Any section I can try some testing Tapatalk post?

[DJ’s Timber]

Yes, I've tried all 4 mobile skins (the red & white, the inverted colour, the blue & white & the inverted colour).

I can view the new auction's thread menu, but when I click on a topic I get the network error message. I've tried clearing the tapatalk cache.

Neil is talking about the mobile skin via a browser such as Safari or Chrome not through TapaTalk.

Here's a couple is screenshots to show what he means.

Ok, problem was that I wasn't getting the mobile site on my iPhone, only the full site. I ended up clearing history & cookies. Now it's working.

I'm now getting the above look, but the pics aren't opening. Do you know if this is a setting I need to change?

I have checked your profile and there is no reason why the pics shouldn't show.
Make sure you are logged in or you will only see a few images.

To log in scroll to the bottom of the home page and you will find the login link just above the Copyright stuff.

Some people are not putting pics on to the Auction site properly and these are not coming up on mobiles.
Main culprits are those who just dump their pics in as thumbnails instead of inserting them into the post via the paperclip. Seem to be prevalent in the Timber sections but it's a bit across the board.

Attachment added below for you to see if it works. Tested and works for me.

Hope this is of some help.

Cheers - Neil

Strange, the test pic is fine.

Sorry to be difficult, it just used to be super easy to use tapatalk. In fact I don't actually remember the last time I've used the web site!

Thanks for ur help.

This is an example of my device not opening pics. Is this an example of what you mean?



When I press on the paper clip nothing happens, there's no hyperlink associated.

Also, using the mobile site, how can I view my subscribed topics? I've had a look, and unless I've got 'website blindness' I really can't find them!

Again, sorry. I know that the site is free and that you do a great job to keep it running, it's just increasingly frustrating when mobile access is difficult. If I waited to go to a desktop to view the site if never be on WWF (at least my questions would end!!)

Easiest response for the pic thing is that those pics were not properly inserted into the post. It appears that many are just being dumped into posts rather than being placed via the paperclip.

I have inserted a pics below via the paperclip and will insert another in a following post via the inline (bumped) method.

Same pic inserted via the dumped method.

Both will show on laptop or regular computer but not necessarily on an android device in either default mobile skin or Tapatalk.

[johnredl]

Ok. Can c them on tapatalk, will try mobile website now.

[johnredl]

Sorry, but I can't find this topic on the mobile site using my iPhone 5, with ios7 software. I have a huge listing of forums, which is great, can view pm's, my profile, etc...I just can't see my participated/subscribed topics!

[ubeaut]

As for the subscribed threads.

On my android device (Samsung - couple of years old now) very top right side of screen next to the address line (above the forum logo, etc) there is an icon that looks like 2 sheets of paper. Tap this and you should get a subscribe page.

You need to try tapping everything to find out how it works.

You using the paperclip won't do a thing. It is the person putting the photo(s) on who needs to place the pics on the page who needs to place them via the paparclip.

Nothing I can do about that other than go through every post and edit them all individually and that isn't going to happen.

To see one that's been done properly have a look at 8 Spokeshaves in the Auctions section or Stanly No 51 which I edited the pics in and let me know if they work for you.

Cheers

Here are a couple if screen shots.




The square box was navigated to by clicking on the icon next to the search icon.

As I said John "You need to try tapping everything to find out how it works."

Try clicking on the star next to New Thread or New Post. That should also bring up the subscribe page.
