Hi everyone,
This forum is closing on March 31, 2018.
For a while I have been looking for a way to integrate (1 registration per user) my online store, this discussion forum, and website to be mobile (phone) friendly.
At the moment, online store is based on software Zen Cart. It uses email address to login. This discussion forum is based on phpBB, it asked for a username to login.
I was able to upgrade Zen Cart - so that it is mobile friendly. This discussion forum would rely on a third party app 'Tapatalk' for use on mobile. I used to like Tapatalk, but it is irritating lately that their advertisement covers 3/4 of my phone screen on initial use.
Another important reason to move forward with migrating from current forum to new software is that I want a way for new user to self-register. Currently I manually register new user. This method works to filter out spam, but it requires that I manually create user account etc. I want registering to this forum to be better experience for new user.
So if you get a chance, please take a look at the new forum here
http://bigleaforchids.com/forums/The new forum is very simple. It doesn't have complex features as current. Therefore the layout of the new forum is easier to mobile phone.
I'm also starting a new blog where I can use Wordpress app on my phone - and it will update my blog. This will help me set keyword and place photos in correct categories. I've been uploading photos to Facebook for sometime now because it's easy. But my problem with Facebook is that I cannot easily locate specific photo at a later time.
You can find my blog here
