@dimopoulos When I tell you this update is EVERYTHING!!! I was work at this morning when I first logged in to see the new site and I was so disappointed because there were so many kinks. I thought it was gonna stay like that. But now I got home and wow the site interface and updates are SO CLEAN and well run. Thank you for these well needed updates and features! I see true growth and expansion for this forum in the future!

@dimopoulos everyte I leave the Internet browser and use an app on my phone or view another webpage I come back to the forum and have to sign in again (despite having the "keep me logged in" button checked.

I view from my phone.

Is there something I can do to fix this?

 

[dimopoulos]

@LovelyLouboutin I have not experienced this either on the iPad or an android tabled. It could be something related to your phone but I will check the logs anyway to make sure that it is not something on this end.

Is there a way to see most recent posts from any board a la the "current" tab in the app? I sure loved that. Best way to see what's news on the forum throughout.

I think you are getting the message because you were trying to use the old LHCF app on your phone or tablet to access the site. I got the same message but from what I recall from a previous admin post, the app is no longer going to be working or supported after the conversion to the new website platform. I think we now have to use our internet browser to access the new mobile friendly website.

I'm experiencing the same problem on my iPhone

ETA: The only way I was able to get this to work was to download Chrome on my iPad and iPhone. Now my password is being retained and I'm not having to re-enter it every time. The only downside is that I can't add a Chrome bookmark directly onto my home screen, but it's probably not a big deal since I'll probably only use Chrome to access LHCF. HTH!

@4mia You will have to use your browser on your galaxy to access the forum. The app we had is no longer valid i.e. does not connect to our forum.

I like the upgraded forum and as an app user it works better on my phone than I anticipated but I still miss the app. The things I miss the most from the app are

-- the stickies were a separate tab so I didn't have to scroll past them all the time. They take up a lot of screen space. Is there a way to mimic this with the web page?

-- more seemed to fit on a page with the app even though the font was larger and easier to read

-- on the app "pages" seemed to load faster.

Are there any plans to have an app again in the future? I would even be willing to pay for an app

The upgrade log was all manual. I was on the computer and updating the "forum closed" message every so often. Still it served its purpose by keeping you all informed.

I figured. It was a good decision to post that. I think members appreciate being kept in the loop.

 

[GettingKinky]

I just tried to upload a picture from the camera roll on my phone and it's taking forever. Am I doing something wrong?

 

[Honey Bee]

We need more smilies.

Is there a personal page for us? Like the old user cp?

Yeah, click on your username at the top and then click on "your profile page."

 

[JustSitNBePretty]

That is not a standard feature of this forum. The reason behind it is search engine optimization. If everyone has the same number of posts per page then the cross linking (copy url and paste it somewhere else in another topic) will not break things.

I will increase it to 20 per page.

Can you increase it to 30? Or am I asking for too much?

Wow, I didn't know you were personally inputting the information.

@dimopoulos my friend is still having trouble.
she said:
"in order to complete your registration at Long Hair Care Forum, you need to confirm your account by following the link below."
I click the link and it says it cannot confirm.

She's not receiving the email.

It should be 20 conversations 40 messages. Is that Ok with everyone?

I will send you a message when I get back home to resolve this.

Yep. Very few hours of sleep during the upgrade :/

You did a great job. I'm loving it. Said good bye to some old features but saying hello to some new features. All in all its very good.

 

[Cattypus1]

As one IT professional to another, thank you! Sometimes it just has to be taken down.

Well seeing as you asked...... lol I prefer 20 or the most 30 msgs. I hate having to scroll through all 40 msgs
