• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Forum Posting - what do you use to navigate this site? Tapatalk, or what?

Just curious what you guys do to navigate this site from your phones? I tried Tapatalk but can’t find the spyderlovers forums on there. It doesn’t seem to come up in searches

Tapatalk became increasingly expensive & difficult for the Forum keep using, so it was dropped quite a few years ago now! :rolleyes:

Most phone users that I know of, myself included, simply use their standard phone internet browser or as Pete's mentioned above, one of the alternative browsers like Safari, FireFox, etc. There might be a few compromises that you need to make, but I can do pretty near everything that I ever need to do as a Moderator here on my Samsung phone, so I doubt there'd be too many issues for any non-moderator Registered Members... :thumbup:
 
Cell phones don't work where I live.

If I gotta be close to the WIFI anyway, might as well use a laptop.
 
I use Chrome as my cell phone browser. But between my old eyes and fat fingers using my cell phone on this site it more trouble than it's worth. So I use either my desktop or laptop exclusively.
 
Usually Tapatalk on a Fire 10 tablet for most forums, but Chrome browser for this and other forums that don't support Tapatalk. Sometimes Firefox on the laptop. I primarily use the phone...... to talk to people!

I'm guilty of being old fashion I guess because I know where I'm going and how to get there before I leave. I do stop on occasion to confirm that I'm on the right path.
 
RE: Atlas...we also used a Rand McNally on our trip from Alaska down to Arkansas. I bought a new Garmin for the occasion, but that took us off course twice. It was nice to have the map for back up. I still have the Garmin, but also use the Rand McNally today. :bowdown:

Sorry...UNHIJACK

Guys and Gals, DaniBoy is asking how you “NAVIGATE THIS SITE” from your phone. He is not asking for advice on what navigation hardware/apps you are using to get from point A to point B. :spyder:

Forum Navigation

:coffee:...I have and still do use 'Chrome'.
So Chrome.......for Spyder Forum.

Land Navigation......I have a GPS and a Rand McNally road trip maps.

Simply amazing how many people can't understand paper maps. I guess it is a lost art.

Stay Healthy. ....:thumbup:

I can understand paper maps just fine, Little Blue……but I find they blow across my visor when I’m riding, making riding “difficult”. :joke:
