We are now Tapatalk enabled!
Tapatalk is an amazing forum viewing app for iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry, and Chrome. There is a one time cost of $2.99 to install it, but it is well worth it. It makes participating in the forum from a mobile device a breeze.
You can find this forum on Tapatalk by searching for "Baltimore", or by navigating to the Sports > Baseball and Football category.
Here are a few screenshots of what the forum looks like on Tapatalk:

Your unread subscriptions!
If you look at the header at the top of the forum, you will see a new link called Your unread subscriptions.
The link takes you to your User Control Panel to a new section we created called Your unread subscriptions.
This will show you a list of all the topics you are subscribed to that have unread posts in them. Some older topics with unread posts might not show up in this list because of the fact that we just implemented this feature, but it should work correctly going forward.
Let me know if you have any trouble with this one.

What is the difference between tapatalk and just regular typing up on your IPAd or phone?
It formats the forum nicely in the app and prevents you from having to zoom around on the screen to find the submit button, etc. It makes it easier to navigation between different forums, as it makes it appear as if the forum was natively built to be used on a mobile device. It also makes replying to forums more like typing a text message.
Here's a video review:

When you click that, you need to enter the code for the YouTube video that you want to embed. In the URL for the video, you will see "v=somecharacters". Here is an example:
http://www.youtube.c...h?v=LKWDMWnnXvo
Take the "LKWDMWnnXvo" part and put it in between the youtube tags. There may be other stuff in the URL as well, but we're only intersted in the part after "v=". Once you click the youtube button and paste the code, it will look like this:
After you click the Submit button, it will embed the video:
LKWDMWnnXvo
(Wow, not many names from this song are still on the team!)

Chris, Sammy... the new changes seemed to have removed the feature that shades/colors every other post in a way that helps distinguish one post from another.
Mine seem to look okay, Greg.

Sammy, is there a way to automatically subscribe to a thread that you post in?
User Control Panel > Board Preferences > Edit posting defaults > Notify me upon replies by default
Having that set to yes will automatically subscribe you to any topic you post in. The down side is that it sends an email notification when someone posts in one of your subscribed threads. You might need to set up an email filter if you set this to Yes.

It looks ok from here. Can you get me a screenshot of what you see?

It's working fine now... don't know why that happened.

But still, very nice job Mr. Birdland.

I 'd just like to point out as an FYI, you can remove the signature in TapaTalk by going to "Settings", "TapaTalk Signature" and selecting "None". I don't know why, but that stupid signature drives me crazy.

This may be a format issue or a user CP issue. But anyway, is there any way to change the settings that allows me to go to the last post that I personally have read in that thread?
