@pappyjoe I agree with you. I think as this forum gets larger and more active people there will be more categories popping up. As much as it is hinted at I think it might be nice to have a cigar category so we can chat about that.
I love how it shows the most recently posted on discussions but trying to find a specific one that you don’t remember is kind of difficult with them not being organized by any other manner. It would be nice at least to have a feature to organize by creation date or name (Alphabetically).
Also, when going back through the discussions it would nice to be obvious what page number your on so you can go to the next page.
It seems that some have taken offense to the "General" category being used for posting non-tobacco related topics. So a subcategory for Non-Tobacco related subjects would offer people a place to post those items. Those who didn't want to read them would be subjected to having to even see the titles.
OK, I am not sure if anyone has commented on this in a while? I informed the gentlemen at the STGLANELIMITED table about some of the issues I have been having with THISPIPELIFE.
-I use my laptop Windows 10 OS and I have lost the ability to edit any post; in the past it would give you a minute or 2 to perform an edit before it was solidified. I also cannot upload any photos using the insert image icon from my local desktop maybe a windows bug? (example in the discussion Baccy Flap)
-I use an Android phone and I still cannot post ANY comments at all, I showed an example of this to the gentlemen at the Columbus 2016 NASPC show. When I attempt to post comments the keyboard pops-up then right back down not even allowing 1 letter to be pressed?
I really enjoy this forum and these discussions and want to use it more but these bugs make it hard to interact unless I am sitting at a desktop PC or my laptop. Any news or info is greatly appreciated.
@piperdave - I can only post photos when on a computer. It doesn't work with my iphone or ipad either. In fact, I can sign in on my iPad but can't on my iPhone.
That is good to hear. Just to echo what @piperdave and @PappyJoe said. I can only post comments when on my desktop and inserting images is hit and miss. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does nothing. Mobile wise I use a Windows 10 Mobile/phone device which I can sign into and browse the site fine with but trying to post comments with the keyboard does the exact same thing as @piperdave Android phone.
I'm still having issues with the underline function, once I'm in it , I can't get out of it, it underlines everything so I don't even use it anymore. Also when I try to use the site on my iPhone 6 it takes along time to load, it flashes "authenticating" for several minutes before it will finally load, and then it won't let me post anything, it says to sign in to post which I am signed in.
In "Famous Pipe Smokers" I am not seeing Jud's images but just a box saying "Image hosted by Angelfire". is this true for others, or is there something I can do to get the images?
Concerning the duplicates mentioned there, you can search the site before posting. But wouldn't it be handy if they could add the search function right on these pages?
Another suggestion, a "How To" page. I spent forever figuring out a way to post images, and even then it came out huge.
Yet another suggestion, put the most recent posts on page one, or at least put the page selection boxes at the top of the page as well as at the bottom to prevent so much scrolling.
@thewanderingdude - I've given up on trying to get anything on The Flame. I've tagged photos as told but the never get picked. They are not bad photos either. I'm a retired photojournalist.
Has anyone else stopped getting the "Congratulations" pop-up on log-in? This seems to have started this week. I tried from my lap top and cell, same results.
I've had the same thing happening here over the last few days. However, this morning when I logged on, I clicked on "learn more" on the page that refers to the pipe giveaway. When I did that, the Congratulations screen popped right up.
@thewanderingdude@pappyjoe Both tumblr and Instagram have changed their API and aren't allowing new photos to be pulled into The Flame. We're trying to find a workaround, but we're hoping the sites revert their policies.
