Do we get any new tapatalk features with upgrade? Push Notification?

Not sure to be honest, the forum is now running the latest tapatalk script though, so if tapatalk got it then we got it :)

Still have to use Opera to be able to log in. And have to login afresh each time despite clearing the cookies again. Now I can't get back to ANY of the forums I was logged into as I've long forgotten their passwords I've been logged in for so long!!!!  Firefox won't let me login at all except to read as a Guest.
Had a bad day, though, so maybe not doing something right.
Lost our beloved Border Collie today, 14 years old - we are both absolutely devastated. :( Will post in relevant forum section when more with it and when I can actually login........  :(

Thanks Squeaky, not sure how I'll cope at work today but hey, life goes on. From a forum access point of view, Tapatalk seems fine although i have to login each time, at least its easier access than the pc at this stage!

Condor - sorry about your dog, I know what that one feels like :(

Re the forum - delete the shortcut if you have one (favourites) and re-create it, that fixed it for me.

Just a quick note (bit of a busy morning) for anyone having issues with logins (courtesy of X5Sport):

Here is now to sort it (apparently):

Remove Xdrivers cookies - I only removed the site specifics.
Remove Xdrivers bookmarks.
Clear recent history.
Restart browser.
Search for and log into - might have to do it twice oddly.
Accept new cookies (I have 'prompt' for IE & FF, 'Accept from visited only' in IOS).
Create and save new bookmarks.

Not all the above will necessarily be needed, but it should sort problems for those having trouble

Morning all.

New look is cool.

One issue I'm having and it's on both desktop and iPhone is when going into PM's I click on a message to try and open it but it just doesn't do anything. I can see a preview of last 4 messages but that's it. Can't seem to go into any messages...hmmm

Any help?

From what I can see the messages appear below the list and clicking on the message jumps you to the appropriate message. This uses a simple anchor tag do not sure why it wouldn't work. What browser are you using? Can you try a different browser just to test?

Don't know if I'm missing something but have we lost the 'first unread post' option?

The preview bit below the messages shows the first 4 but when clicking on the message it doesn't seem to shift the preview bit to that message.

Using safari on iPhone and internet explorer on desktop...hmm

If you click on the "new" icon it takes you to the first unread post

Off topic......

Condor...really sorry to read your news.  Been there all too recently.  Take care both... :-\

On topic......

For pc/tablet/smartphone browser type access, this is what I had to do to get everything working (I don't use Tapatalk), but this worked on IE9, Firefox12, and IOS5.1 version of Safari on iPad and iPhone4:
On the browser......from whatever 'Home Page' you choose clear down..History & Cache (NOT Cookies)
In the Privacy Settings area - delete all Xdrivers cookies only - this preserves all your other settings for other sites.
In the Bookmarks area - delete any bookmarks for Xdrivers (the old bookmarks have an issue in some invisible code I couldn't see)
Close the browser and restart it.
Search for Xdrivers on line via you usual search engine.
Log in - you might need to do it twice for some odd reason (don't forget to check the session limit box if you want to).
Accept the cookies you want (if prompted, depends upon your own settings) for the Xdrivers site.
Create & Save a new bookmark for the site.

I now have no problems keeping logged in on IE9, FF12 or IOS.
