We're going to experiment a little and see if Tapatalk is the cause of some of the slow mobile behavior for people.  We're going to unplug for a week and see what happens.

It's definitely made access on my phone a lot more gooder.

I does seem much faster now. I still get the occasional 'connecting' time out when accessing a post but not nearly as many as I used to (it was almost constant before).

It seemed like it was better but the page timed out when I went to reply to this thread so perhaps it's not (sending this once I was connected to my home LAN).

Replying to threads always seems hit or miss when using my phone hotspot. Not sure why. But just reading the threads seems a lot faster now.

Hey folks - I need your feedback on this so we can make a call on whether or not to leave Tapatalk unplugged or turn it back on

I've got a nexus 5 phone and used to find it easier to post with Tapatalk as I did not have to zoom in/out on the forum page.  I'm using my phones browser today, it works and isn't the end of the world.

I've been googling about Tapatalk and forum use, and some other sites appear to have similar problems using it.

Maybe it's just because I have a POS phone, but I don't access GH except from my home and work computers. Viewing any site through a mobile device smaller than my iPad is annoying. You guys need an intervention.

I found the same thing, which is why I wanted to try unplugging it for a bit to see what people experienced.

Good call.  The site overall does seem more responsive after disabling Tapatalk.

If you still have Tapatalk disabled Brant, it's not the issue.  The site still crawls for me when I'm mobile.

I use the site all day on a crappy Windows phone and I've never had a problem.

I'm wondering if this is an OS or browser issue.

I don't think Tapatalk exists for a Windows Phone, so instead of checking for it on every page load, I think the software sort of chuckles at you while giving you a digital shrug

Yeah, well the site loads for me.

I never cared for Tapatalk anyway. Even when I had a fancy iPhone.
