You folks indicated that all a member had to do was unsubscribe from Political Talk and it would be removed from the general board. IS THAT ALSO TRUE OF CLASSIFIED POSTS WHICH SEEM TO DOMINATE MY GENERAL BOARD?

Well then that explains a lot. I do not own an android and was unaware of this app. I hope you all use this app in a good faith effort to maintain objectivity and fairness. Personally I liked the "guest"aspect of political talk because it focused on comments and not personalities/ego Cést la vie

Even without Tapatalk, you can currently hit 'Quote Post' (on any post), scroll down and see the user names to the left of each post.

That's how it is easy to see a certain new member...vying hard to become the top racist/bigot.

I use the app because I don't own a computer and the app is by far the easiest way to stay connected to TOTV. The "mobile version" of TOTV leaves a lot to be desired. Rubicon, I have always enjoyed your posts and find you to be utmost fair in your anaylsis.

Just a quick FYI...

Tap A Talk is not just an Android app. It's also available for iDevices.

And I (and I would guess most users) use it for its convenience viewing any number of forums in a single place...not just to view Guest userID's on ToTV...heheh.

The mobile version is a custom design to work on the mobile phone as the full TOTV website would be too difficult to operate.

If there is any specific suggestions on how to make the mobile better we are happy to entertain those.

Thanks

This should be 'Guest'. We will look into this.

Specifically, will the names of posters still be continued to be shown on the left, when the 'quote post' button is clicked?

I hope so, as it is enlightening to see the responses from some people.

Some users have reported that when you click Quote Post that the user name appears.

Is this while using Tap A Talk? We tested and do not see that the website is doing this. If it is through Tap A Talk they do not allow us access to custom code any changes. So we cannot correct any functionality issues that occur between TOTV and TAT.

Best Regards,
I know this is a tough task, but the mobile version only shrinks the page to the point it us unreadable. Tapatalk is post reading friendly, but it doesn't provide all the useful features of TOTV.

USA Today has an interactive crossword puzzle in the full web version but not in the mobile one. I find that a big loss but smart phones and smaller tablets force you into the mobile.

Perhaps a several pages menu would work.

I'm curious what features you're referring to.

TOTV Team:

Agree when I hit Quote Post all I see is the username "Guest". Its why I was confused as to how some posters knew who was posting, how many times and if they were posting and replying to their own posts. I thought some of them were clairvoyant
