I was thinking of installing a TapaTalk plugin which would provide access to the forum via your mobile. You would need to install the app and there are the usual ads, would anyone find this useful ?

I tried TapaTalk on my phone a couple of years ago Steve, and found it next to useless. I can't remember why I found it useless though, and of course it's probably been improved by now.

Having said that, I just access the forum via the browser on my phone and tablet - no problem....

Thanks Steve, great job as usual.

I'm no Tapa Talk fan either.

What's the operating system equivalent of an XBR? Maybe we should convert to that? Answers on a post card to....  ;D

I wouldn't mind not using photobucket again. Is there any photo file size restriction with Tapatalk? I suppose it's down to the degree of advertising saturation and whether it gets in the way?

Aye SteveH,

Thank you for taking the time to update the site.

As for the Tapatalk?  ???  I just access the web on a desktop, the mobile is a phone and nowt else. So, as long as Tapatalk doesn't snarl up a perfectly serviceable forum or flood us with Trojans, I have no opinion.

Good health.

My regards, Bill

I'm no techno buff but as far as I can tell there is no photo file on tapa talk you just upload photo from your phone/iPad etc 's gallery. The only thing you need to do is choose the size/definition don't go big as this can cause problems.
All the best Mark

I succeeded in getting a photo on here after iansoady suggested using the photo editor app to adjust photo file size. It worked . Bit of a frig tho if I'm honest. In future if I feel the need I'll go via Facebook.  Photo issues aside this is a great site. Gents one and all. (Can't say gentlemen these days, not pc see)  ;D

Yes, thanks Steve for doing the techy stuff. Haven't a clue what tapatalk is. Just use a tablet, and my phone is just a phone  :-\

Yes I'm in the timbo camp, although I've just been very kindly given/upgraded with my phone by voda wotsit. Apparently I'm an extremely valued customer (only because I never shop round :)) so no my phone isn't just a phone now it's also the tardis apparently  ;) I only usually come on via my I pad and as far as photos are concerned.......that's easy...... I send them to Matt who very kindly pops them on for me. Couldn't be any easier📸
Thanks tho Steve for doing whatever it is you've done/doing without you folk the site in whatever format, probably wouldn't exist
Cheers, Michael

It's all good. I access this site via either my laptop (w7 pro), or ipad (whatever system Apple have given it) or my iphone (ditto op system), or my private phone (android) .   all work well... so no need for tapatalk..

thanks SteveH for all your efforts in keeping TC website healthy
