Can TAPAS FORUMS be accessed on mobile devices?

[isaacjmendez]

Hey guys! My PC broke! I thought I won't be able to continue with my manga but thankfully I found an alternative. Which brings to my question. All I had was phone a couple of days back. I downloaded the app but it doesn't give me the option to access the forums. Any tips guys? Thanks in advance! Missed tapas family!

I don't think so. I was stuck at an airport for hours last week and couldn't get on.

Which is a shame because reading forum posts is a great way to kill time / procrastinate.

It's much available on the phone! You might not be able to log in (I know I can't, it only takes me to the app and says they found nothing) but you can at least read the forum posts.

It's available in the internet app/browser on the phone, accessible via forums.tapas.io

Not through the app, no, but as Chopythes said, you can certainly access them using a browser on a phone just like you would on a computer.

Use m.tapas.io that's what I use if I want to check the forums on my phone.

Tapas should update its forum layout in general. Also impossible to use on w3m.

[isaacjmendez]

I thought so..yeah that's what I'm aiming at as well. Thanks!

[isaacjmendez]

yeah the same thing happened to me! I can read forums but unable to login to my forums account

[isaacjmendez]

I will. Thanks! But I just hope I can log in to my tapas forums profile

I always check the forums on my phone, you will be able to log in as well. You are accessing the exact same site after all. The layout might not be great for a small screen, but it'll do!

I'm completely unable to access the forums on my android. Could be a different thing for iPhone users?
(it only takes me to the app and says there's nothing there, which is a bummer!)

Clear the cookies on your phone's browser then re-login.

[Chopythes]

I've tried that, it still re-directs me to the app and the app then tells me there's nothing there.
Thanks for the tip tho! I didn't know you could do that.

I am an android user as well. Can you try using the old url forums.tapastic.com?

Or go to the main site and look for the "Desktop version" button and move to the forum that way? It shouldn't force you to go to the app if you are using a web browser to access a site.

[Chopythes]

No, it re-directs me to the new URL.

And the desktop version ALSO re-directs me to the app.
The login-button is what re-directs me, no matter which version of the browser I'm using D:
(Edit: To clarify, I followed your steps, I'm on Samsung S6, used both Internet and Chrome to access. I've tried inkognito as well, but it claims that the site it requesting too much and therefore isn't able to handle my request)

[tayo_rafferty]

@Chopythes Which browser are you using? Sometimes the chrome browser has issues with tapas on mobile. I have a samsung and I use their built in browser when visiting tapas (nowadays). Try to find the phone's built in browser or use a different browser app like Opera Mini or something.

[ratique]

Man, how frustrating! I wish I was more tech savvy and could come up with more possible solutions.

Hopefully some of the other users figure something out!

[Chopythes]

It doesn't seem to matter which browser I use, it still re-directs me to the app and that's the problem.

The app can't find it or it's a connection problem (doubt that, I'm on 100/100, the fastest internet connection I can get) so I don't think there's much to be done, unfortunately. Not in my case, but others might be able to get help from this!

@ratique yeah, same here! I've appreciated all the help I've gotten so far, but man, I'm almost starting to believe I might have to uninstall the app, and THEN press login.
Which... I don't really want to do xD
