Tapatalk support for mobile users

[RET]

Forum users who have iOS phones or tablets (ie iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch), Android-based devices or a Blackberry, read on...

The FE-FC Forum is now available via the Tapatalk app, should you wish to use a native app for browsing the site. Of course, you're under no obligation to do so.

Several members have expressed an interest in this, since it is available on other forums.

Well this is a test from my iPhone 5 to see how effective it is. Looks user friendly too.
Thanks ret

Thanks Nes.

Tapatalk is $2.99 on the Apple App Store. Presumably similar on Android and Blackberry, but I haven't checked.

There is a free version called 'Tapatalk RO', but I didn't have much success installing that on my iPhone. YMMV.

This is a test with photo on my phone uploading direct to forum.
Ps it's VS air condenser that fits in front of VT V8 radiator.

[NES304]

On Computer now and it works. Worth the price for the app I think. Cuts down on using photo bucket uploading etc etc.

PS: Hold phone upright or it posts sideways. The option came up for quality of upload. I chose "best"

Now I can upload as I go. Thanks again RET

May need some guidance on this.

Another option worth a try would be to edit the photo on the phone first, and rotate it 90deg.

Glad you find it useful.

Hey Craig here it is. Tapatalk at the App Store



Search for fefcholden



Enter login



Choose where to go then at the bottom add comments



Click camera to take photo or photo to get one from your camera roll. Press upload then quality size then at the end press send at the top right

[NES304]

Tips - When searching for FEFCHOLDEN use the magnifying glass at the bottom and not scrolling through the list there.

Login is as per normal interweb

Photo upload orientation on an iPhone is up

You can also have it so that unread pops up first and when opening a topic to open at the most recent post so you don't have to scroll from the top every single time

Nice work, Nes. Thanks for posting those instructions.

Could somebody pls explain how to post photos via tapatalk"I have the IT skills of a caveman"thx Rummy

[RET]

Hey Rummy,

Have a look at the sceenshots Nes posted. The very last one shows the icon you click to select a photo from your phone's Library to upload it.

Thanks Ret,& Nes,had a better read of post & worked it out,app worth the money for posting photos alone.thanks again

[NES304]

Think I may have found a limiting factor in the use of this APP though. It limits the user to upload a max of 30 photos only....

[RET]

There's an in-app purchase for $2 to enable unlimited image hosting. (Apparently these images are hosted by tapatalk themselves, so this is an add-on to cover the hosting costs.)

There is also a photobucket app that you can use to do the uploading if you prefer to do it that way. For $2, the simplicity of tapatalk has a lot going for it, IMHO. It's in the 'Extras' menu at the bottom right of the start page for tapatalk.
