Help. I seem to be asking for lots of it. I just went to Tapatalk to post a photo and couldn't load the forum. Has anyone successfully done this ?

Hello

cookie1 (and the rest) I will try to solve that, although it would be great if we could not use taptalk.

Can you tell me what are the big issues for updating photos for me to see if it is possible to make an easier way?

If this is not possible I will try to update tap.

Thanks

its usually the size of the photo that is the problem. One method is to send yourself a photo in an email, and where it says BCC choose small or medium size. When you get the email you save a copy of the photo to your album and then thats the one you use on the forum. It is very fiddly though and to post one photo can set you back 10 mins. The best outcome would be to just upload a photo as you do when you are on Facebook.

Tapatalk is also easier for using the forum on an iphone / ipad IMO. I am a member of two other forums - one uses Tapatalk and the other doesn't. The tapatalk one I can access any time of the day on my phone whereas the non-using one I only access either via a computer or in the evenings on my ipad.

Tapatalk is just an easier platform for phones.

Thanks for checking in Admin. If we could just upload photos like facebook that would be great.
Before the new forum I would go to Tapatalk and could upload photos by simply clicking on an icon. You could click an icon to take and load the photo or click a different icon and use a photo from your photo stream. I use an iPad for all this.

I used to have to hook up my camera and I won't be doing that as I like to do it all on my iPad.
Mr Admin it would be great if we could just tap or click on an icon. Thanks.

I am another person who uses my iPad to access the forum most of the time and use Tapatalk to upload photos and insert links. I can no longer remember how to post a photo any other way.

Can you please check if tap is working. Thanks

I just loaded Tapatalk to my iPad.  How do I get rid of threads I don't want?  And how to I add this forum to it?  Sorry to sound so dumb.  I really want to be able to follow this forum but I find the type hard to read and the ads taking up 1/3 of the right hand side of the page don't help either.

Lol no, I should have though :) I shaved it the day after a conference I was recently at finished, weird mental symbolic thing.

.......   I really want to be able to follow this forum but I find the type hard to read and the ads taking up 1/3 of the right hand side of the page don't help either.

I've come on today - hello everyone -  and found I can hardly read the posts, or read as I type a reply like now as it is so small. The contrast is too vague, the White background needs stronger print colour and  larger font.

I find the adverts too intrusive and distracting and I understand the revenue is vital to keep this going.

I don't want to be negative when clearly a lot of work has gone in to the new site and  yet I feel I should say something.

I loved the forum and used it so often for recipes... I find I am struggling already and I've only been on twice today.

Am I the only one to be struggling? I felt better when I saw ElsieD's post.
I used to belong to another forum ages ago and it didn't survive a radical makeover, please don't let this happen to this special place.
Thanks and hope you can make it more user friendly.

I posted the same question I posted below to another thread and someone suggested I download Tapatalk and get the posts through that.  I did this and it is now very easy to read and no ads.   I have only just done this so I don't know if I can use the search engine through Tapatalk, I need to fiddle around with it to see.  Please do try Tapatalk, you will be very pleasantly surprised.

ElsieD in tapatalk on the homepage top right hand side is a drop down bar the search and messages are there. I love tapatalk and hardly ever use the forum online. Might if I could remember my login. Lol

Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!  I thank you and my eyes thank you.  It looks like the search capability has improved.  Mind you, that was just in the one search I did to try it out.  This is a fabulous forum, even better now that I can read it!

Post by: Bootobethin on April 04, 2015, 04:57:47 am
Yes I agree really the only way to use the forum is via tapatalk.
I tried web based forum again as Tapatalk is not my preference.
I am disappointed with the new forum unfortunately.
The search function still does not find threads or recipes easily.
The buttons are really hard to see as they blend into the background.
It is difficult to use recipes from the screen due to the contrast issues.
I am really sorry to be a bit negative but this is such a great resource and community it would be sad if new members didn't find it easy to use or that oldies didn't persist and contribute.
I have persisted for a few days but am really disappointed
I hope things can be ironed out a bit..

I use tapatalk but don't get any ads at all. Are you using the free version or the paid one? I use tapatalk pro.
Thank you for reinstating tapatalk. I tried looking online the other day and struggled with the layout too.

It is the size of the print that is getting me down. I know I can increase the iPad screen size but I like to see it all at once. Another thing I have had great difficulty in seeing is when people use a word to do a link. The word comes up as being light blue and I tend to miss it on the iPad.

I agree Cookie the size of the print is so small and light it is so hard to read
