It's been converted into Tapatalk! How the hell do I undo that?!? I can't do squat on Tapatalk!

You can't. All migrations are final. The ZB Support Board has also gone into its Tapatalk mode.
I tried to warn you in the other thread, but you wouldn't listen. ALL ZetaBoards boards will be switched over to their platform. The ZB staff has also decided NOT to carry over. The inactive boards will not be converted and the ZB servers will eventually be shut down with a given timeline for forum owners who haven't been following the latest events to eventually restore their boards on Tapatalk.
My advice is: go to Jcink. It's your only shot at actually doing at least SOMETHING with your board. It's not ZetaBoards, but it's something, at least.
Next time, just listen or better: inform yourself if your chosen host is closing its doors or if it has been bought out by some other forum host. It will keep the hair on your head.

I post regularly on my Power Rangers & Yu-Gi-Oh Forums. Almost weekly.
Why does Tapatalk have to exist?!? Not everybody accesses everything through their phones. I prefer my computer! In fact, I RARELY access Facebook through my phone.

You'll just have to accept that the era of free forums is nearly over. Even I am having trouble accepting that fact. Jcink and a couple of others are still hanging in there, but TT is strong and it's just a matter of time before TT buys every single free forum host out there. They are here and there's nothing we can do about it.

I will stick with Jcink. I just hope I can get the hang of the themes and layout coding. I am growing desperate for a dark skin with a side bar for the forum I am working on.

The thing is how this whole situation with Tapatalk is developing, they will eventually end up buying every free forum host that still hasn't closed shop. The free forum hosting business is just not financially profitable anymore, especially without a vast amount of free forums displaying a certain amount of ads and ad banners. Let alone the huge amount of people needed to support both. Many free forum users were using ad blockers and maybe even encouraging their members to use ad blockers so ads and ad banners would not display for them. That's just exactly what free forums hosts can live off. The only forum platforms that have the slightest chance to survive are those like IP. Board and vBulletin who possess paid could hosting for themselves.
What I'm saying is if Tapatalk continues growing at the rate it's growing with, even licensed forum platforms will have to eventually come up with a free version of their software to offer to those that can't afford the licenses for their products. I'm happy for John because he has ignored the e-mails messages from Tapatalk and has opted not to sell. However, even he will have to eventually come up with a more competitive solution in order to be able to compete with Tapatalk. John will eventually have to accept the fact that even his own modified version of IPB 1.3 eventually won't be sufficient to keep his forum service afloat. He will either have to start offering his own versions of other free forum solutions or come up with a more modern forum software. Jcink as a free service needs a serious service upgrade even now. I truly hope that John manages to keep Jcink online at least in some form.

Considering I still can't figure out this newer version of Proboards, I'd say they have just as much to lose as Jcink. Its still possible for Jcink to upgrade at some point in the future so I wouldn't count them out yet. They already do have paid hosting as well so their is still a chance for them to hang in there.

I've been posting stuff in nearly every section at PUAO. So feel free to join. I also need some Mods. But like on shows like Power Rangers, you must prove yourself worthy!

My forum is still around. Come on by and post. But you have to join if you want to post. I've had serious problems with people posting while unregistered in the past. One such individual saw everybody, including forum administrators, as being so far beneath him that he saw himself as a god. As a result, he felt he could boss admins around and they'd do as he commanded. Especially when it came to changing character names because he didn't like it, and felt that Sesame Street owned the rights to any human character names, and delete threads because he didn't like them. He went as far as making death threats to get his way. But he's been inactive for over ten years.

Don't forget that PUAO is open for business. I've been creating various discussion threads. Just don't start new threads with "This Is The Official...Discussion Thread". Someone did that a lot on the old PUAO and it made him look like HE was the boss when he wasn't. powersunitedasone.freeforums.net/

If anyone wants to be a Moderator of specific sections, you must prove yourself worthy. I don't tolerate people demanding to be promoted because it proves that they have no respect for the admins.
