The only thing the app was good for was uploading pictures.

then, seems like most people could just do pics whenever they get on a desk or lap top, iPad etc. Some may only have
cells, but I don't personally know anyone who's without access..

I don't use mobile devices for the forums I'm on.... they're junk for maneuvering.

Can somebody tell me what a Trophy point is? I see I have them I don't know why or how. What's the point to this, with the likes and dislikes? Is this like that Facebook stuff my kids have? Help an old pisano out and explain this stuff to me.

 

[petspoiler]

You and I have the same number, so I think it means we're Better than your mama's cooking.

I'm only here cuz rob promised a possibility of a new mobile option

Yes. The only thing that this new format fails to offer that an app can is a shortcut that you can install on your phone or tablet's home screen. We now have a way to support these shortcuts.

With this addition, there is absolutely nothing that an app could give you that our new software fails to give you.

Add an App-Style shortcut for iOS

Add an App-Style shortcut for Droid

The mobile version here uploads pics exactly the same way as in the old app, with the same in-line (full size) or not (thumbnail) options.

Trophy points add up a member's total contributions to the site, basically how much you've done beyond spam blasting posts everywhere. This way, a member's worth is MORE than their post count. When the awards system goes live again, this'll become very apparent.

 

[Aquanero]

I was always under the impression a members worth was more than just a post count, how does a Trophy point validate that if the only criteria for being issued is your post count? What am I missing? I can't find the area that explains it.
