Tapatalk/PB help

[kfitz]

Hi lady's!

I figured I would put a resource together for help getting yourselves set up in our new home.

Got a specific question? We'll answer it here (or try to)!

A great resource already exists on the Chit Chat>Greetings and Salutations board: goodbyecb.proboards.com/thread/234/proboards-tapatalk-help

If you are on the website, you can also find that link at the top of our board in the stickies!

Some helpful info:

• The app for the board is called Tapatalk. It is not an app for proboards specifically, so you will need a username and password for both. They CAN be the same.
• PB uses BBCode. In most cases, it's the same as it was on TB, just using brackets ("[*]") instead of carrots. Remove the * and include whatever code you need. There is also an option on the app to pull up a few basic BBCode tags.
• To set your signature, you must be viewing the desktop page; you can't do it from the app.
• Android app users can check their post count by clicking on their avatar picture. This option is currently unavailable on the Apple app.
• Currently, you cannot view clickii poles on the app.

To check the most recent responses in a thread:

• On the website: On the top right, there is a box for "Participated."  When someone has added a response to a thread you have participated in, it will show as "NEW."  Click that box and select the thread you wish to view.
• If you do not see the "Participated" box, you can enable it in your settings.

You can subscribe to our board, making it easier to find on the app! Just locate our board and on the upper right-hand corner of your screen, tap the three horizontal lines. Tap Subscribe. Now, in the GBCB sub-forum drop down menu, you'll see O14 at the top!

On the app and wish to see the global GBCB announcements? Once in the O14 forum, tap the sub-forum drop down menu and choose what posts to view.

I want a ticker for my kids. Can I do that?

Yep!  Find the ticker you want on the web (they don't have any here), and if there are options for coding, just make sure to copy and paste the BBCode format (the one that uses brackets).  If there is only an HTML option, then you can copy that text and just change the tags from carrots to brackets.

You can edit your signature using the web page by clicking on the Profile tab.  Then click the Edit Profile button (on the right side of the profile).  Go to the Personal tab and scroll down to your signature.

So if I created a screen name, etc. on the website, how does that translate with this Tapatalk app?

It doesn't, unfortunately. You need to create a tapatalk account as well. But most users use the same info for both.

Yup that's what I did

I think I like the PB on mobile without using tapatalk. So I just created a bookmark on my home screen on my iPhone. But does anyone know how I can change the settings so when I click on a thread it goes to most recently read? I can't seem to find how to do that on mobile when not using the tapatalk app.

You have to use the desktop site. So if you scroll down, at the bottom there should be a link for the desktop site. Then go to profile>edit profile>settings

Is there a way to get straight to our board from the app? I go to a "feed" page, then have to click GBCB at the top and scroll all the way down to the birth clubs and finally O14. Am I missing a simple way to get right to the good stuff?

Which phone do you use?  Apple or Android?  I'm not sure if it's different on Android, but you can subscribe to the board and get to it more quickly that way.

Once you have opened the BMB, click on the three lines in the upper right-hand corner.  Click subscribe.

Now when you open GBCB from Tapatalk, you should see the BMB as the first item in the drop-down menu before the rest of the boards.

Bumping!

Im on mobile and it annoys me that I cant see who started a thread. It only shows the name of who posted last. Is this a setting I can change? With all these "ask me anything" threads, I keep forgetting which ones Ive looked at.
