mikesc Posted January 11, 2018 Report Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) yes, I’m aware of the add’s side of Tapatalk, I just thought an open debate on what the overall feedback on the consideration And option from as many members interested. Debate , on any subject, if it has any use at all requires all parties knowing what the subject involves and having experience in the subject.. "Open debate" on any technical subject , to have any value requires that everybody be aware of all issues, and that they understand them, and that they have the experience and knowledge of the subject being debated. We could "openly debate" how to make saddles, but I personally would only expect those with experience of making them professionally to be worth listening to in such a debate.Those who only own horses , or who only ride them, not so much. "A "saying.."it would be cool for me and maybe some others"* if "X" did "Y", even though it will do them, "X" no good and will actually cause them risk and lower their revenue**..is n't "open debate"..it is an opinion..easy to have, but with no "skin in the game" as a site owner. ( *"others" who have never asked*** for such here, I have read all the threads here, did so years ago prior to my first post, have read and still read all the posts since my first post, yes I read very fast, I "catch up every day or so, all posts , all threads , all categories , sites with "anti-bot" "speed traps" frequently think I'm a bot ) **I wonder also how the paying sponsors of this site would feel about having their ads stripped for some visitors and substituted with ads for tapatalks "clients" ***recently ( in the last 6 months ) there have been one or two people, no more than a handful of over 70K membership ( who do not appreciate the security problems that it entails ) asking about "site chat" being hosted here..it hasn't happened..site admin, it appears, knows the risks far outweigh any benefits.and also "chat" would not be indexable, to search engines, conversations, and any mention of leather therein, would not be publicly viewable, so would bring no flowers, only tears and hackers.

mikesc Posted January 11, 2018 Report Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) @MikeSC - you should share receipts - yummy :P haven´t even heard of tapatalk (have to google it) ... EDIT: seems I don´t need it :dunno: recipes ?..If I have the time :-) tapatalk..no..you don't need it, nor does anyone else..and it makes your smartphone much more vulnerable to being hacked ,pwned if you install it, and that is without all the spying that it does to you while it is on your phone, writing* attacks and hacks against smartphones is made so much easier because of all the crap apps and spyware that people install on them. * most "skiddies" don't write exploits..they buy them. Writing exploits ( or any code ) is not hard, but nowadays, amongst all the other things that people are too lazy to do, writing code of any sort is also too much effort for many..so much so that there are even apps for that too.

Contributing Member fredk Posted March 16, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted March 16, 2019 adding to this: I hope the owner of this site never goes over to the dark-side of Tapatalk I'm on other forums who's original hosts were taken over by T. T keeps making changes to the forums without consulting the forum owners. Then the forum owner has to spend many hours, even days, to undo what T. changed Just recently T decided we all needed to have one user name and one password to access all the forums on T. This was accompanied by a demand that we needed to pay $2.99 per day per forum to access the forums. One owner got that sorted tho and it was dropped, but in the meantime several forum members deleted their accounts. Since T took over the forums they have not been user friendly, the changes can come at any time and some aspects of each thread in a forum can be a lottery as how it functions, eg, in one thread I can edit a message, a similar message in the same forum I cannot edit, in some I can post pictures, in some I cannot Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members chrisash Posted March 16, 2019 Members Report Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) After running a number of commercial web sites from 2003 through to 2017, I cam to the simple conclusion about all the apps, Keep it simple and do your own thing, Life is far to complicated just keeping up with required changes to update software you actually need, and most updates are not user friendly, and guaranteed to take far longer than you were informed KISS is the best solution Edited March 16, 2019 by chrisash Quote Mi omputer is ot ood at speeling , it's not me
