Maxwellian Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 We recently spent two weeks on the lovely Broads. Using my IPad I really struggled to get enough access to cope with the rapid increase in Postings........but despite upsetting SWMBO several times as I was paying so much attention to reducing the unready down to zero I managed it. Two weeks after my return I now find that even with good tinternet access I am struggling to do the same. So please pause take a deep breath and slow down, post tortoise style. Then I can keep up. Just joking. Enjoying the posts and increase activity. Welcome to anyone that I may have missed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watershed Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I'm going as slow as i can,a cheapo smart phone and fat thumbs see to that.It's all them with proper keyboards that are to blame! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadScot Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Oye Max, Please dinny do that, you scared the life out of me, and probably the other Mods with yer headline Personally I am having a busy time reading, and having a guid laugh at times, with some of the posts. Others are pure Broads Theatre, for all to enjoy and read or look at the pictures etc. It will calm down, once folks find their way around all the Forum links. Enjoy your searching Max, Iain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sos247 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Have you tried using the forum on the Tapatalk app? I actually signed up for Tapatalk but unsure why I would need it at the moment.....? I guess I need to read what its all about...instead of just clicking on anything that appears on my new phone! Sadly :-( I ditched my Nokia 6230i (pressure from wife & family!) and moved onto a Iphone5S plus an Ipad, so just struggling with these at the moment! ;-) regards jason 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Jason, Know the feeling. I have had a Samsung Mini3 now for a year. At times I pine for my old Nokia! Its called progress.... hmmmph. Iain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sos247 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Progress!!! i struggle to write a simple text now! Plus I often ring people when Im only trying to view their number....., just the slightest to touches it classes it as an instruction! Plus im starting to argue with 'Siri' more & more now!.......Im positive thats very close to a sign of madness when i'm arguing with my phone!!..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 To say my language was somewhat colourful this time last year....is/was an understatement For a while I used one of those rubber stylus pens to do texting. BTW I did ALL those things you said lol Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxwellian Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Sorry Iain...wicked sense of humour. I would like to say that I had no idea it could raise the mods blood pressure when they read the title, but I would be lying. Promise to behave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I only use Tapatalk. Really useful for deleting all the joke threads allowing me to concentrate on the Broads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowjo Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Cor! all these new fangled phones, mines a ten year old steam driven Vodaphone thingy on pay as you go that I rarely turn on, in all that time I've only used £15 credit, well not I! the wife uses it if hers runs out, I think I've only sent about 8 texts because I never take my reading glasses so can't see to send them, so why do I have one I hear you ask, well I use it as an alarm clock to remind me it's time to take my pills, I knew I'd find a use for it eventually, I'm phonaphobic I hate them, if the home phone rings I call Judi or ignore it, on the rare occasion I have answered it, I just say "WHAT" Frank,,, 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Jonzo, I have applied the filter and it works fine on the "normal" internet, however, on Tapatalk all the supposed to be filtered subjects are shown in the unread. Have I done something wrong or is it just life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I have a Nokia 520. It has been threatened several times with going out of the window. I cannot get on with the stupid idea that when you unwittingly happen to speak when you go into the phone section , for no good reason it starts to ring any old number that you have stored. Then each time I put the phone down it blessed well starts saying Speak Now and some woman starts bleating on about she cannot hear me. Well that is because I didnt want that service in the first place. Whatever happened to a mobile that just phoned telephone numbers that you required and only came on when you switched it on. It drives me witless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hi Monica, You never had that trouble with the length of line and the two cans if you kept the line tight. Regards Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 It wouldn't be the first time that I'd arranged an exchange of contracts between a 3-pound lump hammer and a Nokia phone! An N97 it was...absolute garbage. It would do anything except allow phone calls and text messages. As much use as a chocolate teapot. May it rest in pieces.

Matt Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Yeah that filter only works on the website I'm afraid - Tapatalk just takes our data feed and presents it in its own way. There is a major new version of the Tapatalk app coming very soon, not sure what exciting features that may bring... Just life then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxwellian Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 For the first time this week I managed to get the "no more new content" message. Needed a Saturday morning to manage it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labrador Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Kindle Fire HDX 8.5" and Nokia 520 Windows phone, perfect combination. What I can't do on one I can do on the other, for a lot less money than iPhone/iPad combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
