Hello Big Blue Webmaster,
I just downloaded a SmartPhone App to connect to online forums.
Please activate
TapaTalk <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.tapatalk.com/">http://www.tapatalk.com/</a><!-- m --> On The Gauge so that I can take advantage of the streamlined access using my Android Phone.

That's pretty cool. We'll let Path take a look at this and see what we can and want to do. Mikey and I would only screw thing up.

Just a question, what is the difference from this app to what I can normally do from my Droid phone? With a service like Photo bucket, I can do all the same things from my phone that I can from my PC at home. What are the advantages?

Path has been notified of the request. I looked at it and it does require downloading and installing a plug-in to our software so it's best left up to him to do that. We'll let you know when that is done, but I'm sure he'll have to check it out to be sure it won't cause an problems before he adds it to our software.

I can access the forum with a browser on my Droid, but then I have to scroll all over the place to see anything.
Websites and forums were designed for large screens where you can see everything at once and only have to scroll up and down without having to resize anything.
TapaTalk wraps all the text so that it is easier to read.
It takes all the photos and turns them into thumbnails. Then you can tap on the thumbnail and get the picture full screen.
TapaTalk re-configures everything for easier viewing on the small screen.
