If you have any problems or questions about using the site, please just send me a PM or post in this thread!

**Zerogirl** · 22-02-2013, 02:28 PM

Is the forum tapatalk compatible? What its the best Android platform to use??

**Marshy** · 22-02-2013, 02:55 PM

It comes with built-in 'mobile' capability, so no Tapatalk needed (although I know a few people prefer Tapatalk, so I will look into it). When viewed on a mobile device, it should display in a compact format. If not, let me know!

**chubb** · 22-02-2013, 03:29 PM

Tapatalk will be very handy Nick!!

**Marshy** · 22-02-2013, 04:30 PM

Ok, Tapatalk is now installed. And push notifications are enabled too!! Ask and ye shall receive....

**chubb** · 22-02-2013, 04:53 PM

Tops Marshy!! Thank you works great!!

JC · 22-02-2013, 05:04 PM

Yep. Its working good for me too.
thanks Marshy

that's happened several times to me since you changed then swapped back to the current version

**Marshy** · 04-09-2013, 05:21 PM

Is anyone a webserver admin guru? There's something a little wrong with the hosts file, or the apache config, or the custom nameservers.... Not quite sure exactly where the problem lies, although I'm guessing it's the setup of the ns pointer from the hosting company.

**Mstevo** · 06-09-2013, 06:16 PM

Google chrome couldn't find you again to-day

**Marshy** · 07-09-2013, 01:59 PM

We have moved hosts again (and hopefully for the last time!!)
It took a while for the dns change to propagate. Mstevo, you got the change before me!

**Little Mick** · 07-09-2013, 05:11 PM

fingers crossed Nick...

Hope you have it sorted

**senator8** · 19-09-2013, 01:04 PM

I've never had my signature work. Tried all different configurations, tried switching it on and off etc

**Marshy** · 19-09-2013, 02:01 PM

Seems to be working now.... (I didn't do anything)

**chubb** · 19-09-2013, 05:23 PM

Everything seems to work for me now

**KANGA** · 03-10-2013, 07:57 PM

Can't seem to be able to set an avatar. I've tried uploading and sourcing from an outside server but each time getting an "Unable to save image" error. Its with in the 80X80 px and under 19.5 KB. Using firefox.

**Marshy** · 03-10-2013, 08:43 PM

Sorry about that. I've hopefully fixed it now, so please let me know if it still doesn't work. Thanks!

Seems to be sorted

JC · 10-02-2014, 07:07 PM

Works for me.

Did you clear your browser cache, JC? You need to, to fix an earlier problem: http://www.tarmactalk.com/forum/show...ull=1#post7723

**James_** · 12-02-2014, 07:28 AM

Is there some bug in the forum?? For about a week now user "iua1ixsd9q0" is seen to be the last poster on almost every thread. Click on thread and there is no actual post made. Seems like a poor hacking job or some viral thing.

I have also some chinese characters rather than english in some threads. Same result on 3 different computers...one mac, on pc and my phone?

Anyone else??

**Marshy** · 12-02-2014, 07:52 AM

Yeah, it was a spammer. We've had two make it through the registration challenges this week, and they then flooded every thread, old and new, with advertising posts in japanese. No idea why, seeing as nobody can read them....

Anyhoo, we now require a moderator to approve new user registrations (only takes a few moments, and it's totally obvious who are genuine users and who are spammers), so we should hopefully not see a repeat of this crap. I'll look at restricting IP addresses again too, to just not have the site visible at all to most of asia and europe.

**Mr.Ed** · 12-02-2014, 12:32 PM

Most of us will check the forum more than a few times a day so a moderator should be easy as to find...

Also, I can't remember but is there captcha on the registration process?

**Phat3R** · 12-02-2014, 01:18 PM

Waz the spammer selling the red or blue pillz?

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

**senator8** · 08-12-2014, 10:50 AM

Anyone have any idea why this is happening. When I access the site on my iphone safari browser it usually looks like the first pic. Last couple days the right hand side which I use to see what's newly posted disappears after a second or two. The other forum which uses the same platform is still as normal.

Missing down the right

**Marshy** · 08-12-2014, 11:15 AM

Lemme try a reboot of the server. It's been a while.

**Marshy** · 08-12-2014, 11:22 AM

Rebooted. Seems faster. Let me know if it's resolved (or not).

**Marshy** · 08-12-2014, 11:27 AM

Doing some software updating in the background now too.

**senator8** · 08-12-2014, 12:45 PM

Cool Nick.
I just tried it, but still same.
Ipad no issue - as normal. I rebooted iphone just incase.
It's weird how it shows up for a second then disappears.

**Marshy** · 08-12-2014, 12:55 PM

Must be you, Rick

I've just tried my iphone, and it works fine. Have you shut down Safari by flicking it up, if you know what I mean?

Yep, probably agree

Yep tried that too. Could it be a iOS compatibility issue? I'm not running the latest 8 or 8.1 as I've only got a 4S. The other forum still showing up fine. Just minor inconvenience and mild anguish for my OCD.
