Let’s see if I can save this one. ---

That worked, so why can’t I post a thread in MPSIMS? Weird. ---

I was just able to start the thread . It may have been a glitch in Tapatalk. ---

Tapatalk is a visitation from Hell. Be happy with what crumbs it tosses. 😉 ---

I’m having a different issue: Tapatalk isn’t allowing me to log in. This has been going on for a couple of days. ---

> [@Spice\_Weasel](#): > > I’m having a different issue: Tapatalk isn’t allowing me to log in. This has been going on for a couple of days. I experienced that also. In fact I suspect that this may all have been related. Tapatalk was acting in some ways as if I was logged in, and in other ways as if I wasn’t. I was able to start the process of starting a new thread but then when I actually tried to post it I would get a popup saying that there was a system error. Maybe in some instances TaT wasn’t properly maintaining or reporting the session info so SD’S servers didn’t recognize my attempts as coming from a properly logged in user. ---
