    So tapatalk recently updated for me. I'd seen a few complaining about it before it had happened to me, but I now feel your pain.

    Does anyone know how to start a new thread on Tapatalk now. I can't for the life of me figure it out.

    Before anyone says anything, I've started this one on my laptop.

    Nope. It's an awful update. Fortunately I hadn't synced my phone, so I just deleted it and synced the old version back from my laptop.

    Just downloaded an update, guess thats the one you're talking about as its all changed.

    Menu at the top right of the page when in a forum has a new topic button. Have to say its isn't very intuitive to use.

    You've only to look at the appstore review page, to see what an epic fail it is. Just delete and sync back to the old version, if you still can

    I have that menu, but not that option.

    Doesn't really matter, I don't start too many topics.

    This page. The new topic option only appears on that page so if you're on the page with the clock, lightning and star icons you won't find it.

    Ridiculously un user friendly.

    Annoys me that if there are a lot of unread threads it won't allow me to scroll beyond a certain point meaning there are threads I can't read without using my laptop.

    Right, cracked it. Turns out I have to go through the main menu then sub menu t view the forum rather than clicking the direct link on my Tapatalk home page.

    Cheers for your help.

    It's terrible, it's almost put me off using the forum as much, only almost mind.

    Sorry for pinching this thread but I can't start a new one either but I wanted to share this one heard on the radio.
    Did you know that on your car fuel gauge where there is the petrol pump sign that there is a little arrow which points to the which side of your car the petrol cap is on. I know that is useless info and nothing to do with owt but i thought I'd share it
