I've updated the Tapatalk plugin to the latest version.
Appreciate the update but now my notifications aren't working at all on Android.

Same for me. I've got nothing now.

It's fine on iOS now though. Weird...
Please feed my addiction.

Yeah, no updates at all on Android. A few days ago they were hours behind, then it was just nothing at all.

It's working well for me in android as well.

Anyone having trouble should make sure you're running the latest Tapatalk client, by searching for it on the Play Store and comparing the name and version with your installed version. I've had to manually remove and reinstall the Tapatalk client at least twice, because they keep "reimagining" the app. Basically, they just abandon their previous Play store app, and create a new one, also named Tapatalk. There's no in-app notification of this in obsolete clients, so the only way you'd know is if you happened to get an email from them, or you manually search. It's extremely annoying to say the least.

The last time I let tapatalk upgrade itself it was awful, nothing worked right and everything was changed so I rolled back to the last stable version. I'm currently using version 4.9.5

The version I'm running is 5.3.6. It seems stable, and the notifications are working well. After the GH update to the latest plugin, I'm even getting notified of new posts in my subscribed forums. I don't think that feature was ever working for me in the past.

I guess I could give the new version a try it seems like they've tried to fix some things lately looking at recent feedback.

A lot has been fixed, but the notifications still aren't perfectly synced like before. Most of them show up, but a bit delayed.

The new Tapatalk is back to its old roots. They finally listened to their customers. I’d recommend giving out a go, Spam.

@rknize, thank you for the plug in update!

Well I updated.....I'm not convinced it feels so bloated and wastes so much space. I just don't like change. :eek:

ha ha ha .. well, it is the lesser of two evil. On iOS, it defaults to the system font, which is the new beautiful San Francisco font used in iOS 9. I can't complain when they are truly going towards the right direction, so I will bear with it. I still have the old Pro app, but that now looked seriously dated on a modern phone and iOS.

I made a tweak to the way notifications are pushed.  They are less fancy but may work better with older versions of Tapatalk.  lmk.

I updated to the new version of tapatalk today hoping it would help, and it did not. Maybe this new fix will help with that too. We'll see!

Edit: someone just quoted a post of mine and I was notified via Tapatalk. Order has been restored! Thank you!

I'm back to 4.9.5 I couldn't handle the new version.

Notifications are hit or miss. Thanks for trying @rkinze.

Do we have control over PM notifications? I always liked when it told me the Subject of the PM, in addition to the sender. It let me know if it was something mod related (and therefore more urgent) or personal. I always assumed that was a Tapatalk update that removed it, but maybe we could add it back? If others would be okay with it, of course.
