Welcome to the all-new Android Central Forums - Please report your bugs here!

Forum website has been pretty slow for the past couple of days. Takes 10-11 seconds just to open a thread. Makes it very unpleasant to use and/or moderate ...
We had an add-on that was running which seemed to slow the site down. We have since disabled that add-on so things should be much faster now. The add-on was not really important anyway. It was just a widget on the sidebar allow you to create a new thread.
 
Okay, so I'm still trying to use the regular Tapatalk app. For some reason, if I'm not using the app after a period of time... maybe a couple of hours... then come back, the app can't pick up the AC forum again. All I get is that spinning circle.

Just as before when I switch over to the CrackBerry forum within the app, it works fine as always. But then switch back to the Android Central forum, and I get the spinning circle.

So, I do as previously suggested - clear the cache and force stop the app. Restart Tapatalk and click the re-login option (which I have to do every time I force stop it). Then the new AC forums stuff comes in, and I can get around and even post as usual. If I leave the app but come back within a few minutes, it seems to still work.

But if I'm out of the app for more than an hour or so, it won't update again when I do pull it back up. And I have go through the whole "clear cache, force stop" process again.

And again, it's only when trying to access the AC Forum. The CB forums does not have this issue, so it can't be the phone somehow shutting something down, or access to any forum saved in the app would be affected.

It's getting kind of aggravating.

Try clearing the date to reset the app and see if it's ok
 
Quite SNAPPY Now! Thank You to All... But, unable to open attachments in "show us your pictures" Topic. Use DDGo as default mobile browser.

Q - Is there a way to use Email Notifications in Forum rather than App? Log in is needed each time, & links do not work.

Need the exact thrad you're referring to. We have a lot of show us your picture threads and the ones I tested in DDG all seem to be working fine for me, so if you could find a post that's not working for you for me to check that would be great!

You have a bunch of options in your Settings/Profile to receive email notifications, plus you can watch threads and get email notifications.
 
Thank you. The results vary. And of course the threads vary. Subscribed to 31. Didn't want to make a big deal out of this, but would be Awesome if we could get to the actual thread we are subscribed to.
The actions of the email notifications vary as well. It's giving me a Headache!
"View this thread", "Watched Threads" & the underlined actual thread in the email. These are the results I get starting from the email:

Apologies, that did not work.

Here are some of the results I get, but
have decent amount of patience, as long as I don't have a headache.
AC is on Home Screen & that works well for me. No need to have it all ! (^=^)Screenshot_20230419_173324_DuckDuckGo.jpgScreenshot_20230419_173409_DuckDuckGo.jpg
 
I believe this seems to be a 'per user' thing, but just so it doesn't get forgotten :P The "Threads with your posts" link takes a VERY long time to load (all other links seem to work fine).
