The only downside is find with Tapatalk is the lack of all the smileys but posting a picture is much easier than from a browser so I can live with it.

I'm finding the Tapatalk experience a bit underwhelming. I'm sure it's great on a phone, but on a tablet it is effectively like having a mobile version of CC, so you lose all the nice look of the site. I think I will probably end up browsing using the full site but will use Tapatalk to post. I agree with you about the smilies, there are only about 6 of them!

Yes I know what you mean thats what I thought at first but I dont really care what it looks like I am only interested in reading the posts and it doesnt have to download all the fancy graphics etc so it is quicker and if you have a limit on your broadband it wont use as much of it up.

It is a bit like the real books vs ebooks a lot of people prefer the look and feel of a real book, but me I dont care. I dont look at the cover when I am reading it so I am only interested in the contents what the book looks like is irrelevant to me.

Colin, I think we bolth use a Galaxy Tab 8.9? I've always had problems with CC on my Tab. There is a long delay when typing, the reply button doesn't work (sometime works if you press twice), smilies only work sometimes, can't paste links etc. Functionality is greatly reduced when trying to use CC on the Tab. I don't get these problems on my laptop or the home computer, nor do I get them with other forums which work fine on my tab.

I was hoping this might change when the OS upgrades to ICS, but seems like the rest of the world will be on strawberry sundae or whatever they'll call it before the Galaxy Tab 8.9 gets ICS

I dont use tapatalk but I have many of the issues you describe on my Galaxy 10.1

This is getting really odd now ...

Preview has mysteriously started working on my Tab, as has rich text editing which means that text formatting, inserting smilies , urls etc. is no longer a pain - yay!

Embedded YouTube videos are still not working on CC, but I just discovered that they do work on my blog so the browser is no long er the prime suspect!

PS Inserting urls is still iffy because the icon for doing it is greyed out on my tablet when anchor text is highlighted.
