Nor did I! I wonder if it's part of the security updates in the new version of the forum software. I'm stunned it has never been raised before

@Booth11 & @Kevstar69 - it was just that Kev was in the New Members group which prevents uploading files until 25 posts. You can post image links, from alternative hosts, but not upload. Once you hit 25 posts you go in to the Junior Members group, which allows uploads. I've bumped Kevstar up in to Junior Members early and logged in - the attach option is now there. Hope that helps! Let me know if there's any issues.

You’re welcome mate. Thanks to Bec for pointing it out.

Just done it. I thought they were all the same limit tbh. Makes sense for them to be consistent. Give it a go now @BATVAN

I'll check it out. IIRC there's 3 tiers to stop spam. I reckon we can pull this down to 25 though.

@Booth11, @BATVAN is still in the Junior Members group. Once 50 posts are hit, he'll be in Members and all options will be open to him. It's a safety policy to stop spammers setting backgrounds etc 19 posts to go Batvan!

Finally got a response from Tapatalk. I'll be looking at implementing the changes they have suggested and I'll re-enable CloudFlare. As such, there may be some downtime for Tapatalk users when I do this. Not sure when I'll have chance yet. I'm hoping some time over the weekend.

Tapatalk is now functional. You must logout and back in on Tapatalk to access the forum. CloudFlare is currently disabled, and as a result the forum may run a little slower. If we come under DDoS attack, the site is slow, or we have server overload errors, CloudFlare will be turned back on at the expense of Tapatalk. This won't be a permanent solution and you may see some issues accessing Tapatalk while I continue to work on this issue. FYI, Tapatalk are being exceptionally slow to provide any assistance. I would ask that all Tapatalk users please use the main website, even on mobile devices as this is what pays the bills. Tapatalk visits cost us money due to the paltry advertising payments we see. The bandwidth and running costs far exceed what we receive from Tapatalk. Please consider this if you want the forum to be here long term. Thanks for your patience.

Still nothing from Tapatalk. Going to investigate dropping CloudFlare on a temporary basis, to see if Tapatalk can then authenticate (provided there are no major issues with speed etc). This won't be a permanent solution however.

No response from Tapatalk.

Chasing ticket put in to Tapatalk support - they're current response times are 3 days...

Essentially, Tapatalk broke their legacy app without warning. Forced a major forum upgrade and insisted we use a Tapatalk plug-in that was still in Beta. Then, went that didn’t resolve the issue, they failed to provide support. And that’s where we are. It’s all detailed in this thread. The recommended workaround is to just use Safari, or any browser on your mobile device, David. The new theme gives an app like experience. VWROC is just a website like any other and is accessible in the same way. As per my last update, I shall push Tapatalk again. If this doesn’t work, I’ll discontinue Tapatalk access. Apologies to all Tapatalk users, but we’re hitting brick walls with their awful software and even worse support.

Where abouts in the country are you mate? Presumably this is a MK7?

All, yes, this is back with Tapatalk who haven't provided a response since I updated the forum or added the Cloudflare rules. Their guides still reference old directories that don't exist in the new plugin 🙄 FWIW, this will be the 5th full day I've spent on it this month. If it doesn't work this time, I'll discontinue Tapatalk.
