    ever since the apocalyptic crash, my mobile device(s) won't allow this forum to load thru tapatalk. I've even reverted back to last year's version of tapatalk, via titanium backups. I went so far as to load another rom, & still she no go. BUT .... other forums (xda, Droid, ect) still run just fine. The error I get upon loading tapatalk (error flashes by, really fast) - seems to say the file name that I posted in the OP is missing from forum site. Anybody else?

    [EDIT]on program reloading & letting the error message flash by again & again so I could read more of it.... It says "the add on file" (in the Op title) is missing.
    <sigh'ing patiently>
    sorry for the extra work Danny - and yes, as many others have already said - you're doing a great job with the forum

    Does that hat count as "weird"?

    See my detailed post earlier in this thread:
    Post-database apocalypse thread - 2014 Edition | Page 2 | PriusChat

    I asked Danny about it on Twitter and he said he'd be working on it over the weekend, but I guess he didn't get to it yet.

    One picture posting bug (apart from pic posting being broke on Iphone5):

    If I set my cursor at some point in the text, then upload a pic and opt to show it in the message, it invariably ignores cursor position, put the pic at head of the text. Workaround is to delete the embedded image, resposition cursor and re-embed the image. The second time it works. Just a bit tedious/confusing.

    Maybe like this posting. ;)

    Addendum: finding the following very simple workaround, would declare this more-or-less solved.

    Pick your picture to be uploaded, let it load. Then re-click in the message, to re-set the cursor location where you want the image to appear. Then click to embed the image.

    Today, I can't access PriusChat ? on my smartphone. I believe it is unique to PriusChat because I am able to access several other forums. Anyone else having problems? Specifically, I am getting an error message about an xml file not loading.

    The "new posts" button that is normally on all screens (mobile version of PC) has not been popping up over the last couple days for some reason.

    My workaround is to click the main priuschat banner and then "new posts" pops up where it should be...

    FYI.

    Thank you.

    FYI, I did not read through this thread before posting this. I started a new thread, but the mods combined my post into this existing thread.

    Clicking/mousing over the "All Forums" menu at the top no longer shows all the forums (and clicking on it shows an empty page [just the basic framework]).

    In addition, the Prius, Prius Plug-in, Prius v and Prius c menus at the top have no quick links list.

    I think this is the same as what was mentioned above. But the floating banner at the top, (with mark forums read, search, etc), is missing from most forums and pages except for here and the main index page.

    And Tapatalk has now not been working for two weeks. Danny said he'd look at it last weekend, but I guess he didn't get to it. Hope he's still reading this thread!

    I'm able to access this forum ? version 2.4.16 on my older android device.

    However, version 2.4.15 on my Galaxy S3 has that error about the xml file not loading.

    I tried uninstalling tapatalk and reinstalling, but got version 4.10.2 which gets the same error.

    The site looks good on a phone without tapatalk.

    Runs slower than tapatalk though, especially on an older device. Tapatalk is easier to navigate for recent posts too.

    I'm a bit glad tapatalk is down for a while; posts don't end in those annoying "posted from my pretty gold iPhone 6 in a pink otter box case ?" type signatures. :D

    It's trivial to turn that off, but how do you persuade users to do it?:(

    Leave the tapatalk extension that's fooked right now within the forum software alone. :sneaky: ;)

    I jest. In seriousness, there is nothing that can be done about it, unfortunately. I wish Danny had the option to block the signatures from being left behind by tapatalk but I doubt that option is contained within the extension for tapatalk.
