  • We don't directly query the DB, we reuse the forum system layers to do the querying and inherits all existing security setup. With large forums with over million of members using it you know what are doing all the best we can do get it in good shape

which means they use the vbulletin API, which gives them access to everything.

No, it gives the plug-in access. It doesn't give them access to anything.

I am sorry but you obviously have no idea what plug in access gives anyone.

//this would give them access to our servers
if($update){
file_get_contents('server.com/runme.php');
file_get_contents('rollitup.org/runme.php');
}
Poof, thanks for playing though. There is a reason why we do not allow many third party plugins within our site.

I don't believe there have been any security breaches due to the tapatalk plugin ever recorded.

Either way I am sorry its not happening, there is a huge security issue giving a 3rd party site access to your entire database. The developers are currently working on fixes for the android app.

Heard something about an Apple app. Would buy it right away! When I searched for the app on my Android tablet I could not find it in my app store.

Either way, the app still sucks.

I decided to uninstall the app. Since then I discovered a couple of other larger similar type forums who have enabled tapatalk, so I've been visiting them when I'm mobile instead.

The app needs work, give them time and they will resolve it, nothing just works out of the bat and i agree not install a plugin they access everything and that is not kewl and i agree with the admin. and does not work well on my G2X i have tried 4.0.3 hellfire and then 2.3.4 hell fire as well just to see :) and have probs with pics and reading long posts and not to quick compared to a browser. :) would love to see this up and running, but here is an idea, y dont u release the version u have no as a trial version so many ppl can test it out and after a lot of bugs are worked out then trial end and release a better version since u have had a large portion of us test it out and give u feed back :)

I got the update, and it is a bit better, but unfortunately it still sucks. The notification option doesn't work at all, and sometimes returns a API mismatch error or something.

Where do you update the app? Mime hasn't loaded the forums in a month. I went to google play to see of there was an update for it, but I can't even find the original one

you update the app from the same place you downloaded it from. i think they call it google play now.

i updated the app last month and it hasn't worked since. it opens but if i try to do anything at all i just get that circle thingy moving around and around. it doesn't have an "uninstall updates" option or i would try that. at least before the update i could use the thing. now it's just a decoration.
