FE-FC Holden Discussion Forum

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 ($2), 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.

cheers

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.

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

NES

May need some guidance on this.

Not a techno savvy as yourself.

Cheers

I we cross paths in Newcastle or Brisbane then i can set up for you. I'll find some time to show the process.
Cheers

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

Glad you find it useful.

RET

what? and do more work  ;D

Hey Craig here it is. Tapatalk at the App Store

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

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.

cheers

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

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.

cheers
RET

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

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....

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.

cheers

Little tip, I now run Tapatalk 2 on iphone but still have the original tapatalk for umm lesser forums? You can run multiple forums on the one app with a Tapatalk ID too.

Tapatalk 2 is now also free.

Sorry for being stupid   but a caveman has more skill than me with this modern technology  :D
 
I have just bought my first smart phone    Samsung Galaxy S4     (Cathy got the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini)

I am just figuring out how to make calls and send texts   ::) ::) ::)
(This thing seems to have a mind of it's own !)

What's an APP ?  How do I put one one my phone ? Do I do it by my desktop computer or by the phone (or both/either ?)

I've bought it now so I can practice because...
I want to do my Nats Travel Diary (with all the usual photos and story) by using my mobile phone so that I don't need to drag a laptop around the country in April.
Can I use Tapatalk to do this ?
The Tapatalk site doesn't mention Tapatalk2 ? Is this just an updated version with the same name ?

My apologies again
I need step by step instructions (with pics)
Then I can usually manage by myself (sometimes)

What is step 1  ?
 ??? ??? ???

Good choice of phone ! Basically a pocket computer .
Look for the play store app icon . It looks like a white handbag with a symbol in the middle . Create an account .. then download any apps you want . You do this on your phone via wifi or 3g when your roaming around town .

YouTube is your friend- look up how to videos on what you want or simply search for "how to use the dam thingy"
Although it is annoying watching idiot 15 year old phone masters tell YOU how to use it.
I bought my mum an iPhone 4 and ipad 3. She hangs at the apple store and has mastered it. Now when she is out grey nomadding with the caravan she shows everyone how to do stuff!
She did however just call and ask how to turn up the ring volume!!!

Muddled my way through to finding Tapatalk and the FE FC Holden Forum
when I tap on it...
it opens up on   Timeline 
if I tap on the word  Timeline(at top left of phone screen)   it takes me to a menu with           Join.  Timeline(highlighted). Browse.  Search.
I tap on   Browse   it gives me another menu with       General.  Technical Board.  Galleries.  For Sale, Wanted.
tap on    General
gives me a menu with        General Board.  FE FC Holden Nationals.  Events Shows etc.
tap on     General Board
gives me the General board topics
Tap on my Ho Ho Ho post  ( It calls me surferboyACE ?)
I can read  my post and the replies
This is about step 15 in MY way of doing things  :o ::)

How do I post stuff and reply etc


My phone screen doesn't look anything like the pics on your post Nes

I'm sure I'll get there eventually   ::) ::) ::)
but my 4 hour lunchbreak has finished and I've got to get back to work :(

Whoops !?

I'm trying to add a photo

My screen doesn't look like the last one on your post Nes

I can't see any symbol for camera / photo / twitter bird thing when I hit Reply
It gives me an option of quick reply or a plus sign in a circle for a normal reply but neither has camera/photo/twit symbols  ???

Now I'm going to be late for work (again  ::))

Might be different on the iPhone...

Looks like you got it just fine mate. Now wait till you figure out that it will ping you when someone quotes you or replies to subscribed threads (or be logged on to the EK forum at the same time)

AND you can also get rid of the GT 19505 signature as well!

Took this photo today on my new panasonic camera.
Used NFC thingy to transfer it to my samsung mobile
And now using tapatalk to post on the forum

Now how do I add my smiley faces here ?

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

When you are typing in tapatalk

right down the bottom left hand side of the key pad is a buttom "SYM"
Click on that and you will see a smiley face to the right of that click on that and you have a ton of icons..
😊😛😜😝😞😅😆👈👉👌👍👎💡☺☻☹👙
there not as big as the normal forum icons tho.

 ;)
pete

Kickin butt now surfer boy !

Although Pete you know that those icons only show up on phones :o
and look like squares on the old puter ::)

But we all know the last emoticon were bikinis right?

Those symbols do show up on any computer or phone that supports Emoji. But If you want the standard forum icons, you just have to type them, i.e. = :)

cheers RET

Well, isn't that ironic. BBCode doesn't work properly in Tapatalk. So if you're reading this with it, that last post was basically ; ) = ;)

Wouldn't that give you the

Give you the whats RET ??? I can't see the emoticon  :P
