    New 'Like' System

    in Bugs, Issues, & "How To" Questions

    Posted

    hey guys unfortunately still no luck on this. for now the option to like isn't available in tapatalk at least - so people won't waste their time trying to use it there unsuccessfully.

    i know that this is an important feature but the gremlins are against us on this one.

    I'm going to work on setting up a new testing environment to see if i can chase down the cause there but don't hold your breath for a speedy fix.. just being realistic.

    Thanks for being the best community in the universe and for your ongoing patience.

    Eventually the site will work the same on a mobile device as it does on a monitor (responsive) and we'll have access to all of the same features on both.

    LST Now supports the TapaTalk Mobile App

    I use TapaTalk on my tablet. Very happy to see that you have added it here! (BTW, "Like" works for me, although it gives an error)

    The Like feature appear to work from Tapatalk, but then when you refresh you'll notice that your like has disappeared.

    This is an ongoing issue that has not been resolved by Tapatalk yet, several other forum owners are complaining about the same thing.

    There is even a different 'like' system that I would be willing to switch to, but it also does not work in Tapatalk.

    Unfortunately there is no other forum app out there that has supports this feature either.

    I do plan to migrate LST to a new software platform entirely sometime in the next year hopefully, and once that is done, we wont even need tapatalk because the site will be fully responsive and will just reflow to work on any size screen, complete with all the features that work on the full desktop size.

    Tapatalk will also work on the new version, and the like system does work in that one if you prefer tapatalk over the 'responsive' version for some reason.

    Slightly Better Search Method

    in Forum Suggestions and Feedback

    Posted

    We all know the search function built into this website can be a little clunky. Through some trial and error I discovered a search method that will direct you to the exact page of the thread where you can find the words you search for.

    Here is a quick example:

    I want to find posts that include the words "Steve Boltz"

    Go to Google

    Type "Steve Boltz site:Tattoo Forum | Last Sparrow Tattoo" into the search box and click search.

    This might be helpful in discovering who was the first person to use the term "squid pants" on LST.

    Hey guys,

    I went ahead and implemented google search via the LST search box - so now we have site-wide search there that should match what you find in google.

    I haven't tested extensively yet, so please let me know of any wonkyness.

    enjoy

    Like Share Buttons Not Showing Up

    in Bugs, Issues, & "How To" Questions

    Posted

    I don't know if it's the same issue, but the Facebook login button was missing for a little while today, and refreshing didn't help, so I couldn't login. It returned later...

    That's a weird one. Seems like both of these issues could be related to your browser session - like it thinks you're already logged in or not logged in w/ the 'like' button not showing up.

    I guess try logging in and out, or try a different browser next time it happens.

    Let me know if it persists - and especially if you can let me know how to reproduce the issue so I can try to diagnose.

    Thanks again for the feedback folks, much appreciated.

    How to upload/attach images to your posts

    in Bugs, Issues, & "How To" Questions

    Posted

    Is there a way to change the size of an image I want to post from a URL? I've seen formatting like this elsewhere that allows you to specify a different size with the IMG tag, but it doesn't seem to work here, even if I make sure the new size maintains the same aspect ratio as the original.

    Thanks.

    Seems like that should work, but you are right that it doesn't seem to. I'll see if there's a solution for that, but for now the answer is no.

    Cheers
