PM Not Working For Me.

[NanaReefer]

Can receive them fine but nobody gets my returns.

 

[spieszak]

Does it work outside of tapatalk?

 

[NanaReefer]

Did you get my pm?

 

[spieszak]

nope. i looked around the mod stuff and i don't see anything that even resembles a way to help. sorry

 

[NanaReefer]

I think it's an RF and TapaTalk issue. Guess I'll just have to start using the web version-lol.

 

[Scooterman]

TapTalk was disables a while back, security issues and privacy issues, until they get it fixed we'll have to do without sorry.

 

[NanaReefer]

Until who gets it fixed? Surely it's not a TapaTalk issue. I use it for all the forums. Never had an issue except for those I experience here.

I can't go into details as to why sorry, it isn't worth putting the forum at risk.

 

[NanaReefer]

It's going unnoticed by what other forums?! You're saying that R2R, RC, CR and Reef Addicts know nothing about this security issue with TapaTalk but you do?
I would think this would be an issue that needs to be brought to every ones attention.

 

[spieszak]

I don't know the details here, but its quite likely it "only" has to do with certain forum back end software.
TapATalk is a component that is installed on the web server as part of your forum software, so it has access to everything basically as far as the site is concerned.. RF uses VBBulletin and is at least one major version behind from what I can tell. (upgrades aren't always fluid, sometimes it doesn't make much sense to do them, and its happened before that sites basically get lost in the process) Its quite feasible that the issue was patched in newer versions, or only in other back end software.
Again, I DO NOT KNOW THE DETAILS, just adding a reasonable guess as far as what might/could be occurring.
You could likely PM Rev at R2r, or even just start a question thread on other forums to see if they are aware of vulnerabilities.

 

[NanaReefer]

Thank you! I've contacted the forums that I use. This is concerning especially if it's a security issue. I practically live on TapaTalk-lol.

 

[Scooterman]

PM sent, let me know If you get it, or just email contact us at the bottom of that forum page. I'll get that for sure.

 

[NanaReefer]

I get pm's but can't send them. Stranger yet is all my received pm now have the date Dec 12, 1969 on them.

 

[Scooterman]

are your using your phone or a desktop?

 

[NanaReefer]

iPad and it's only on RF that I'm having this issue. Sorry

 

[Scooterman]

Try loging into a windows machine, it should work

 

[NanaReefer]

I would if I could but I can't so I won't-lol. I own NOTHING Windows

 

[Scooterman]

OK, when I get back home I'll look at my options, there is a work around from what I've read.
