I’m browsing on Tapatalk, and the second thread in each forum is showing as a blank box, without any text at all. Anyone else getting this? The blank box shows a “0” post count.

Oh, when I click on the blank box, I get a “content not available” message.

Well, it appears to be an across-the-board problem. Have you reported it to Tapatalk? I can’t remember if they’ve had an update recently, but I did update a bunch of apps yesterday.

I powered down my iPhone and seems to have solved the problem.

iPhones will do strange things if you go too long between reboots.  
Tapatalk, Bluetooth issues among others.

Mine had the same problem, starting sometime midday today. Power-off and power-on fixed it. I wonder why multiple people had the same problem at the same time.
