• 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.

Picture Posting

When I click on the image icon it says choose picture from URL. What does that mean? I'm trying to post a picture from my iPhone.

Ok, I used my Iphone and when you click on the image icon a tiny little box comes up and I can't see it but if you click on the right side of that box it will ask you if you want to 1) Take Photo or Video or 2) Choose Existing which allows you to post from your camera roll. Now if you use the "Manage Attachments" option you then would hit "Add Files" then "Choose Files" which will bring you to the Take Photo or Choose Existing.

Good luck.
 
texting

If your browsing the forum on your phone or tablet you should really give Tapatalk a try. It makes the forums much easier to navigate and even easier to add pics.
 
I like the way BLUEKNIGHT911 does it. It's very easy; no complicated instructions required.


:D :agree:

I keep seeing a message about downloading Tapatalk pop up on the Missus' I-Pad when I "borrow" it... :D
Should I try talking her into allowing me to get it added to her Apple?
 
Don't bother....

:D :agree:

Bob,
Don't bother,
maybe unless you get the "pay" version.
I just downloaded it, and am not impressed.
You can't see all the different forums, I can't find the home page ......
Unless I'm doing something wrong, it doesn't appear to be for me.

This is on an Ipad2

Sorry, but it is you. Tapatalk makes it so much easier to browse the forums compared to the regular site.
Also makes it easy to check multiple forums from the same app, easier to upload pics, no ads, everything fits nicely on the screen, etc, etc.
