For the past few days I can see the forums in Tapatalk, but when I choose one, say Great Debates or Cafe Society, it just hangs on Loading… This is the Android app. I am able to connect to other unrelated forums. ---

I have been having this exact same problem on my android phone for a couple of weeks now. I figured out you have to keep logging back in to see the updates. Go to the three dots in the upper right and log back in. In some cases I even have to log out, and then back in to see updates. I thought it was just me. ---

I’ve had numerous problems since Tapatalk updated 10 days ago. I have experienced forums hanging. I give it a few seconds and then back out and try again. My log in is my biggest problem. I keep seeing the message “login to reply”. Sometimes Tapatalk shows that I am logged in. I have to log out and log in to post or reply. Other times I mysteriously have been logged out and have to log in again. This has been happening several times a day for ten days. The newest version of Tapatalk sucks. What will happen if I uninstall and reinstall? Will I have to add back all my boards? I have several that I follow. I have version 7.0.6(917) ---

I may have no other choice except to reinstall. I’ve been logged out four times today. It’s extremely frustrating. I may be forced into using my PC again to access the boards.
