I can sympathize with a user who misses a great way to read his favourite forums and I can sympathize with a sysadmin who always has more work than he needs.

The trick is finding the right balance, user vs. sysadmin. I think is this case I would side with the users and move tapatalk higher up the priority list but this is not my forum and only my opinion.

+1, I personally don't use it, but also side with the users. As it is the users that make this place great, so keep them happy!!!

Hello,

Guys I am reading this thread from time to time. I have the following on my list which I believe is a bit more important than enabling Tapatalk.
-Re-enabled photopost and vbGallery (both are down after the site transfer due to code incompatability).
-Fix a utilization issue on hardware.
-A few other non-imminent issues but stuff I need to work on to get the site moving forward.

The PhotoPost thing is an outage for me. The utilization issue can potentially thrash the site (not likely but I see increase in alerts I'm getting). Tapatalk has a work around, however, by browsing the site using normal browser. I think the choice is clear to me.

I hear you titus. I can suggest for the hardware side you might want to investigate virtual server with a reputable host. We have about 30 Windows and linux VM and love it. Need to add another NIC or increase RAM it only requires a reboot. Recovery is awesome, pooch an install you can do a full OS, SQL and data recovery with a couple of clicks and be back up and running in minutes rather than hours.

I would recommend any sysadmin look at hosted VM solution for their next server.

Any update on this ?

Hello,

Sorry had to do a sudden trip to London for a month and a half. Will continue when I'm done on the trip. In any event, I'm keen to close this out by end of year.
