I understand it is better to use Tap Talk when you are on an Android tablet . . . And that ECF has it's own version or something . . . Can some one explain? Or lead me to the interface that can be used on a tablet . . . Thanks!

I have a Tap-a-Talk question too. I hope it's okay to enter into this tap thread. (forgive me if out of place).
Part 1. I downloaded it on chrome, just to get rid of the annoying tab that covers the log-in every visit. I have to wait for the tab to exit before signing in each visit even though I've already downloaded it.
Part 2. Upon closing the forum, a notifyer tab comes up to let me know that tap-a-talk is no longer notifying me of mssgs to this forum.
Part 3. Upon loggin in, the notifyer tells me I am now receiving tap-a-talk notifications.
What good is tap-a-talk if it doesn't work when I'm offline???
sign me confused or lost or dummer than dumb, but sheesh....

hang in there! i'm sure somebody will be along to help out - i don't use tap-a-talk but have heard there are still issues to be worked out ....
First you must have the Tapatalk application installed, which I'm assuming you do.
Then you just load the forum normally using the Tapatalk application. Same is true for a tablet or a smartphone.
If you don't have the app, of course you can load it from the Market. It isn't a free application, it cost $2.99 and more info can be found here https://market.android.com/details?...mNvbS5xdW9vcmQudGFwYXRhbGtwcm8uYWN0aXZpdHkiXQ..
Ok, Tapatalk extension for Chrome is only meant for notifications when you are logged into the forum. I use it because it notifies me immediately if a PM comes in. That's all it does, as far as I know. I'm sure it's a development in progress and more features will come in time.
The Tapatalk the OP is referring to is for the Android operating system, whether it's a tablet or smartphone. It's a more useful application and makes the forum more manageable from the smartphone aspect. I use it on my Droid 2 phone, it's really handy when I'm unable to access the forums from my laptop.
I hope this explains it a little better.
Thanks for your explanations. I think I'm getting the hang of this now. All this new fangled stuff gets overwhelming for people like me who still can't even figure out how to program a vcr lol.
I do have Droid, also, but haven't downloaded the tapatalk as of yet, but I will now that I know more about it.
I won't worry about not receiving mssgs when I'm signed out now either. I assume the forum mssg notifier will work the same as it always has for me.
What's a vcr?
Okay - If you are that young that you do not know what a VCR is - I want my Supporting Membership Monies Refunded for "Youthful Impertinance" . . . And being a "smart-aleck" and/or just plain "cheecky" to all of "US" who still have VCR's
