Website Questions

Yes we do!  It's called a PWA, or a progressive web app. For those who don't know, a PWA is a web app that can operate a website like a mobile application on any device.  It looks like a native application but just works on any browser in a phone or tablet.  You won't find the GLRF app on Google Play or the Apple App Store. 

Android users:

1. On your Android device open Chrome
2. Type in the GLRF website: https://www.glrf.info
3. On the right of the address bar, tap Add to home screen > install
4. Follow the instructions.

Apple iPhone & iPad users:

1. On your iPhone or iPad, open Chrome
2. Type in the GLRF website: https://www.glrf.info 
3. On the right of the adress bar, tap Share share-apple.svg
4. Find and tap Add to Home Screen
5. Confirm or edit the website details and tap Add.

After the GLRF web app is installed on your phone, click the icon and login.  On the menu at the bottom of the screen click on the bell icon (Notifications) and then click on the blue bar that says 'Notification Settings.'

Scroll past the 'Your Notifications' section until you see the next section, 'Notification Types Available.'   The second item will have a mobile icon with a push-like symbol and the word Push.  Click the link that says enable in this browser.

Done.

Just type the @ symbol followed by the userid of the person you want to mention in any content within the GLRF website. (Wait for a displayed list of GLRF members and click on the userid you want)

Once you add the mention, it will look like this: @glrfcentral or whomever you mention.

Most importantly, the mentioned GLRF member will get a notification that he/she/ex has been mentioned.

Any GLRF member can post a status update.  In essence, it's a public message on your own profile activity feed.  It appears in The GLRF Stream.  

There are two ways to use it: 

1. post a rowing-related announcement of your own or add a link to a rowing news story
2. Click on a member's profile, and say something about them (always posiitive...) in the activity status bar.  The status update will appear like this:

glrfcentral -> dph2002 and then below, your comment.

Finding the status update field on a desktop/laptop

1. In the header navigation bar, click on 'Create' and select 'Status.'
2. Alternatively, go to your profile and you'll see the field under the Activity tab that has greyed out lettering: "Write a public message on your own feed..."

Finding the status update field on a mobile/tablet

1. Click on the profile of a user and scroll down until you see the dropdown tab that has 'Activity' displayed.  Below that is the status update field of the user you clicked on.  If you type something in there, it will appear as You -> [user you clicked on}
2. Click on the profile icon at the bottom of the screen
3. Scroll down until you see the dropdown tab that has 'Activity' displayed.  Below that is your own status update field showing: "Write a public message on your own feed"
