Many of us have started at full PCs standard keyboard and full size monitors.

Followed with laptops that "cramped " our fingers and eyes a bit.

Now the smartphones...arghh

How has it affected YOUR posting?

Doesn't matter if you post from your computer or phone, I still read your posts in your accent.... :stir:

I normally post from my laptop when at the office... On my phone if I'm bored as shit, so that means hardly ever...

I love my Ipad and keyboard combo so tired of PC's laptops and headache's. Looking forward to a bigger screen not sure if I'll go to a 4.7 or 5.5. but I'm leaning toward 5.5.

Its hard to leave a platform once your in.

Drops out where? And just because everything else works like it should does not mean it's not you or your phone

connecting with what? A third party app like tapatalk or a direct url?
are you trying to go to a bookmarked page that no longer exist?
have you cleared cookies/cache since the switch?

I click on Mikes board and it acts like it wants to load and then gives me a failed to connect..then I click on another and it connects right away...click out of it and go back to Mikes board and it fails to connect...yes I cleared every thing.......

not book marked...when you changed the board over I had to clear the old one and reload the new one onto tapatalk....

btw. I have no problem browsing MB with TT on the many devices I own. I would suggest you delete again, search, and add back

I use my phone more now that I got a Note3. I haven't really learned how to properly edit text in the Android environment, so if I have a long or technical post I wait until I'm in front of my PC.

Since the new board I don't use Tapatalk at all. Although the mobile website has a few warts it's still better than TT.

That is just dirteee.

works fine on my phone, long threads are a pain to scroll down to.

Never understood why people use tapa talk anyway.

iPad mini and iPhone. It's like the butler of smartphones. Doesn't do a lot of little crud like an android. But it just works. My 4s is 3 years old. No problems. We just got 6s. The iPad mini is the perfect size IMO.

:hopeless:

what has?

again if you are talking about tapatalk delete MB from your list. Then add it back. Otherwise you will have issues.

or don't use a 3rd party app that acts as a "go between".....................

or are you using the browser?

The tiny keyboard devices give "hunt and peck" typists an advanage.

When I was at MSU it was expected to be able to type 60 wpm accurately on an IBM Selectric. A very useful skill that has since been shot to pieces by the tiny devices.

The result is a trend to shorter posts....maybe a good thing?
