New tapatalk android release
Re: New tapatalk android release
One thing I never liked and may be user error, when I get a pm I never get alerted anywhere. Only way I know I got a pm is to look at messages and see a (1) next to it. Is there another way to get an active notification?

Re: New tapatalk android release
When I see @ I think email. It doesn't imply 'places I've been' to me and I go places without participating so I'm not even sure that logic holds.Knome wrote:also for the nonstandard icons in the tabs, what would you recommend?
@ was chosen because it just denotes places you've been to, there isn't really a "standard" icon for participated is there?
rss icon and the "diagonal wifi" looking symbol we have for unread seemed intuitive to the android beta group but if there is a better one, it's an easy change, we're open to suggestions.
Maybe your visual design team should consider a custom icon here. Off the top of my head maybe something like the image of a stylized user who appears to be talking would be appropriate. That might more clearly denote participation.
I'm surprised the beta group found the WiFi icon intuitive for 'unread'. I don't see the connection. Maybe an icon that shows a set of horizontal lines denoting a list of topics with vertical 'unread' bars beside them would be a more obvious tie in with the visuals for 'unread' in the topic list.
Just some quick off-the-cuff suggestions...

That's typically the way I read DWC too. I navigate differently at sites like WUS since the list of unread topics is usually huge.CGSshorty wrote:I always just go to unread topics.Knome wrote:Just want to confirm, for this issue, what area are you in?

Re: New tapatalk android release
You can change your user settings to send email when you receive a private message. I don't think you can set that via Tapatalk, however, you need to use the web interface.ericf4 wrote:One thing I never liked and may be user error, when I get a pm I never get alerted anywhere.

Surprised the app can't send a notification like other apps such as ebay etc.

Re: New tapatalk android release
It could. The forum server would need to be GCM enabled in order to push messages to the Android Tapatalk client. I'm sure Ken could comment on whether that's already there or in the works. I've never seen a push message for a PM, just email.ericf4 wrote:Surprised the app can't send a notification like other apps such as ebay etc.
Re: New tapatalk android release
The word UNREAD might work to find all the unread topics.

Two aspects to this:ericf4 wrote:Surprised the app can't send a notification like other apps such as ebay etc.
1) The _platform_ that's running the message board. You should have notification options there.
2) The app you use to view multiple message boards - it does have notification options.
In short: this sounds like user error

I'm so fucking lost in this new version. I feel like I need to devote time to study this just to find my way.

Re: New tapatalk android release
It is pretty bad. Surprised they released this TBH. I'm still using it begrudgingly because I often have my phone with me and not my laptop but I hope they fix this in the next version.

If you're on android, this might be something to check out

If you're on an iPhone, well, there's no hope for you.

Re: New tapatalk android release
Hmm so instead of fixing things they've rolled out the broken stuff to other platforms? Odd strategy.
