Every forum I know that moved to tapatalk/vanilla has regretted it. You will too.

You're saving nickels but will lose dollars from downtime and forum stability.

Can you elaborate? I'd like to bring these concerns directly to the Vanilla people.

Talking of Bob Dylan, I used to listen to this over and over again. I'm on my third replay as I write. Fantastic.

I'm just glad to see that everyone is taking the migration calmly and in stride, just as I suspected they would

The Vanilla or Tapatalk people are not going to be honest with you.

Former forums that were acquired by Tapatalk will crash for sometimes hours at a time and you have no recourse and little customer support when sending in a ticket. The unofficial support forums are also run by Tapatalk and aren't operable during a crash.

When their forums break, they break spectacularly.

Where does Tapatalk come into this, for 2+2?

We aren’t moving to tapatalk hosted forums.

We just use a tapatalk plugin to our vBulletin forum to enable the mobile app.

Yeah, that's why I was asking - not sure that his concerns are relevant to our move.

Is there some special step that is broken on the password reset? It claimed it was sending me something and, more than 24 hours later, I still have nothing...and yes, I DID check the spam trap for my address...

How many forums do you know that have moved to vanilla? Can you link to a thread on any of them where people complain about their experience?

I’d settle for just about any other year right about now. 2020 has been ****.

I was confusing tapatalk hosted forums versus vanilla forum software. Mea culpa.

We should also have something else to look at in terms of the vanilla software in the next few days. Some of it depends on whether they work on weekends.
