I use my laptop or desktop, generally just glance at threads and posts mostly.
I keep fairly up to date on the 'New Posts', and that's about it.

You could use text-to-speech functionality on your device?

On a PC you see a lot less than on Tapatalk because on TT you can scroll down the “unread” list and read every single thread / post.

I hate reading forums on a PC
Kurt, you are 100% incorrect.
On a PC (Webview) you can click on:

New posts
or
Quick links

Under Quick Links you can select:
Unread posts
Unanswered topics
Active topics
Your posts



Tappitsquawk has NO advantage over using a PC/LapTop/NoteBook/Hand Hand Device & looking at the Forum WebView

Strangely, Im inclined to agree 100%
with Manny on this one !!!!

As Ive said before :
Tappets belong in engines not forums ...
though not sure what or how Tapping
helps all you guys nor inclined to find out.

Logging in on PC with a proper keyboard
has to be the best way ... they are high
capability machines that facilitate the most control and versatility,
... except one has to be dedicated to it as a 'work-station',
Eg cant multi-task eg to read at robot or in Lu etc

Top Tip:
If you are on Tappitalk on your phone, WHILE READING A POST, look at the top right, you'll see three dots stacked vertically.

Click on them.

A drop down list of options will appear.

Refresh
Reply
Forward
WebView
Copy URL
Search
Mute
Etc.

Click on WebView and the Forum will magically appear as it should...

It seems the older folk haven’t adopted technology as well as the younger generation. Shame.

Mike PS on Tappitalk had to 'find' the Happy Birthday SuperThread.

If I send a screenshot of a post to a Tappitalk user they always ask for the link.

Tappitalk is not the best way to view a Forum...
