Hi guys, just wondering how you all use the forum.

i notice it’s not on Tapatalk.

is there an app?

or do you all just use the website?

 

No app that I know of. I’ve actually gotten so used to the mobile version that I have a hard time navigating when I’m on my desktop. It’s a very easy interface for mobile once you get used to it.

 

I suppose the question is have - given the complexity of maintaining the website and the traffic that it has - what benefit would you perceive an app would bring.

(BTW when I first joined I also thought an app would be an awesome idea - but have come around to a different perspective)

 

MEC, Canada’s big outdoor retailer, is retiring their app next week. They feel their website is a better interface for customers. I don’t see what an OF app would improve on.

 

I’m starting to realize that this website is pretty easy to use

 

The web interface works perfect. Best among the watch fora i have seen so far.

 

Hands down the best mobile forum I've experienced. I believe it was built from the ground up.

 

It took me until the 4th post to understand that you were asking if there was an app. I was wondering what an A P P might be. Need to get with it.

 

Sorry :chuckle:

 

I was wondering about an app for this too. But the mobile version is pretty good.

 

what mobile version? I access this on an android useing a browser; is there a better way?

 

No I meant accessing it through the browser on my phone.

 

Lol. Nice!

 

I don't use any social media to be honest. I was just wondering because for example, if I post something, and someone replies to my post, how will I know?

Using Tapatalk, with other forums, I would get a notification that would say "pdxleaf" quoted your post, for example.

I was asking about an app just because of that.

 

I hope you don't think I was poking fun at you. I meant this as a joke in general. Let me know if you believe i was out of line. (I am also not a Facebook or Twitter guy.)

I don't know the ends and outs for how it works. If someone replys to your post you should get an email. If someone replys to your thread but doesn't quote you then you may not be notified. I expect you to get an email because I quoted you.

Perhaps the mods can answer more specifically. You can also PM them directly with any questions. They are pretty open and want to help. They volunteer after all.

Cheers,

Dave

 

App only works in Australia.

On our new OF gear we a putting through the paces.

 

Now I am confused. I got an email saying you replied. It must be anyone who replies next to your last post, regardless of quoting. I don't get notified when everyone posts even if i am following. But i think you will get notified anytime you get quoted. So it's the next post after yours and anytime you are quoted. (Unless you happen to live in Aussieland.)

 

Don’t worry about it.

I didn’t know that I will get an email. Thanks!

 

I have had all emails turned off for years.

 

No app. The only part of the site that confused me at first was how to get to view the alerts inbox.
