still happening on Tapatalk on my iDevice.

Diana, Tapatalk is a forum reader app that a lot of us use on smart phones and tablets. Save your 2.99 though, or whatever it is they charge now. It used to be good but a recent update made it pretty lousy IMO, and that was before these problems.

The Captcha continues on iPhone, iPad and laptop. I share Jage's suspicion of Tapatalk, esp. Given my recent experience with ads popping up in the unread threads section on this forum but not others. If it's challenged the forum's security settings in some way, it may not matter whether someone has used it themselves over not.

I share 86Scotty's despair about TT's recent "improvements" and will probably drop it. However, whether it's the culprit or not, fixing this login bug may be very difficult.

FWIW, I'd encourage anyone with this error to change their password and make it very secure, at least for a while. That means at least 8 characters long with a mixture of uppercase, lowercase, numbers and punctuation marks. Here's a website that can make one for you: https://identitysafe.norton.com/password-generator#. Another approach that I like is to write the first words of a song you like and use their first letters for a password. Change some vowels to numbers (a=1, etc.), capitalize something, throw in a question mark or semi-colon and you're done. Write it down, though.

I was fairly PO'd when tapatalk, one of only two apps I've ever paid for, wanted me to buy an upgrade for 99¢

But isn't it pretty?

Does anyone's Tapatalk work?

I have the same problem with Tapatalk on my iPhone. Started about 3 or 4 days ago. Let's me type in the password, but then asks to fill in the Captcha which isn't displayed. Does not affect ExPo on Tapatalk.

No problems on my iMac or work PC (auto login on both).
