Changes coming for Tradgang.....

toddster · May 11, 2017, 02:47:00 PM

I think making picture and video easier to post, perhaps a chat area, would be nice (especially in evening), following certain threads would be nice as well. I feel we need to keep the messaging and/or email option, for one on one contacting. I also think either a standard area to contact administrator's be good too.

I love the site the way it is. My only request would be, as others have stated, to be able to direct upload pics from my phone. I'd post a lot more pics if it was simple...as it is, I have to have my wife do the photobucket thing and she HATES it.

I also hope the format stay basically the same. I hate mobile friendly sites on my phone...they are SO SLOW and aggravating.

I think the direct photo thing from the phone would be a good thing. If I ever get my phone off the kitchen wall I could use that maybe.

Consider a tab where it posts ALL the most recent posts from all of the other folders or whatever you call it. This way you can go right there and see what is new. Still keep ( and use) all the folders, but be able to do a one stop shop kinda visit.

Considering the overwhelming desire for a better photo posting option, why not set your site up to automatically forward any pictures we post directly here onto a photo-bucket type site that only you have access to, that then pulls from it to show them here.

Would make it easy for us, and you would have no massive storage issues.

I'm with everyone on the direct pic posts. I'm extremely happy with everything else!

Thank you.

I hate photobucket so I agree on the uploading pics part. I'm probably the least tech savvy guy on here lol, so I don't know what it takes to do it, but I have Tapatalk for a couple other forums and it makes it super easy to upload pics and videos. Just no idea what it takes to have a forum added to tapatalk.

Glad to hear Facebook and Twitter is not going to take over. I like the forum as is but I am sure you guys will not mess it up.

MikeNova · May 11, 2017, 07:06:00 PM

Cool anything to help us computer illiterates

Wow , direct picture posting would be awesome .
I have taken pictures , cropped them , and send them to Photobucket and wait .
And waite.....
To only find out the upload failed .
Then try again .
Yeah , I vote for the direct picture posting . That would help a whole bunch .

This format may have age to it....but it sure is the easiest to use that am aware of. Well done obviously. Personally I like the current site. upgrades are nice....but hope we don't lose the ciurrent flavor. Either way...I trust it will be great.

TooManyHobbies · May 11, 2017, 07:27:00 PM

Looks like the picture thing is covered...

It would be nice to click on a thread and have the newer posts/replies show up, instead of scrolling to find where you left off. Some of the longer threads have many pages to scroll through.

Maybe even an icon that shows which thread you participated in. Makes those threads easier to find when you don't remember the title.

Maybe a format for smartphones and access to Tradgang through Tapatalk.

Cyclic-Rivers · May 11, 2017, 08:21:00 PM

Good luck Terry. I love this place. I haven't been able to be here as much as I like as access is a bit cumbersome through my phone but after my transition i hope to have a puter again.

Guss · May 11, 2017, 08:57:00 PM

Terry, best website that I visit period..!! I've gained more knowledge on here than I could ever hope to locally in my neck of the woods..!!
One thing that I could see an improvement in, which some members have already expressed, is making it easier to post pics....I've never had problems posting pics, but I see that mentioned more than anything, especially in the classifieds.
Not sure if that's on your radar, but a suggestion.
Thanks for a great site...

gvdocholiday · May 11, 2017, 10:08:00 PM

I may be aging myself a bit here...but Tapatalk compatibility would be AWESOME!!

KSdan · May 11, 2017, 10:23:00 PM

Ditto x 133 for pics.

Always wanted some archive for the wealth of knowledge from members who go on various hunts. (Like Kevin Dill, Steve O, J/J/M- Dryad guys, etc.) Would love to know tips for various hunts/states, equipment ideas, lists, etc. Maybe archive for State or Type of Hunt.

Thanks.

My facebook comment was an example of the ease of posting a pic instantly. Nothing more. I see lots of the same threads here are also on various facebook pages generated by the same original author. The facebook pages have photos with the comments. Here it is a hit or miss, depending on the author. Tradgang would be better enhanced with an on site photo upload capability. That's it in a nutshell.

Picture upload would be nice, but as it is, Tradgang is the greatest archery forum on the internet. I thank you Rob and Terry, and any others that help build/maintain this place. I can only hope that changes don't compromise that.
