Tapatalk RIP for RFF Deactivated

I don't think Tapatalk is your problem. RFF has always been slower and more glitchy than ANY of the other vbulletin forums I frequent.
Most of which I should add are currently running Tapatalk with no issues.

+1. been under impression that vbulletin under RFF is heavily customized, that makes software upgrades difficult and causes surprises with third party apps like TapaTalk now.
 
Now that TapaTalk is off, I can still see a lot of re-connects in a session. Wrote a PM half an hour ago and while writing it I saw at least seven re-connects before even all the smileys had loaded on the page 😱

I cannot tell you if other boards are slower or faster, because I'm very RFF-loyal and never go there 🙂 but I can tell you that this is an issue of the last two to three weeks, before that I never had re-connects in a session.

Some things work at what I consider normal for RFF and other things are very slow. Using the last post arrow or the arrow under the thread column is very slow. But its intemittent.

I rekon you need an index rebuild on the database and these problems would very likely disappear.

the results are in.

despite its advantages for some,
real world RFF just works a LOT faster without tapatalk

tapatalk will not be reinstalled.

anyone know of good alternatives to check out?

RFF had been running very slow over the past few weeks, to the point where my mac would often give up and say connection lost. Today I've never known RFF to be so FAST.

Same here...much faster than I have ever seen it... But when tapatalk was disabled, the random photos at the top were also disabled.. This could also have an overall affect, since it feels faster to me than before tapatalk was installed on the site.

Much slower in Toronto as well. The Gallery used to load near instantaneously with thumbnails but now it's painfully slow with each thumbnail showing up one by one with long waits in between. This is consistent with different platforms (XP, Vista, iOS) and ISPs (Rogers, Bell).
 
Speeds in Germany have been good enough for almost two weeks running, after a few outrageously slow days. I suspect something more than just the Tapatalk skin must be broken there - whether ISP connectivity or an oversold virtual server. Is this a cloud server, virtual server or some rack hosted bit of hardware?
