Funny things happening on backup Tapatalk forum
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 12:03 pm
Got an email today saying a new user "NickCaputo" had joined the backup forum on Tapatalk. Is that anyone here? He has a fishy email address.
I never got an email asking me to authorize a new user, as I have the board configured, so I deactivated his account.
So when I checked in this morning I found a donation banner on the top of the forum(not sure if that's a hack or something Tapatalk does) and I found I couldn't log in as my user. Account didn't exist. I had to log into the old Forumer forum account and initiate a new transfer to a Tapatalk ID (I had already done this years ago) and then I could login as myself and admin.
So just in case, if you go to the backup forum, and there's a donation banner at the top, do not click on it. It's not me, and I have no idea where the money would go. I closed it but I'm not sure if it only closed for me.
I sent them a support request complaining about the donation banner.
The forum is here:

If you're login doesn't work and says your user doesn't exist, you may need to click the link to log into your Forumer account like I did (and if you don't know the password you can ask for a reset) and then transition to a Tapatalk ID. You can use the same one you had before.
I don't think we'll ever need the backup forum again, but who knows?

I did have to take a few weeks off last month for my knee.
