Ok..I have downloaded the app and tried it. Poppy can you use it in landscape mode? I have one of those Zagg cases with the keyboard so I can be quicker on the forums but I can't seem to make it work on landscape and if there is too much text that I quote I can't see what I'm writing unless it's in landscape mode. Also is this right...when viewing the messages in the app I can't see who wrote the text that is being quoted while reading the thread...
Yes, landscape or portrait, just by rotating the iPad.
Poppy
I can use it either way but when in landscape mode if there is more than what you can see in the window it won't let me scroll down to view or type.... do you see what I mean? Kind of hard to explain.
Remember to open Photobucket select picture you've uploaded click on I in bottom rhs corner and select the bottom option img code. This is then inserted to a reply on this thread. 😉
As far as I know, you can NOT upload an avatar photo from the Proboards App. It has to be done directly from the web using Safari or whatever web browser you are using.

I'm trying to do my avatar photo
Soz. Fletch posted that, I think, go to something he posted click on his name and look for his posts. We've only been here three days so there shouldn't be that many. Lmao
When you're looking at your profile, next to your name is a few options like Social Media where you can link to your Twitter/Facebook, etc, but the one immediately to the right of your name is Modify Profile. That's what you're looking for.[/quote]

ya I'm trying to do it on safari
Let me know if you need any help Tony! You will have to host the photo on Photobucket or some other photo hosting site and then copy the direct link from them and paste it into your avatar field.

Second part first. That's happening for me as well on iPhone.
Try logging in using email addy or have you considered Cox instead of cox? Maybe the autobit on your initial login used caps.

The thing with the upper/lower case is a good point. I relogged on the app changing the initials case and nowi can access the profile without having that server error. Now need to delete one of two entries lol
I can see it too Tony. It shows up for me no problem. I'm using Safari. I will pop on the app real quick and see if I see it from there...yep I can see it on the app too.
Did you get the avatar figured out or not? I don't see a avatar yet.
no cant seem to get the avatar thing working kinda bummed
K if you are using photobucket you need the http url to the photo. Once you have that go to modify your profile and paste that url into the avatar url space then go down to the bottom and hit modify profile. It should work. If you can't get it let me know and if need be you can text me the pic and I can upload it to my photobucket and then give you the url to paste in there.

Am hoping you can help me with the mobile app, am having the same problem with the upper/lower case issue. Have searched all over the app but cannot find a place to log out. Can you send me in the right direction?
In fact you cannot log out on the app. What i did is: from the sceeen showing the unread posts, click the icon on top left to go back and so forth, then i re selected dragonvale as the forum, next step, in the lower left corner it says register, which i did with the correct case. Checked if ok. Then went back and saw the two entries with my name thus two ID s and clicked on top right "modify" to destroy the wrong one. Loggin on app and on browser based forum have to be absolutely identical otherwise the forum considers you as two different persons

Ok, so I am on the iPhone. Should be very similar to how you would do things on the iPad platform.
If you want to crop or edit your photo, do it BEFORE you upload to photobucket. In order to upload pictures to photobucket you will open the app and then click on upload media. It should then take you to your "camera roll". The Sunflower icon that is preloaded on your device to hold your pictures (just in case you happen to keep your photos in another app you will need to move them here). I used to do this, now I automatically move every picture to my "regular" photo storage. Now, tap where it says camera roll. It will bring up your pictures. Tap on the picture you want to upload and you should see a little plus sign in the upper right corner. Tap the plus sign, then at the top tap upload image. Now when you go back to photobucket your image should be there.

Edit to above....do not tap on plus sign, but while the plus sign is showing you will click on upload. You can choose multiple photos. Then you should see it processing. Finally, tap on album again and your photos should be there!

I've disabled "karma" because I think it's kind of dumb and also mis-directed. The implication is that the person is being graded, as opposed to their post(s). The only thing I miss at this point is the "Like" button. I recommend that if you especially like a post that you reply with Quote and simply say "Like".
are you doing it from the app? If so go to your album and tap the image you want to send then tap the little " i " at the bottom right of the screen. Then double tap the img link to copy it then paste it in your comment here. koala !

Good idea Poppy. It's not like the person can see who hit the good karma button if it is being used as the like button anyways...
Alex, no. Basically what happens is you copy the URL of a pic somewhere already available on the web, and paste it into your post in between the tags and [/img]. The board will interpret the img tags and display the URL that you put between them as a pic.
This means your pic has to be already available online. Lots of solutions, but folks here seem to have chosen Photobucket's free pic hosting web service for this. On your iPad you an use Photobucket's free app to upload pics to Photobucket's service. This makes them available online for you, and you can then copy the pic's URL from your Photobucket app (or Photobucket's website), and paste that between the img tags on your post.
All of it is free, none of it requires a forum-browsing app. If you already have a place for your pics online (Snapfish, Flikr, whatever), you don't need Photobucket or its app.
Hope that helps.
On a related note, does anybody care if I go through this thread and delete all your old test picture posts?

Poppy I'm new to your group so I will ask you here is there any way the lovely people could be encouraged to start making new thread topics up in completely new threads? I love reading the chat thread but there are about 6 different conversations going and all that re posting is driving me bonkers, it's very hard to keep up. It must be incredibly hard for those reading on phones, it's hard enough on the iPad. It's been a few years since I have been on one of these chat sites, and I'm not sure of this websites limitations being free and all. For example; One thread on the emoticon topic. One on the IPF thing. One on game of thrones Etc, etc. I know everything is still new and people are getting used to the new formats. Thanks Tracey
