Forums on the phone

It's telling me for only $4.99 more (on top of the $2.99 already spent)
that I can upgrade to the full HD version that looks like above with layered
panes. But after looking around I doubt I'll use it that much. I like the regular
Web version better on my iPad. I can see me using the Tapatalk version on
my iPhone though. I agree it's too hard to post on a phone from the regular
website. So I appreciate your telling us about this app Rock.

I check in from time to time on a Galaxy SII 4G. The default skin is much easier to read. I turn it sideways and size the text box to the screen so I only have to "slide" to read the names of the current poster.

As for battery, I use my phone full time (no land line) and while I don't watch You Tube all day, I do use the internet a lot and talk at will. I have never exhausted the battery before midnight. I charge it for 7 hours every night. Most of the people who complain about battery life seem to be younger people who play games and watch videos a lot.

The most annoying problem with webbing on the phone is accidentally touching the links, especially in a medical article or something where they feel the need to link to definitions and other pages for almost every word having more than five letters.

I post from my phone when I'm doing tractor work so this will help me.

I forgot to add that wearing 2.5 reading glasses on top of contact lenses helps a lot.

2.5! You're ready, might as well get the hole dug.

I have readers from 1.0 to , I think 4.0. I sometimes wear readers over my readers if I am having trouble with some fine work. I do a fair amount of sewing for my niece who needs costumes for her plays and Ren Faire, as well as needing to have manufactured clothing taken in and up as a petite. With those super readers I could put a thread between a gnat's thighs without touching the sides.
