I forwarded this to Shaggy, hopefully he sees it soon
Thank you!

I searched and found the 10,000 character limit and I know the reasons behind it but one of the thing people used to do was use the "code" box to insert long strings of codes into. When I tried to use the general code function it did not create the code box. Is this a bug? Thanks again for all your help!

Just wanted to bring back up the discussion regarding allowing user to edit posts after xx amount of time - I understand the reasoning why it was enacted, but as suggested in another thread, perhaps assigning that ability by group would be an acceptable alternative, such as the Contributing Members group?

As @Mpgrimm2 noted, the perfect litmus test of this is the AlfaOBD thread, in which new and useful features and configs are ongoing and the ability to update/remove outdated info from the original post would be very beneficial.

How do I start a forum/question? I am curious about pros and cons of putting a full brush guard of my new 2018 RAM SPORT. I don't want a bull bar. I am interested in if a full guard really does protect OR just by being there actually do more hard? Thank You.

I can't take a screenshot due to the drop down closes when I make the attempt.


Was there any fix to this issue?

Trying to delet a picture in his album. I'm having the same issue, there doesn't seem to be an option for it.

I've had this issue re-occur for weeks and it's getting worse. I make a post in a thread and I can't see a single thing I have put. It also happens when I try to edit my own posts or other people's. It's making using the forum on tapatalk app difficult.

Forum is https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/dis...]Screenshot_20181222-064632.jpeg[/attachment]

I can confirm this has been happening to me for awhile now (month or longer). Thought it was just my Galaxy S7 getting old, but my new Galaxy S9 does the same thing. Tried switching from dark mode to standard light mode viewing and still occurs.

* Text is definitely there as I can copy it out via select all (even though I can't see it), but can't edit/update what I can't see.

* Seems to occur more with editing a post with quoted content (too many characters?).

* Temp workaround is to open in browser so I can edit posts that do this.

* Reboot of phone/Tapatalk didn't resolve either.

Example from RAMforum.com

Thank you! We were able to replicate the problem on our end. It will be fixed in the next App update. Thank you for reporting this to us.

Got the update to v8.1.4 (3162) the other day and just had the text disappear while I was trying a reply in a private message/ conversation. -- > looks like it is still a problem.

Howdy said:
Hi
Thank you for the confirmation.
The Tapatalk plugin running on this forum is outdated.
Updating the plugin should resolve the problem.
I'll send a note to the forum admin. Please do the same as requests from members are looked into more quickly.

Can anyone confirm if the Tapatalk plugin is up to date per the above post/link?

I'm still having the issue occasionally with the text in long PM 's/quoted info disappearing while I'm typing (but still actually there).

That was from my iPhone, I don’t use tapatalk either. Looks like your clicking on “MORE”

To search a forum only you need to be in the forum you want to search in, then click the magnifying lense at the upper right corner and this window will pop up

Another useful feature is if your on the forum home page and you click/tap that magnifying lense, then click/tap the arrow on the right of that pop up it takes you to “useful searches” with a selection that may be helpful for you.

I was using the search forums button on the left side of the header bar, but I see that search you use now. Thanks. It will save me a lot of headaches.

Search thread only is very useful for long threads like the AlfaOBD one

Don’t feel bad, I just stumbled on it myself one day and just figured everyone else was using it but me till then lol

Anyone else not really being notified of replies? I have my notification settings on but rarely does the forum notify me via the red bell on the top right of the page.
