My tapatalk has suddenly stopped working. It says the 'community can not be found' or something.
And the dreaded Error 404!

Never had this issue with it before and it happened all of a sudden.
Is anyone else having this problem or just me?

Hi Cacoethes,

I'm really sorry for the difficulties here but we unfortunately had to remove Tapatalk from the forums earlier today. There appears to be a security exploit with the version of the plug-in they supply for use with our version of the vBulletin forum software. This particular problem seems to be exploited by various bots which are designed scrape content from forums that run Tapatalk, RYL included. This malicious activity was generating massive load on our servers and, as a result, we've had to pull Tapatalk for the time being to protect RYL.

I'm sorry again as I know it's always disappointing to lose a feature you use daily - we'll bring it back at some point as and when and if it is safe to do so.

Best,
James

Ah, that's a shame.

Thanks for the info though :)

I was just going to ask the same thing!
Thanks for the heads up :)

Any update regarding Tapatalk? I miss it!!!

Ah, I was wondering why it wasn't working. It's such a shame I use it daily.

Any update in this? Do you reckon it'd be she to use tapatalk again?
