Forum Notifications on Phone
« on: January 21, 2017, 1436 UTC »
I was wondering if anybody knew how to get a notification on your Android phone whenever a post is made on a board(Like the Shortwave Pirate Board.) I've been busy lately and I've been missing out on pirate radio stations because by the time you know about them, they're gone. I've also looked through the tapatalk app and found no settings where I could get push notifications for a new post. Any solutions would be appreciated.
Please QSL At:  sansswl@gmail.com

Radios: Tecsun PL-600, Tecsun PL-380
Antenna: 1.25m Coil Antenna + Whip Antenna on PL-600

If you put the e-mail address of your cell phone on your profile you can then enable notifications on each board you are interested in and it will e-mail your phone when a new Thread is made on the website. I use this daily. I will tell you that it does not work 100%. I find that you have to refresh the notify on the Thread every few days to make sure you are getting the e-mail alerts.

There is a Twitter feed you can follow and that should get you most of the new posts.

Use the hashtag #shortwavepirate
