As of about two or three days ago, I can no longer get SDMB forums to load on Tapatalk on my Android phone. I can log in to SDMB and see the list of forums, but when I select a forum it briefly shows “Loading” then says “0 topics @ (forum name)”, no matter which forum I try to go into. Other message boards are working OK on Tapatalk, it’s just the Straight Dope that won’t load. I’ve been using Tapatalk for a couple of months now and haven’t had any issues with it until now. Is anyone else having this problem, or have any suggestions for how to fix it? ---

Lemme ask Xash if he can look at this. ---

I’ve been using Tapatalk for a couple of months now and haven’t had any issues with it until now. Is anyone else having this problem, or have any suggestions for how to fix it? The SDMB currently has the latest version (v3.3.1) of the Tapatalk plugin installed. Nothing has been changed on the server since it was installed in November. Please try uninstalling and reinstalling Tapatalk on your Android device. Other posters have reported a similar issue with Tapatalk on Android, and the solution that worked for them was uninstalling and reinstalling the app on their device: > **[Tapatalk not working?](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=630407)** > > I’ve been using the Android Tapatalk app for a while, and several days ago the SD stopped communicating with it. The other forums I have bookmarked are fine. Is anyone else having this problem, and is it something to be fixed at this end? Thanks! ---

I was trying to avoid having to uninstall and reinstall the app, but that did the trick. Thanks **xash**. In the linked thread **Larry Mudd** had [another solution](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=14494935&postcount=8) that I may try first the next time it happens.
