Taptalk notifying of posts and replies years old

[dontfeedmyego]

Anyone else getting this?

I get a topic reply or notification from taptalk... and it’s for replies or posts that were made years ago.
It’s happening over and over.
Am I crazy?

Please post a link to one of the posts so that we can take a look at it.

The impact of the Green Lantern Movie

The impact of the Green Lantern Movie

While Marvel has been pumping out movies featuring most of thier first and second-string characters, DC has been trickling out here and there but it's time to bring in one of the big boys - and as any fan of the character knows, it's gotta' be done right as it has the potential to have the same...

Tekkaman/Teknoman crystal doodad - lil help needed

Tekkaman/Teknoman crystal doodad - lil help needed

A friend of mine asked me to make this, since it's apparently a big crystal thing. Only problem is, I don't know crap about this show, or anything about the crystal itself. Are there any model kits out there or anything with some detailed specs about the overall size? I found a pep...

Just wanted to check to make sure that it wasn't an old thread that had a new post that post was deleted (that was not the case here). We are having a number of other issues with TapaTalk that may force us to disable it. I will have our tech person check to see if this is a know issue.

If you need more let me know.
Those were the last two I got- about 15mins before I posted this thread

This started happening for me a month or two ago.

I think I’ll just use the mobile site going forward. It’s really quite good anyway!

I'm experiencing the same. I thought it was related to the hack on the RPF the Art mentioned a while ago. It started about two months ago indeed and it's pretty annoying because old posts are considered as new post (in my subscribed threads). About half of my notifications are like this.
So this is only happening on Tapatalk?

The hack? Was the site hacked again?
I know we had the Russian hack back in 2012 and that wouldn’t be causing any of these issues, but now I’m curious if there was another hack since the site upgrade?

The site has not been hacked.

The site has not been hacked (unless you are referring to the incedent back in 2012). We did a major software upgrade that resulted in the Junkyard image issue but that has been resolved. This issue appears to only be related to Tapatalk.

 

[roygilsing]

My apologies. I must have misunderstood. I recall there were recent issues with the site. Maybe it was an old post as well!
I will contact Tapatalk support to see if they understand what might be the cause.

 

[CB2001]

Same. Uninstalled Tapatalk, started using the mobile site.

 

[roygilsing]

I've contacted Tapatalk support and they have been very helpful and easy to communicate with in the past. They replied the same day that they are looking into this.

 

[dontfeedmyego]

It’s pretty bad today.
Had 9 notifications today from old posts

 

[roygilsing]

I checked again with support. This is what he replied:

"I've not heard back from the technical team about this. I'll bump up my request."

 

[Montagar]

We are considering turning off tapatalk for this and a few other issues we are dealing with.

 

[dontfeedmyego]

Hahah. It just happened with this thread.
Got a notification again from the last post

 

[Art Andrews]

There was a time, especially back in the vBulletin days when tapatalk was valuable. However, they have become bloated and slow as they have tried to change their financial model and they simply aren't keeping up. The site is now more mobile-friendly than ever. I would strongly encourage you to give it a try. If you are used to tapatalk, it will feel strange, to begin with but you will get used to it pretty quickly but I believe you will have a better experience.

 

[ArtooThreepio12]

Thanks for that recommendation, Art. I have experienced problems with TaT myself; I used it mostly for notifications.

 

[PakRatJR]

It's a good thing I checked before starting a new thread. [emoji16]

Whatever the issues were/are, it is still happening. I get multiple notifications a month from threads that are several years old. Generally every few weeks it seems, but it kinda goes in spurts.

I pretty much just ignore them but at least I know it's not just me [emoji41]
