Motunation on the iPhone

Post by bayswater »

I get email notifications of posts in threads I'm following. Sometime these arrive when I'm away and have my iPhone handy. When I tap on the link to the new post I have to log in. If I have more than one notification I have to log in again for each one. I have selected remember me keep me logged in etc. This does not happen with my macs or iPads which are on the same iOS version as the iPhone.

What am I missing?

I stopped getting any notifications ages ago but I check in a lot so it doesn't matter. I just bookmark "unread messages" and check the PM link at the top. Never use Tapatalk either. Can't see sigs so what good is it in answering ?s where I need to know setups?

You could reset your notification pref to no me and save and then back to your prefs and that should reset it.

Yes, I gave up on Tapatalk too. It kept changing and I spent too much time figuring it out.

I have New Posts bookmarked on everything, and it works on everything including the iPhone. That's what I use most of the time. It's just curious that going to a message notification link works on everything except the iPhone. And it hasn't worked for 5 years.

Is there a link for Unread Messages that is different from New Posts?

Still using Tapatalk but I agree it's a big problem not seeing signatures. I'll have try bookmarking.

Tapatalk doesn't show signatures AFAIK. There's not anyway around that. Things aren't perfect I know and I'm not a programmer nor can I pay one. There's ONE banner ad and that wouldn't cover it and when ads started popping up on Tapatalk (unbeknownst to me) I immediately had users complain and say they'd ditch Tapatalk.

So guys, it sort of is what it is. :(

Is there anything you know of that I should check on my iPhone that would cause it to require login to Motunation for every message? I don't really care about Tapatalk. It sucks equally on all the other forums.

Nope. I don't. This the first I'd ever heard of it frankly. When I have time, I can try to check into it but given my schedule lately, I wouldn't hold my breath. Tapatalk, BTW, seems to work fine for me. Obviously, YMMV.

James, don't worry about it. I thought you might have come across it before.
