content: Quote from: microbug on February 28, 2014, 03:57:23 pmSame thing here. Occasionally it says EEVBlog has not updated its Taptalk software, and other times it works. Seemed too hit or miss to me, so I have not been using it recently.

content: To clarify. The few times I got that out of date message, I was not able to access the forum. But then later logged on fine. Still, disconcerting because it lowers confidence that it is presenting everything properly.

The default is #2. I've just selected #1.
