Double Posting - topics/replies - MGS app on iOS

[Grit Golf 173]

Hi MGS,

 

I have been seeing my own replies and topics doubling up occasionally (not all of them), and thought it was just a bug with how my own replies and topics appeared to me, as the author.

 

That was, until I saw it happen to a few other members as well who had the “sent from my iPhone” tapatalk app sig.

 

I’ll be going in and cleaning them up tomorrow from my desktop, but wanted to drop this here.

Actually there is no longer any support for Tapatalk or the MGS App.  
 

My reccomendation is delete the App from your phone and use the mobile site.  It functions 95% like the full desktop version.

But I really like Tapatalk for MGS,  For me it is the perfect way to view the forum on my phone.   I know the mobile site works,  but I don't like change

I haven't used TT since that other site.  So maybe I was traumatized
 

But I had heard of some not being able to do some things on It.  But if it's working.  I guess keep using it.

Definitely flakey but it works for what I need. I use my laptop in the evening to do what I can’t with my phone.

Ill get rid of the app. It does limit some of the things you can do, and cleaning up the double posting is annoying.

The app on iOS also forces all links from browser to open over in the app, which is annoying.

Yep I had that exact issue, and it was driving me mad, until I got the advice from someone to just delete the app completely and use the mobile version.  I use firefox on my I phone and am able to enjoy it fully!

Good idea. I just deleted the app as well.

Cool, let us know how it goes on the mobile site for you and what you think after using it for a bit.

I actually prefer the mobile site. I just keep it open on safari on my phone. I downloaded the APP and struggled with it. To me navigating the site online is alot easier than the APP but thats just me.

I agree with @Lacassem on this. Mobile site is easy to use and I also just leave it open on my phone. I like the layout better than the app as well, just like being at home on the computer.

@Golfspy_CG2 do you have any notifications on mobile?  That's the main reason I like tapatalk right now.

I don't have any set as I generally hate notifications, I'm just weird that way.    But yet, this is funny, are you ready for this.  I just got a notification of this post via TT on my phone, and come to think of it, I've seen a few others of those popup.  But generally I ignore or delete any notification messages, when I first was setting all my apps when I got this phone, about 3 years ago, I set notifications for everything and got bombarded so about 6 months later, I spent an hour or so just deleting everything I could.  Guess I need to go to TT and turn those off!

hahaha I hear you there.  I generally have notifications turned off outside of Phone calls and messages (even e-mail notificaiton's are off) since I don't like my phone buzzing all the time.  But I do like getting notifications from this forum (I guess I have a bit of a sickness).  I'll have to start training myself to use the notifications from TT and just open up the browser.  

When I'm on the iPad I'm going through the web-browser since the experience is much better.

Just a show you can watch over and over. New Girl is another one I could watch that show all the time (New Girl have been through that 4x and Big Bang probably the same)

This is still one of my favorite episodes lol

That one was an absolute riot, I think I laughed for 30 minutes straight!

It looks like you could turn notifications on to send you an email for updates. I’ve never used that feature so I’m not sure how that would work out for you.

But I don’t get email notifications

I’ll prob keep TT for the updates and just create a short cut to the mobile page.
