It would be nice if the login would work with such apps as Lastpass for easier access on iOS.

LizSTGLaneLtd

We will look into that - thank you!

Ha ha! In before the official release.  Also lastpass worked ok on desktop using chrome.

The registration page says I can use underscores in my user name. However, when I tried to do so and submit, your validation logic told me I had an error in my input and that underscore was an illegal character in my user name. Once you fix this, hopefully I can change my user name to add the desired underscore.

Also, you need to change the font size and color for the text input box that I am typing into at the moment. I am on my iPad and the font size is too small and the dark gray text on a light gray background does not provide enough contrast to easily read. I don't use pipesmagazine.com because their font size is too small.

A couple more... A "like" button for posts would be great. Also, the "edit thumbnail" functionality does not work when on an iPad.

Not sure how to upload a picture for my profile.

BigBalldBenny

Never mind! Figured it out!

Won't let me type a comment while on my Kindle fire.

Heard about this via the Country Squire Radio podcast; man, this site is pretty slick!

Unlike the others, I've yet to figure out how to upload a profile picture. It's all a learning process, you know.

To heck with it - the site keeps uploading all of my photos sideways. I'll just skip that then.

Ran into some issues trying to post a lot of content, gave me a character limitation on my post about Indonesian Tobacco.

I ran into an issue when I was registering - regarding my password.  It said the password wasn't strong enough; however, it was much stronger than the password I had to settle on.  I'm not sure what the limitations on passwords are, but it did follow the requirements provided on the registration page.  Maybe it was too long or had an unsupported character in it.  I think this would be easily fixed by providing more guidelines for the password on the registration page.

Will you add the option to log in with the username and not just our email?

Mangoandy

A feature which allows you to alter/change your UserName?

Having issues logging with Safari from either my Mac laptop or from my iPhone. When logging in, it just says "authenticating" but never gets gets past that. On a whim, tried logging in with google chrome on my phone and it worked immediately. Wanted to bring your attention to this so it could be addressed

@ALCordray I had the same issue last night with the site. I was using Chrome from my desktop and the "authenticating" would just keep authenticating lol. Today I haven't had any issues across my devices.

HaddoKen

I have the authenticating issue on my iPhone using safari as well.

thewanderingdude

I'm having the authenticating issues as well now on my iphone. In both safari and chrome.

PappyJoe

I would suggest This Pipe Life open a twitter account also. 

CharleneSTGLaneLTD

Thanks everyone for your feedback! We are looking into all your comments!

piperdave

PappyJoe  I agree with PappyJoe a Twitter account also would be nice.

CharleneSTGLaneLTD

@pappyJoe and @piperdave what would you guys be interested in seeing on twitter?

PappyJoe

interesting comments relating to pipes and tobacco. Comments on the FDA rules they are planning to shove down our throats. 

piperdave

@CharleneSTGLaneLTD
I agree with PappyJoe interesting comments and updates would be helpful. I have
a twitter account that I check the feed on from my phone and who I follow on
twitter. With a twitter account I could follow small details from ThisPipeLife
that would then update me and I could login to the website and get more
information/details. ALSO I noticed that
KristySTGLaneLTD started the Discussion “Hashtag your photos
to be featured on the Flame!” with the details of Hashtaging your Instagram and Tumblr
photos with #thispipelife for a chance to be featured on The Flame on the main page.  I think having a twitter account
would help ThisPipeLife have a larger audience not just those on Instagram and
Tumblr. Just my thoughts, thank you for asking.

CharleneSTGLaneLTD

@PappyJoe and @Piperdave Thanks for your comments! we will look into creating a twitter!

Abreathawayfromglory

am I the only one that has a problem logging on with my iphone browser?

Padraig

I'm having a problem posting comments from my Android phone. Whenever I touch the comment box, the keyboard pops up and then disappears as though the page has refreshed. It does allow me to paste in text copied from another program though (that's how I'm writing this).

piperdave

@abreathawayfromglory sorry I don't have an iPhone so I wouldn't be able to say. I have had a couple of issues logging in from my PC while it showed authenticating my user name and PW it then jumped directly to the new user screen with all the open fields for me to sign up. @padraig I tried to comment with my tablet (andriod OS) any I had some issues as well (using chrome browser). My tablet is a bit older though so it may be with it's version. My phone is andriod but I have not tried comments from it yet just logged in and viewed the discussions (using chrome browser), I will have to try it. I mainly use my desktop with a Chrome browser of course.

leshemp1

I'm having the same issues as Padraig described. I'm actually typing into google address bar, copying then pasting this comment into the comment box

CharleneSTGLaneLTD

Thanks everyone! We'll look into both Android and Iphone issues.

Jaynaff

It would be nice to be able to reply directly to someone else's comment on a thread (maybe a sub-thread, instead of having to tag people's names in another comment on the main thread).
