[ADMIN] Important: Forum address change
« on: May 06, 2014, 04:06:25 pm »
The forum has changed from www.ecauldron.com/forum to ecauldron.com/forum (and all www.ecauldron.com addresses are being redirected to ecauldron.com automatically) to make the forum's Wordpress CMS main site work. This will mean the old www.ecauldron.com cookies will not work correctly meaning you need to log out of TC, close your browser and log back in (you will need to actually remember your password to do so) to reset things. if you do not do so, parts of the board (like replies) probably will not work for you.

Added 7 May: Tapatalk users will need to delete their saved account for the forum and relog in to get tapatalk to work again.

If you have any problems after doing the above, please post here and I will try to reply within 24 hours. Note: i will be annoyed if you report problems before following the instructions above as you will be wasting staff time.

Randall, does the address change affect Tapatalk at all? A couple of us in chat noticed just now that Tapatalk is no longer working. We're trying varying ways of "resetting" Tapatalk (like deleting the address or removing it from being 'saved' on our Tapatalk homescreen) but it's still bouncing back connecting errors. Mine just simply says that it "failed to connect to server". I'm using an Android device.

Aspiria reports this error message: "Error domain=tapatalk code=2203 the operation couldn't be completed" and while she can get through to a thread list page, she cannot click through to see posts. She is using an iOS device.

I have no idea and due to various emergencies here, I may not be able to check for a while (perhaps this weekend or even next week). Things are going wrong here faster than Lyric and I can keep up. Nothing major but they all eat up time we do not have with the remodeling to start next Monday. :(

Just adding that in addition to logging out, closing the app, and logging back in, I attempted to access another forum through Tapatalk, and it's working fine, which means that the issue is not likely to be Tapatalk itself. (I'm on Android 4.2 if that helps.)

That's completely understandable, Randall. We just thought it would be useful to let you know, just so you weren't wondering down the line why something wasn't working with the software, and this seems to be the most likely culprit (like Stephy said, other forums seem to be working ok)?

I hope things ease up on your end soon. :(

I am also unable to access TC via tapatalk, after trying everything I can think of to trouble shoot.

That said, I completely agree that your family is far more important than my tapatalk, Randall.  So please don't construe this post as pressure to fix the problem.  I'm only adding data, in case it's helpful.

For completeness of information: it's working fine on my iPhone.

Same here - it's working on my iPod touch, but not my Android phone. Which suggests that the problem is to do with the Android app specifically.

It's working fine on tapatalk on my Blackberry. Although last night it wasn't working but that's usual for the BB tapatalk app (which is completely rubbish but uses less battery than accessing TC on my phone browser) but it's working fine this morning.

I just deleted my saved account on tapatalk and restarted.  Now it's working fine

I suspect you would need to log out and log back in on Tapatalk just like with a browser as the forum address and therefore the cookies associated with the forum have changed. Deleting the saved account probably does that.

I just confirmed that this fixes the problem on my tablet (which I could not get to until Lyric got up) and added this info to the first post in the thread.

How odd - that was the first thing I tried yesterday, but it didn't work, but it works now. Ah well. Thanks for the tip!

Aspiria's issue was while on an iOS phone, so I don't think it was specifically Android?

I did not create a Tapatalk account (I only logged in after finding the Cauldron through the app) so I will have to see if I need to uninstall Tapatalk and re-install for it to refresh everything.

I don't have a tapatalk account either. On my Android 4.2 tablet, all I had to do was delete the stored TC saved entry, find TC again through the app and log in (to TC, not to tapatalk) for it to work again.
