Title: Forced Taptalk on windows phone
Post by: 1design on August 30, 2016, 01:42:54 pm

I am having some trouble accessing the eevblog forum from my phone. It prompts me to use tap talk and refuses to load without it. Since I use a windows phone, Taptalk is not available. Nevertheless the forum keeps recognizing the device as Android. This started a few days ago and never happened before. Any idea on what to do?

I have similar problems elsewhere sometimes where it thinks I'm on an Android too - have no idea how to resolve it.

However, just wanted to let you know that Tapatalk IS available for windows phone, I have it installed. Not sure if you want to install it or not, but it is available.

I've seen the same android thing. Tapatalk does work on Win 8.1 at least. Best of luck..

I get the tapatalk prompt too, but when I press cancel it loads the forum in the browser.

I run Windows 10, no matter what I do the page doesn't want to load, either OK or Cancel, neither do the trick. It seems I will have to give up on the forum from the mobile platform as Tap Talk is not something I wish to use.

I have Android and it just work all fine. Running it from a Huawei P8, upgraded to marshmallow.
