Technical issues with TPL

Bloodhound61 · August 2018

Have any of y'all had issues posting from your iPhones lately? Somewhat suddenly, I find I can read and navigate the site just fine from my phone but can no longer create a post from it. Only recent change I've made is in upgrading to IOS 12. I didn't see a thread for us to post any technical issues (iPhones or otherwise, so I figured I'd make a Catch All)

Any suggestions would be welcome from members or our STG moderator!

@Bloodhound61 You might try to uninstall and then reinstall the app. I've done that before and it seems to reset the app so you have full functionality again.

Wait.

What "app?"

jim102864 · August 2018

@motie2 There's an app for TPL (and for Tobacco Reviews too).

motie2 · August 2018

Fantastic!

Bloodhound61 · August 2018

@jim102864, thank you for the response! I had no clue that we had an app for this....just been using the website on the phone's browser and hadn't had an issue until a few days ago. I'll hunt up the app and hopefully be a happy(er) piper again.

@jim102864, I'm not finding the app...is it in the regular app store?

jfreedy · August 2018

App? What app?

motie2 · August 2018

Yeah, I couldn't find either app in the Apple App store.

jim102864 · August 2018

I'm an Android guy. Both are in the Google Play app. I'm surprised Apple doesn't have them.

Bloodhound61 · August 2018

Well, my original question stands, I suppose. Any help from admin or laypersons is welcome.

Posting this from my iPhone... but I'm on version 11.03. I'll check with the folks who know about these things.

Bloodhound61 · August 2018

@Leonard, much appreciated....I'd had no problem posting from my phone until recently

PappyJoe · August 2018

@Leonard my iPhone is running 11.4.1 try updating

Leonard · August 2018

I believe 12 is still in beta by Apple

Bloodhound61 · August 2018

@Leonard, that's correct. I'm running the IOS beta 12.8. It has been remarkably stable across all apps thus far.

A bunch of us keep getting promoted to "." I guess "." is a good thing, eh?

jfreedy · August 2018

Yep... I was just notified today by TPL that I'd been promoted! Yay.... I'm finally... still a Master.

motie2 · August 2018

@jfreedy -- Sincere congrats!!!!!!

Leonard · August 2018

Me too. I’m just going to fill in the blank myself. I’ve been promoted to The Great Grand Poohbah.

PappyJoe · August 2018

The technical error seems to be posts getting repeated several times. Like @Leonard double post.

Leonard · August 2018

Or maybe I'm just really proud of being named The Great Grand Poohbah.

And, we use to get notifications when someone tagged you in a post. (TAG is putting the @ before the user name, basically replying to a comment or directing a comment to the user.) I don't seem to be getting the notifications.

PappyJoe · August 2018

Just got a notification!
It said System mentioned me in this discussion but when I went to check it out, there was not comment by System.

@Corey562 was having issues as well. He hasn't been able to post pics for a while. Not sure about his written comments... He gets a message, "Your post will be posted after it has been reviewed", but then it/they never show up...
