    Hi all,

    It appears that I have a bit of an issue with Tapatalk, in as much as it is showing me as being online when I am not. Many thanks must go to @Gay Gardener for helping me work out that this is happening, and now that I am aware I will try and get it sorted.

    In the meantime, if you try to get hold of me when I am showing as being online, please don't be miffed if I don't get back to you straight away - - I might not actually be online, and promise I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can.

    Please also don't forget that I am a becoming a senile old git, so if I have forgotten something, or forgotten to come back to you about something, please let me know.

    Thanks
    FC

    PS - I will sticky this for a couple of weeks just to make sure it is seen.

      That makes things a bit awkward FC. We don't know now when we can say things about you we don't want you to see! :biggrin:

        I wonder if there is a time delay/lag. I know (from being on 2 other forums) that it says you are online for at least 20 - 30 mins after leaving.

          I've just checked that idea Rosebay. I'm on a computer and I logged out of GC then checked the members logged in box and my name wasn't there, so no delay. But it could be happening with FC's phone I suppose. :)

            I have a funny feeling that it is my phone, but not had a chance to research yet. I probably aren't helping by popping in now on my phone..

                I am hopefully part way to resolving some of the issues - our TiVo box has started losing channels and chucking error messages, so I posted for advice on VM's forum last night; one of their staff has got back to me today to tell me that they have tested our kit remotely and there is a problem with both the TiVo and the V+ box as well as the broadband looking flaky too, and they want to send an engineer.

                So, hopefully it won't be too long until the engineer arrives and maybe that will shed some light on some of my problems.

                  Hi FC,

                  Do you know if anything has been done about the logging in from a mobile yet (remember my problems with the captcha thingy wots it).

                  I must be showing up as been on 24 hrs a day every day ad I'm frightened to log out.

                  Our tech guru @Richard.r is aware that we have raised the issue, and I believe he has taken advice on the captcha problem - I believe that Google have recommended the one that is being used, but whether there is an actual fault with it or not, I have no idea.

                  Staying logged in is different to being shown as online - you can leave your account as logged in on the PC/phone you are using, switch the PC off and then the next time you switch it back on you will be logged in automatically/immediately; the time that you are not online though, you will be shown as online.

                  We have the engineer coming to ours on Sunday, and once that is sorted I will then take a look at my phone - I suspect the issue is a tapatalk one though, as my alerts through tapatalk do not seem to be clearing even once I have read them, and that is a relatively new issue that has only happened since their last update.

                  Not sure to be honest - have I been showing as online during the day on weekdays (0700-1500-ish)? I still think there is something funny going on with Tapatalk, as I get dozens of alerts again and again

                    Ah, now, the alert thing may not necessarily be your phone @fat controller, I've had some alerts doubling up over this last week or so and tagging has been haywire. Some I've found on posts that haven't turned up in alerts. I think it was @Lolimac that said she was having trouble with tags too.

                      When I'm actually on the site my alerts are coming through ok, though the timings a bit off, I just had an alert for 11:10 and it was actually only 11:05.
                      But, the alerts that come to my phone are taking about an hour to show up.
