Lucas mate, had that issue before with crappa talk, simple, your obviously on some sort of smart arse phone. Close the crappa app and close all the other apps you have been using,, you have to many apps open running in the background, on iPhone they are down the bottom, double click the home button and close them all by pressing on one of them till they show - on them and close them all by pressing the -
Re-open crappa talk, it will load and dissapear then re-open again and all good. If you understand all that. Cheers mate

Had no issues with tap talk at all

I think your IP has a lot to do with it as well, my tappa crappa gets hammered as well as all other apps, too many open is no good for loading speeds.

I don't have any apps running! Well, about 2. And have not bought or used any since tappa stopped. I'll try to reinstall tappa when I get a chance. Cheers for the help:-)

Bugga, never had to reinstall any app unless I deleted it. Have you tried just rebooting the phone,

Just reinstalled tappa, all seems to be working now.

G'day

Seems there is some unrest about google's privacy policy, so I thought I'd look for alternatives. duckduckgo seemed interesting, so I've gone for that, and while at it, decided to look for alternatives to IE 9.

I went for Mo2illa Firefox.

Still learning how to use both and my first question is how to make duckduckgo the default search engine rather than......................google, which somehow is currently the default

Thanks

Rick

got to internet options and type in duckduckgo.com replacing the google web name and save it

Thanks oncedisturbed. I couldn't initially recognise a tool bar on Firefox - too long indoctrinated by Microsoft I guess :-) I can't see anything that looks like internet options.

Armed with your advice, I went looking again, and found something in the 'Add Ons' section, that let me add duckduckgo in a version called SSL to the Search function - which in turn is starting to give me at least one option up where the tool bar would be in IE etc - it added duckduckgo to the foot of half a do2en other search options. After I selected the SSL version, the system decided to show me a couple of other versions of duckduckgo including HTML from memory...anyway I'll persist as it is.

I'll keep looking for 'internet options' as well.

Thanks!
