Tapatalk update

[EdwinG]

Yes but for some reason Tapatalk works with the photo icon and the iMore Forums app works with the paperclip. Now the iMore website uses the paperclip (attachment) to post photos as well. Not sure how your able to post photos with the Paperclip on Tapatalk. I'm going to try...

The blue D should be broken for you guys even though I'm able to see it

I can see it…

Got it 'D'

Now I'm confused...LOL . I used the Tapatalk paperclip..Gallery choice

 

[dmoskaluk]

That's what I 'used to do' with mixed results. My iPhone was better that way than iPad, but neither was consistent

 

[Spencerdl]

I'm going to suggest that when using the Tapatalk app use the photo icon and when using the iMore app use the paperclip. Remember even if you can see your photo doesn't mean everyone else can, however if you use the methods above we should be able to see your photo/screenshot posts.

Second test... still on my iPad, and the iMore App... using the photo icon. Can you see it?

Yay!!! I can finally see Annie’s pics and not broken images!

I was given a choice of size which I'd rarely seen. I chose 'Medium'

Medium is lower quality.

 

[Spencerdl]

Medium is lower quality.

This is true. I usually only use the top choice when posting wallpapers or the Show your Lock/Home Screen thread.

Attachment.

What's interesting is that on the web version, it shows up as a link.

Shows on my TapaTalk as a link. Link goes nowhere.

I just went back and checked and indeed it has turned into a link that's no good when before it was the actual photo. That is strange. That's why I suggested to just follow what we've been doing for years now. Tapatalk use the photo icon and for iMore phone app use the paperclip.

OK - to hopefully bury the dead horse & have a cremation on this broken link conundrum, I've attached here the same material normally from the homescreen thread. I'd previously used the medium size selection but will now use the 'Original' size as I wondered if filesize is/was ever a factor. This is of course Tapatalk, using photo icon. I've never seen a broken link on Spencerdl's initial posts of screens so let's see. The medium attachments are several posts back.

I don't even know why they offer Small and Medium size. I mean...who wants their images to look fuzzy? Just saying!

That’s Tapatalk-specific.

Larger resolution pictures take more space, costing more money (at Tapatalk’s scale). Those pictures aren’t hosted by iMore, but Tapatalk themselves.

Right. But who would choose the lower resolution, unless they didn't know the quality isn't as good. I never said the resolution size was done by iMore on TapaTalk.

Understood - but simply for what it's worth - I remember getting 'my first' computer at 45 years old and mostly teaching myself. Even at work at that time ( mid-90's) the only literacy involved was using 'information-terminals' for scheduling information and very basic weather briefings. The then younger generation had been exposed to a digital world since their school days and essentially grew up with it. I was mentored by peers only. Then and now the implication the 'everyone knows that' simply misses the point. All 'users' aren't necessarily 'enthusiasts' and forums are meant to share, teach, assist, and inform any and all. The specifics of any problem are differently viewed by different people and general background knowledge grows with each discussion, IMHO.

Indeed.

Anybody else else getting these 'grayed out' boxes throughout the Tapatalk site?

 

[dmoskaluk]

Yes -several when on the 'subscribed' section. There also are many 'broken links' in the posts.

Yes, nearly all are like that!

 

[Modelflier]

Everywhere, unread, subscribed and participated. However I can see my own posted images, but only my own!

Thanks Gentlemen. It's been reported.
