Change of forum title?

Sorry if incorrect forum but I guess if it's a ask to change the forum name its the right place.

Firstly, this is only an item of discussion as I fully appreciate the amount of work the admins do and it might only be a tapatalk thing, however...

Would it be possible to change the name to 'General discussion - Rolex"?

I only put this forward as I like to check in regularly and the title stays as "Rolex - General Dis..." unless you click on a post.

I regularly visit less then reputable establishments due to business and I must admit to closing my tapatalk when I am aware anyone is within viewing distance as I am very much a "wear what you want and not what it says about you" kind of guy.

Again, only an item of discussion but I just wondered if I was the only one?

Are you saying you don't want the "Rolex" part to be visible??? Because you are concerned about other people seeing the name of the forum???

Ha, not strip bars but not somewhere I would like the "rolex" name advertised.

Fair enough. Just me!

I opened the tapatalk app on my iPhone just to see if I could follow along with what he is saying. I am still confused.

Here's what I see when accessing through app.

Homepage on app; click "The Rolex Forums". Then click "Rolex & Tudor Watch Topics". Then click "Rolex General Discussion". Then party

If tapatalk displays it as "Rolex General Dis" then it seems to me there is a character limit of 17. Using that logic if you flipped it to General Discussion - Rolex it seems to me tapatalk would display it as "General Discussio"

Not sure that's an improvement.

Displays the exact same way for me "Rolex General Dis..." but I still don't think much reason to switch the words around as not to offend someone that may be peeking at your phone

I’m quoting your post just so you can’t change or delete it.

I legitimately spent four or five good minutes laughing at your post and the responses to it . It was obviously a sincere question which actually makes it funnier. I’m not making fun of you in the least. This is just an “everything added up the right way” type situation for unintentional humor.

Edit: read number 4 and the “less than reputable establishments” line is no less hilarious.

I’m re-quoting your post because it’s so good it needs to appear twice :)

OP - if you cover the top portion of your screen with some tape then no one will see the forum title.

That much is true. Then all you’d have to do is ask everyone to never discuss Rolex or post any pictures. Should be a simple enough request.

Although not clear, I'll help out OP here!

This is the current stage of sub-forum name.



OP wants the sub-forum to be

General Rolex Discussion
Vintage Rolex Discussion

(Which is actually more consistent with 2nd sub-forum thread). But its like when OP opens the sub-forum - he don't want others to know he's browsing Rolex forum easily!

No. He wants General Discussion-Rolex so the Rolex name will not appear on Notifications on his phone to avoid people seeing what is receiving.

Try a screen protector that cuts visibility when not viewed head on? You could visit any nefarious site in any dubious location with relative anonymity.

It's not offend. I dont give two figs 99‰ of the time. I only suggested as sometimes it's nice to check in without a bold title.

No bother. Love the forum.

Thanks to admins for all their hard work
