Is this a major issue with using TapaTalk, or just an irritation, so I can prioritise?
Hiya. Glad to hear I'm not "special"
Irritation rather than issue. Just makes it a little more "involving" trying to stay up to date with what's going on

Have noticed that posts aren't posting as they are written when using tapatalk as well. Seems to be messing with the formatting. Something else for the backlog, sorry

Yep, I can confirm I can see the issue. Some of my posts have gone into Jamie's topic in the wrong order too. Like yours, they have gone into the past.

The forum is fine. It seems as though the synchronisation with Tapatalk is up the creek. That might take some sorting out. I can only suggest in the meantime to access the forum directly, not via Tapatalk. The new forum works much better on mobile devices.

Has anyone spotted this weird Tapatalk "out of order" posts on any other topic, or is it confined to the Rotus topic only?

Yep, I just checked and everything looks to have sorted itself out!?

Jon, can you confirm?

Maybe, given the forum upgrade, the sync of posts by Tapatalk had to be refreshed and this has take a while to sync correctly. We have a lot of posts on here since 2003!!

Not had that error.

I don't know exactly how Tapatalk works, but I think it holds a mirror copy of our forum. It's possible that the forum upgrade caused a wobbly with the sync between their copy and our updated live forum. It seems Tapatalk is gradually resyncing and issues are getting resolved?

Or am I being too hopeful

I've noticed it isn't offering an HTTPS version of the site by default.

If you navigate via HTTPS you get all sorts of fun formatting...

Thanks for pointing this out Brett.

I hope I have now fixed this. I have checked everything on my PC and Android phone and the secure (SSL, https://) version of the forum is now functional and all forum requests should be redirected to this SSL version for security reasons.

Please post here if there are still issues.

Apologies, it seems we have a problem with forum access via TapaTalk

The error is, "Network error, please try again later (get_config)"

Unfortunately, the TapaTalk have not yet released a "Stable" version of their plugin for the latest version of the forum software we are now using (v2.1.2). We have to use a "Beta" release, so that may be the reason for the problem.

I'll take a deeper look tomorrow. I'm knackered after driving 7 hours to a funeral and back today (lost an old work colleague

)
