Be good if it was more phone friendly considering how many people use their phones for web surfing these days. I downloaded the tapatalk app and I hate it.

Also, how to post photos & videos?
Sorry I'm one of those people that never reads instruction manuals. Just dive straight in head first   

And...Can we get this gif added? I think it'll be a worthy addition  https://goo.gl/images/fgzUsy

I cannot answer about the phone stuff as I hate using phone for these...you can't see shit from that small screen and writing is like trying to shove telephone poles under your fingernails...

As for attaching pictures, check out the attachment, use the button circled in yellow.

As for videos, use the button circled in red.

Got the GIF, its code is buhbye.



As for phone-friendly... hmmm... if there's a better moblie forum app than Tapatalk, let's have a look at it. I'm always up for improving the user experience.

You can also get images into a post with the img BBCode. Both youtube and yt work as BBCodes for video. Code would be typed as below:

Code: [Select]

New gif: :buhbye:
Image: [img]URL-of-image[/img]
Youtube vid: [yt]URL-of-video[/yt] or with youtube instead of yt

Looking over apps for reading forums, not seeing any that have both good reviews and low numbers of tech complaints... not easy to see any we would want to test with.

Okay...I might install tapatalk just to test it out...

If you want to change your display name, work with an admin or mod on that. It was allowed before, but only because we didn't think to turn it off. Nothing against anyone that changed a display name up to now, but just let us know if you need/want to change it again.

The board sometimes tends to lag and/or freeze while I try to post. Does this occur for anyone else?

[Charger]

Yes it happens sometimes. Not too often though.

[Scott]

Lucky. It's happening quite frequently, for me.

[Charger]

Ah...unfortunate. What browser are you using?

[Scott]

Google Chrome.

I'm sorry to learn about your issues with the forums Scott (and by the way, welcome!).

A couple of more questions if you don't mind:

1. What operating system are you running?

2. Are you using any plug-ins with Chrome?

Just as another data point, I haven't experienced any issues in that regard, but I'm running Vivaldi.
