This isn't very primitive, but ... do any of you use a droid smart phone to read the PA forum? If so, is there an app you use? I used the browser today with my new Droid x2 and thought there must be a better way. ???

OK, I give up,,what is a droid?? ???

It's a smart phone by Motorola. I'm headed to the hog lease for the weekend and would like to stay up on the forum while I'm waiting for hogs to arrive. Like I said, not very primitive. Sorry.

George...no way to D/L pictures to P.A....the Web Site won't allow it...don't know why though.......... :-\
-
What operating system (O.S.) does the phone use? I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia 10 which uses the Android O.S. - linked with Google, if I remember correctly. I looked up the website via the Google search bar, then click on "community", then "lobby" on the next screen.
I'm not a big user (or even believer) in "app's" ::) and I don't do Apple :P hehehe

OK ,you guys are going to have to start speaking English. Who knows you may be cussing on

and good buy. :) Soory I guess I am no help. :)

I downloaded a Flickr app last night. If I can get pictures to FLickr I can get them to the forum. What is so hard is manipulating the web page, I keep hitting the unread posts hyperlink instead of the new replies link.
I'm sorry guys, this is geeky stuff. We haven't sworn even once though... :)

Ok. I use the phone to view 95 percent of the time. I use photobucket for the droid. It is so user freindly that 2 year old could do it. Just take photo and then upload [hit the upload button] then view gallery and hit menu and select link. I use the second choice can't remeber what it is called. If you have trouble just IM me and I will send you my phone number and walk you through it.

Thanks. The app I was looking for is named tapatalk and there are boatloads of forums listed. Sadly, Primitive Archer's forum is not one of them. It looks like the forum owner has to go to their web site and set it up. They say it's free, but I'm skeptical. Guess I'll keep using the browser.
Thanks again,
George

I must admit that my I-Phone makes it much easier than my droid did. I jailbroke it and use some open source apps with a few mods that I made myself.
-
you still can't post pictures straight to Primitive Archer though....I have tried everything...just can't find a way around it....

Yea Mike, I understand. I don't send many pictures directly to the forum so it won't be much of an issue for me.
Hatch, I missed the above. This is a droid x2 with android 2.2 I think. Yes, what I think you're doing is using the browser. I will do that, was just hoping for a little better interface. It'll be fine, I'll quit complaining. :-[ :-[
George
PS. I don't do Apple either. ;)

Hit menu, view links, and long press img. come to the forum, long press the screen, select paste...and there ya go.

There is a paid app called tapatalk that is supposed to offer a modified more user friendly for smartphones interfaced. I haven't purchased it only because PA is not on there. It's supposed to be easy and free for forum owners to join. My computer died awhile ago and my only access to the internet has been on my phone.
I wonder who we would contact to see if they could make PA available via Tapatalk...
-
Yea, I bought tapatalk before I discovered PA wasn't on there. The other forum I frequent (Texasboars) also isn't on there. Bummer. I use Flickr, not Photobucket and so far I haven't found a decent Flickr app. Now I'm regretting going with Flickr.
George
-
Would it be much trouble to send the pics to photobucket from flickr?
-
Don't know. I picked Flickr because work didn't block it like they do Photobucket. Now they block Flickr picture uploads, but I can still see pictures in the account. I've never used Photobucket.

I prefer to blue tooth tether my Iphone and laptop. The speed is just as fast, but by using my laptop I have a bigger screen to look at and a keyboard that works with full sized fingers.

Jorge,
I am always logged into PA on my iPhone.. I can send PMs, reply to post, post new topics, but haven't figured out the photo thing.. Wish it were as easy as facebook is..
U should have gotten an iPhone.. Jus saying :o
NTD, what kind of snake is that? Rattler?

It's a gopher snake, that lil critter to the right was attacking it, think she was trying to defend her nest, she succeeded.
