What I meant was I rarely receive an email I just looked at my ipad and everything is bookmarked but I still need to look at my PC and try to figure it out!

How's it going, foxie? Did you figure out the problem?

[ADMIN]

The emoticon that "faints" and goes -THUD- disappeared, but I think I found and installed something very similar.



While looking for that, I found a few new/cute ones and added them too.

         

I thought a couple of them might come in handy when Hugh's show opens.
Should we keep them? Any other suggestions?

[njr]

Sure,keep them! The new *THUD* one looks even better than the old one !

I hope I don't look like this in all of the 90 minutes of THE RIVER

Thanks for the new ones, Valerie!

The configuration has changed a bit since our "upgrade" - see photo below for how it looks now.

Pictures: You cannot post a photo in a "Quick Reply" message. You have to click the REPLY button at the top/bottom of the thread where you want to respond.

Add Tags:> 4th icon/second row - looks like a picture/postcard

When you click on it, it will produce "image tags" in the Message box.
(img)put the URL for your photo between the tags(img)

The img tags will have [brackets] instead of (parentheses) - but it won't show up in my post if I leave the brackets - because it's looking for an image not text.

You cannot post a photo from your computer until it is uploaded and accessible on the Internet - usually through a photo sharing/storage site like PhotoBucket. You need to open a FREE account and upload your pictures to your personal album on the website. (Instructions there are pretty simple. If you need more help with that, let me know.)

To post a photo in your message here, go to the second row of icons (just above the smiley faces) and click the *picture* icon (fourth from the left).

(img)(/img) Will appear in the Message box on your screen in [brackets] not (parentheses).

Copy the URL of your photo and place it between the tags.
(img)URL FOR PHOTO GOES HERE(/img)

If you see a photo on another website and would like to share it here, right click directly ON the picture and select "Copy Image Location" - paste that between the tags and the photo will be shared here as well. Please remember that this method does not give you any control over the photo. If it is a news site and they "wipe" their gallery each week, the photo will disappear here as soon as they delete it from their website.

1. Install it again, just like you did on your previous device.
2. Talk to the people who sold you the iPad.
I do not have an iPad, so I cannot speak from experience on how to use it with this forum. Members who access this forum via iPad are encouraged to comment on this question.

If you use the "HELP" function - at the bottom of the banner at the top of the page, you can find some useful information - about all things pertaining to ProBoards in general. This is what I found when I searched "ProBoards Mobile App" for you. I have connected all the applicable links to this post; they are "live" and should open when you click them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What app can I download on my mobile device to visit my forum? And where can I get it?

- Currently the free Tapatalk application is supported and recommended. Below are some links where you can get the app:

| Apple iOS | Android | Windows Phone 8 | Windows 8.1 | (Click your OS)


I have the Tapatalk app installed, but cannot find my forum. How can I get it to display?

- In order for your forum to appear in the search results for the Taptalk app, you'll have to add your forum to the Tapatalk forum directory.

ProBoards forums can be added to the Tapatalk directory via this link.

Forums.net forums can be added to the Tapatalk directory via this link.

- If you do not wish to publicly include your forum in the Tapatalk directory, on the directory registration page with Tapatalk click the "Incognito?" option found toward the bottom of the submission page. By submitting your directory entry as Incognito, your forum will not be recommended by Tapatalk to other Tapatalk users, it will not appear in the public directory, and your members will need to enter full domain name to look up your forum from the Tapatalk app.

I'm using the ProBoards branded application on Android, and I'm taken to a forum called "The Jungle" when adding my forum. Help?

- To add your forum to the ProBoards branded application on Android, follow these steps:

1. Launch the app on your phone.
2. Press on the "Me" tab at the top of the screen (if you're not already there).
3. Press on the "Add Forum" button found at the bottom of the screen.
4. In the screen that comes up next, type in the URL of your forum in the box provided (ie: support.boards.net)
5. Once that's typed in, then select the second radio button listed below the box where you typed in the URL of the forum.
6. Press the OK button and you will be brought to the forum.

There is a known issue where if you do step 5 before step 4, you will be taken to "The Jungle" forum rather than the forum you were actually wanting to visit.


I have the ProBoards branded application and have encountered some bugs. Can you help?

- The ProBoards branded application will no longer receive updates. While the ProBoards branded app will still mostly function for the foreseeable future, we encourage anyone experiencing issues with the ProBoards application to download the free Tapatalk app from your devices app marketplace.


My forum is ad-free, but I see ads in Tapatalk. Why?

- The ads you see in the Tapatalk app are provided by Tapatalk and are not linked to your forum. Ad-free from ProBoards will only work on the desktop and mobile web version of your forum; not for the Tapatalk app as ProBoards does not develop the app.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let me know if that works for you. Again - Members who access this forum via iPad are encouraged to comment on this question.

Did you read my post above? - Particularly the part in BIG BOLD letters that says:

ProBoards forums can be added to the Tapatalk directory via this link.

[foxie]

If you'd be more specific about "all kinds of stuff" I might be able to help you better.
Are you sure you are using the correct name when you look for our Forum?

[foxie]

Yes I will write everything down later thanx

[foxie]

Tried again ridiculous I thought maybe it would recognize my iPhone but no I enterred all the info. Ugh

[jo]

Hi Valerie

Just wanted to say THANKS again for how you have organized this forum! I was doing some backtracking on some earlier posts ( relative to a current topic) and it proved so easy to navigate and find some of the stuff I needed! Sometimes, backtracking makes a current post even more relevant and easy to relate to past events or discussions!


Cheers!

I noticed we lost quite a few "Smilys" and I have been looking for replacements. I finally decided the search was futile and just deleted the links/names. I have installed some new/different emoticons. If there is something specific that you miss/want, please let me know.

The source I was using simply disappeared. ~sigh~ it's not fair


Roses on piano I really like this one.

[jo]

Thanks, Valerie

Will look them over.

EDIT : Great to see Wolverine back -- missed him most

Jo

[jo]

Once more - you did great with the new set of emojis, Valerie!

I am glad that Wolverine still has a place in our hearts

Valerie,

In the last few days, I have not been able to copy and paste images taken from other sites. Is this just me on my laptop or is it for this site, too? Or is that a general problem now?

I had a recent Windows update ( which initially caused some problems ...but more on display, etc., features). I had tried to resolve the problems I encountered...but now it seems it is Windows itself which helped solve the problems that emerged.

Sorry, I am no techie -- but could you help me...run me through on how to solve my problem.

Too bad it comes at this time when there are so many Hugh events with images to report

Thanks!

I can copy and paste text ( see above) but not images.

I run into the same problem whether I use EDGE (Microsoft) or CHROME.

Btw, I can copy and paste twitter messages with images therein and it works fine. But if I copy and paste the image within the tweet, it will not allow me to paste it on another site, like ours.

Help

Jo, I also had a problem.  I wanted to copy a couple of photos the other day and couldn't..  i thought maybe there are some new copyright issues with commercial photo sites such as Getty images...IDK

I arbitrarily picked images from a few different sites. Let's test it.

I can see these. Can you? I'm using Firefox. I "copy image location" and put it in the little icon.

[jo]

No, it is not reproducing for me.

I also tried to put in the url into the image icon but nothing comes out.

I am surprised though that both EDGE and CHROME are not doing it for me.

It it can do it for you via Firefox, then it is likely not a copyright issue...but maybe some technical issue that both browsers can eventually sort out.

Thanks.

Jo
