using the forum

Post by **nazar** » Thu, 25 Oct 2012, 12:05

hi there, even though i have been a member for a while, i have really only just gotten involed in the forum - and i seem to come up with questions on occasion - so i thought i would post them in one place.

does this forum have tapatalk?? (this allows you to access the forum on a phone - did a search, couldn't find it)

is there a way of directly linking to a specific post in a thread (cause i can't see anything around a post that i can grab a link)

thanks

I'm not familiar with tapatalk, but if you access these forums on a mobile device, it defaults to a mobile-friendly format. You can override that if you want, there is a radio button that appears at the bottom of every page.

The little blue circle (starts off as a yellow star until read) to the left of the subject is a link to the topic; you can use your browser's right button to get a link to the post (use Copy Link Location or similar, not Copy Image Location or similar).

I have a post somewhere on uploading images and other issues, but I can't find it in the little time I have this morning.

ha ha, how did i miss that

no problem uploading images (i know how to do that)
and if you want to display an image on the net - i assume you just use the img tags

tapatalk is a great little app that maximizes the forum so you don't have to use much data (good for mobile devices)

i will check out what you said in the above post about using mobile to access - thanks

hey guys - never come across it before.
i have noticed a popup happening when someone replies to a thread that i subscribe.
the part that has me intreaged is that the pop up happens when i don't have the forum open (but i do have chrome open) - and i am not receiving email either.
is there a link i can read up about it?? as i am always curious (never come across it before for a forum
