This is a request that when people add links into a discussion that they use the option to open link in new page. (dialogue box where you add the URL) This has the advantage that you will be less inclined to close the Club Together page down by mistake, resulting in having to log in again. This might not affect all systems but it can be a problem on Windows systems. It would be appreciated if people could take a few more seconds to use this facility.

Thanks

David

No back arrow on my iPad TW. The only way I get one is touching on something else on the page. It goes back to CT by either closing the link, or touching back on the discussions tab.

Perhaps we will just have to put it down to the vagaries of CT.☹️

What software are you running, Steve? Mine is iOS 12.1.1 but yours looks a bit different.

10.3.3 TW. It's as far as my older iPad will go.

I'll have a look on my phone which is on 12.1.3 and see how that handles it.

The phone acts slightly differently from the Pad, of course, but your older software explains the difference on the Pad.

Steve, my phone is on 12.1.3 as well. This is Easy's link opening a separate window which will close when I use the back arrow at the bottom of the screen and it returns me to CT from whence I came.

Just checked the phone TW. It seems vagaries of CT is correct. It does give a back arrow. Which takes me back to CT as long as I don't explore the link. If I do then it no longer works and I have to close it.

It seems there is little hope of getting much consistency between devices, if similar ones with different versions of IOS handle things so differently

Not tried doing what you suggest TDL, I don't know if I dare. It is 6 years old and I hope to get another one or two before I replace it. Plus one of my Apps won't work in anything above 10.

Edit

Posted at the same time TW. That's the picture I get as well.

We cross posted, Steve. I think the issue you have is not so much with CT but is down to running older software on your Pad. Mine is perfectly consistent, albeit that the phone software always works slightly differently from the Pad due to the constraints of size and so on.

Funnily we do have a smart TV R2B but you are right in saying that I don't watch it much. I think that I have not watched a programme since months ago. I have watched at least two films last year though.

Fliss tends to put TV on around 6pm when I am usually in the kitchen cooking. After the evening meal I will be found in my study which is one reason I enjoy our time together in the caravan

ET, the ‘smart’ in smart tv means it can interact with the internet & other smart devices it doesn’t mean it looks ‘nice & clean’👍🏻😊

Sorry☹️, it was your allergy to TV’s that had me convinced that smart to you will be the opposite of smart to the rest of us😬. It’s obviously your Lady that’s TV savvy then👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
