I know there was a lot of work done a few years ago to get HST to where we are today, and during that time Tapatalk access was removed. Has there been any discussion on bringing that back? I'm sure there's a lot of us who would use it. I'm sure the admins could look back amd see exactly how much traffic came through Tapatalk and whether it's worth it. I use it for other groups and it's nice to get alerts through the app and whatnot. TIA

Thanks for the feedback. Its a bit of a long story but suffice it to say there is not much we can do at the moment. Tapatalk is a 3rd party tool, and providing support is up to them. My understanding is that the extension they provided has not been maintained in many years (during which time the board software has undergone several revisions), and even then had its issues with support as well as security. Long story short until they can provide a functional extension that passes validation there's not much we can do. Will try and keep ear to ground to listen for any efforts to resurrect the extension on their part

I know tapatalk may have a few extra features, but back in the day my understanding was mainly used to interact with forums on mobile devices. A few years back we did put in the effort upgrade and modify the board software to be 'responsive', meaning the layout should be reasonably usable on all devices (at least a lot better than before the updates).
