalk, it wasn't as good for them as it was Tapa, but it was better than trying to surf a site that hadn't upgraded its systems to be responsive.
For developers of sites, like this one, it was horrible. It became a point where I was having to work around it...having to make this site compatible with their software...which defeats the overall purpose of what they were doing in the first place: make it easier on the user to use the developers software packages.
