I just realized the size limits on avatars were super small, so I bumped it up to 150 pixels square and 50k file size. Looking forward to some creative avatars now. :)

Should there be forums for the various 911s over the years? At the moment there is one for the GT variants, and for newer 991/2 ones. What about 997, 996, 993, 964 and beyond?

I will try my best to explain so I apologize in advance if this sounds like a hot mess!

Some of the forums that I am on has the capability to click beside the last person to post on a thread. This will take you directly to their reply instead of having to scroll through all the replies. Hopefully this makes some sense.

Yeah, it seems that you can reply from any post if you hit the 'quote this post' button, but otherwise have to go to the end of the thread.... I'll look into that, though it may be too deeply engrained in PHPBB for me to fix. If we keep growing, I may end up porting over to a more polished forum package, like xen foro or the like... Appreciate the comment, very much!

Anyone have thoughts/opinions on Tapatalk? This forum works 'ok' on my iPhone, but I can't help but think it would be easier to use with a dedicated app for phones... There's also a system called Mobiloud that creates a native app that mirrors the forum in a mobile friendly way. Or a custom app I suppose. Any thoughts/suggestions/input as I mull options?

I'm posting this from android now just to try it. Honestly it's fine. I can't imagine it being much better in a native app, but maybe it could be. Like if you could capture pics or video from within the app to post immediately that would be cool. I don't know if any of the apps you mentioned can do that.

Is there anyway to post pics without having them hosted online?
