• 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.

OK got me this "new" Ipad (first one I've owned)....I want/need to set up so that I can sent one email to multiple recipients (group). Anyone done this...I use gmail as my email program...? Getting ready for my ryde aross America ... able to have group on my Mac Laptop...but purpose of ipad is to eliminate taking laptop....
Thank you for helping me thru this one.....:bowdown:
 
You can't add a group of recipients like you can on a full Mac. It really sucks. There are some clunky work arounds, none I like though. You can add multiple recipients. one. At. A. Time. but you can't just type the name of a group and send to the group like you could on a full computer.
 
I think I got this?:dontknow:

First send everyone you want in your "group" an email. Then go into the sent folder. Press and hold each email recipient and touch "Add to existing contact". And call that contact " Mo Gang " or whatever. Continue doing that on every email contact you want in that group. The next time you compose an email, you should be able to touch the blue plus sign on the "to" line and select your group. I'm sure there probably an easier way but in the quick 5 minutes I tried to figure this out, that's what I was able to figure out.

Hope this helps.
 
Easier way is to send an E-mail to your entire list, and include yourself. Then Reply All, and change the content.

BTW, you can charge our iPad with the iPod connection, and I managed to play music once… never leave home without it. I have a new iPad as well, upgraded from Version 1….

Like I said. Clunky work around. Easy to add people. Not so easy to remove.
 
Mailshot Pro

Actually, there is an app that handles this very well. It's called Mailshot Pro. I've been using it for some months and it works fine. Here's the link:

I tried it and didn't care much for it. I guess it's too much to ask for apples address book on the iPad to function identically to the one on OS X
there's an app called"groups" that does it. I think it is free. I use it on my phone to text my team all at once yo can email or text whole or partial groups
