Beena22 Posted April 25, 2018 Share #1 Posted April 25, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Since yesterday I have been unable to sign into the forum with Tapatalk. I initially was booted out for no reason and now the login fails each time I try to get back in. Is this an issue with the forum or is it just me?

Beena22 Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted April 25, 2018 Tapatalk was discontinued in this forum. Really? I use it all of the time. Why was that decision made? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted April 25, 2018 Share #5 Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) I haven't heard about a "discontinuation" either. It was working fine a couple of days ago. If the LUF has been shut off from Tapatalk it must be a recent development. Edited April 25, 2018 by wattsy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattsy Posted April 25, 2018 Share #7 Posted April 25, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks. Might have been helpful if Andreas had notified us in the English language section (unless I have missed that?). Might have saved a bit of time fannying around trying to enter my password, etc. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beena22 Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share #8 Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) Would have been nice to let the non-German speakers know of this issue. Edited April 25, 2018 by Beena22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted April 25, 2018 Share #9 Posted April 25, 2018 Thanks. Might have been helpful if Andreas had notified us in the English language section (unless I have missed that?). Might have saved a bit of time fannying around trying to enter my password, etc. I was in the same position. If there was an announcement in the English section of the forum I missed it. It's not too much of an issue, this is the only forum I use that supports Tapatalk, and I only use it on my phone anyway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUF Admin Posted April 25, 2018 Share #10 Posted April 25, 2018 Sorry – my fault. The GDPR, especially the German flavor DSGVO (Datenschutzgrundverordnung), keeps my busy (and is driving my crazy). So I forgot to inform you here... Long story short: New privacy regulations go active on May 25th, relevant for everything related to processing of personal data. This is what I do here with your email addresses etc. so this is very relevant for the forum. Fines go up to 20 mio Euro... I have to make sure that your personal data are protected from unauthorized access, for example by signing contracts with companies like my hosting provider. Tapatalk had far-reaching access to the forum database but… - doesn't offer such a contract - is not compliant to EU privacy norms … and wasn't very open to questions (to say the least) Thus I'm running an immense risk if I continue to run Tapatalk. I'm planning the update to a new forum version which brings much better support for mobile access but I can't promise an exact date. Again: Sorry for the late information but this is an existential risk for me. Andreas 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted April 25, 2018 Share #11 Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) Thanks Andreas. The owner of another forum I visit dropped Tapatalk support a while ago because of the issues he had with it. That forum recently migrated to XenForo which he felt was much superior forum software to what he was using before - which if I remember correctly was VBulletin. The mobile support for the new software is pretty good. Edited April 25, 2018 by stunsworth 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUF Admin Posted April 25, 2018 Share #12 Posted April 25, 2018 I'm not getting too deep into this - choosing the right forum software is a complicated issue... XENForo seems to be great - though I didn't use it until now. Only lacks some features and extensions which are crucial for my communities. vBulletin was great and I used it until 2014. Later versions became worse and worse. Good move to drop it some years ago... I'm using IPBoard - for now it's version 3.4 but I'm going to move to 4.3 – which will have a much better support for mobile devices. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted April 25, 2018 Share #13 Posted April 25, 2018 Like most other people in Europe, I have received hundreds of emails from all and sundry with whom I have had contact over the years, all of them asking me if I wish to remain “part of their community” or however they term it. This new data law has been a godsend when it comes to being able to say “Cheerio” to dozens of firms from whom I never want to hear again. (Are you listening, Mercedes Benz?) The best bit is that they have to ask me 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted April 25, 2018 Share #14 Posted April 25, 2018 I have found access to the forum so easy on Android and Chrome that I only once looked at Tapatalk, and concluded I just didn't need another app and account. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
