After three years of successfully accessing this forum using Tapatalk, yesterday I started to get problems logging in.  First I received an "Are you xxx with email address yyy?" message, but thereafter I received a pageful of undecoded HTML every time I attempted to log in.  Thinking that there might be a password problem, I told the forum that I had "forgotten" my password (via a browser, as the Tapatalk password reminder mechanism failed) so that a new password could be allocated.  This done I can successfully log into the forum from a browser, but Tapatalk gives me the message:

 

Log In Failed

The operation couldn't be completed (Forum SSO error 2)

 

Thinking that this might be a problem with older software on my iPad (running iOS 9) I tried to access the forum from my iPhone (running the latest iOS 11).  Both behaved identically.

 

Any ideas?

 

Many thanks in advance,

Ian.

Sorry folks – my fault, I didn't keep you up-to-date.

The GDPR, especially the German flavor DSGVO (Datenschutzgrundverordnung), keeps my busy (and is driving my crazy).
So I forgot to inform you here...

Long story short:
New privacy regulations go active on May 25th, relevant for everything related to processing of personal data.
This is what I do here with your email addresses etc. so this is very relevant for all of my forums.
Fines go up to 20 mio Euro...

I have to make sure that your personal data are protected from unauthorized access, for example by signing contracts with companies like my hosting provider.

Tapatalk had far-reaching access to the forum database but…
- doesn't offer such a contract
- is not compliant to EU privacy norms
… and wasn't very open to questions (to say the least)

Thus I'm running an immense risk if I continue to run Tapatalk.
I'm planning the update to a new forum version which brings much better support for mobile access but I can't promise an exact date.

Again: Sorry for the late information but this is an existential risk for me.

Andreas,

 

Many thanks for the information.  I should have realised that the problems might be related to GDPR...  :)

 

I'll access the forum via a browser in the meantime, but an iPad-friendly mechanism in the future would be very much appreciated.

 

All the best,

 

Ian.

Seems like Tapatalk have solved the GDPR issues.

 

I am using the mobile browser interface for once now to access this forum. But IMHO it is pretty awkward compared to the Tapatalk app.

 

I hope this will be solved at some point. Until then I go back to "Winterschlaf". Fortunately there still is another similar forum which does support Tapatalk, so it's not a cold turkey experience.

OK CHROME easy access....automatically with my user name; like now

 

NOT OK: WINDOWS EXPLORER access denied; site requesting EMAIL /  Password; account not known.

 

Prefer to use WINDOWS EXPLORER with Trusteer Protection anti-virus included.

Sorry no news and – sorry again – I'm not going to install Tapatalk again.

I had so much trouble with the Tapatalk guys, thus I have no more trust in this company that I open access to our database with a lot of sensible data.

I know that some of you will be really annoyed, but I prefer to be clear in this matter.

    • Hey everyone, I am new to the fujifilm system, and I just received my X100vi about 15 days ago, and yesterday I noticed that ISO and exposure dials are acting up. I spent hours watching YouTube videos and reading forms without finding any solutions. Using ChatGPT or Gemini also didn’t help. My issues are the following: If I want to set my ISO at a specific value then the camera LCD/EVF shows a totally different value. For example, I have shutter manual, aperture manual and ISO dial at 6400, the camera shows ISO at 4000, when I take pictures it will show ISO at 4000 and not 6400. When I try to choose another ISO value it will skip some of the available values that are shown on the dial. Another issue I am having is when my exposure dial is not set at specific value, then I cannot set ISO to Auto no matter what value I select on the dial. If I do select the different exposure compensation values, then I choose A for ISO, the camera will activate the front commend dial to manually change ISO values. To get in Auto ISO, the shutter speed cannot be set in auto and the ISO dial should be set at 125, when I turn the ISO wheel, it seems like the numbers are misaligned by one value, If I put the dial on A with shutter speed manual, then it will trigger the front commend dial. The other issue that I am having is when I have Aperture, shutter speed and ISO on manual, If I change the exposure dial compensation + or - , it actually changes the exposure of the picture as well as the ISO value, which as I understand, if Camera is in full manual, the exposure dial should do nothing. The last issue that I am having, if I do have ISO in manual at a set value, and adjust exposure compensation dial, it alters my ISO instead of my shutter speed or my aperture, even though ISO is in Manual and the other two dials are in Automatic. I am not really sure if all of this is by design and I am just not understanding how everything works together, but it seems really odd how everything changes. Resetting the camera settings didn’t help. 
    • I also have the eaxct problem with my X-T5. The remote used to work, but not anymore. I also get the light coming on on the camera back, and autofocus will happen, but no shutter release. Since I use the 2 or 10 seconds timer more I don't know if a firmware update is the cause of this negative change. I actualley only use the wired jack-remote for action release on a tripod.  Did anybody find a cause, and even more assisting, a solution?
    • I have the same issue. Have you found the the solution?

    • On my XPro 2 the rear command dial, when pressed, can cycle through 3 different magnification levels in the OVF.
