Thanks for your help. On Android 6.01, it is as you say āAdd to Homescreenā, but all that does is add what is effectively a short cut to the Forum Page (which show all the subject lines!)
In my case this is not ideal. Whilst my phone is password protected, once open, all my apps and shortcuts are on show.
Iāve done a bit of searching and what suits me better is to use āIncognito Modeā and there are Chrome extensions that hide Bookmarks. This I feel a bit more secure for the way I browse LH.
Itās me again with another small question. I am still getting used to the Forum and if I look at another memberās profile that isnāt set to āPrivateā I can see a web link which I assumed would open up with more details.
For example if I look at @Green_Eyed_Girl (above here ^^^) I can see that her profile isnāt Private and she has a web link in her name.
But, if I click on that link I get this message " Oh no! Weāre really sorry but this page is no longer available" and the LH Home Page pops up.
Would I be right in assuming that all those member profile links are now broken after the Forum Upgrade last year?
Hope that all make sense
Thatās right. Theyāre the links to our old community profiles. Unfortunately they were deleted in the main website update a few months ago, so are no longer viewable. Lots of people still have them in their forum profiles though as they havenāt had a tidy up.
If you paste a link into the title box when you create a topic it will embed the link under the topic title. You can then change the title to something more descriptive.
However, if you flark up embedding a link in your new topic title or realise you forgot to add one, itās actually possible to edit one in later, rather than scrub and start over.
You need to edit the OP itself (not just the title), and temporarily cut and paste all of the existing content to somewhere else for safe-keeping. Once blank, you can then paste your link into the title box and you should see it generate a onebox in the body text. This should then embed the link into the topic header.
You can then save that, re-open it, and copy paste the original content back in that you saved to one side. And that should be that.
There are a couple of new features that may make forum life a little easier - a āfast editā, and the ability to remove your votes from polls.
To use the fast edit, highlight some text in one of your own posts (one thatās within your edit window), and an āeditā button should appear alongside the quote button. That will open up a mini edit window to make small typo-style changes in. If what you select is too complex for a fast edit, it will bring up the composer in edit mode instead.
And to remove your vote from a poll, simply click āshow voteā and you can then use the āremove voteā button or de-select your choice(s) to remove your vote.
Now we are no longer limited to just , we can also use and too!
To bring up the Reactions panel, long-press (or hover your mouse over) an empty heart icon on one of someoneās posts, and select a suitable reaction from the pop-out menu.
The still acts as āLikeā in the forum sense, and is the only one that gets counted for Badges, user lists, etc.
I donāt believe the rest are limited per day in the same way Likes are, so I think you can React to as many posts as you want to. (if anyone hits any limits, come and let us know and Iāll update this info).
Yay for you and your always helpful info. I stumbled across these a moment ago and knew I would find something from you with an update or helpful tip. Thanks Mr Chimp
Is it just me or do these not work for everyone? Iām using Samsung S9 with the latest update. But when I hold on the like symbol it doesnāt always come up with the other reactions on top. I have to click or hold 4/5 times after that and it seems to be intermittent? Am I doing something wrong?
Thereās a glitch with it with Samsungs for some reason. I think @Peitho has some semi-workarounds, but she consistently gives it a sad face whenever the subject comes up, so I donāt think theyāre magic.
I do like to be consistent with my sad face response @Ian_Chimp
No, @Forever_his , I donāt think youāre doing anything wrong. I have the exact same problem with my A90 and it is irksome. Usually, I have to normally ālikeā a post first before I can āreactā. After an initial like I can long press and the options will stay up to select from (sometimes). This can still be a hassle, often they just flick up rather than staying up and I canāt get the one I want. The forum then gets cross with me and tells me Iām reacting too fast and to wait (Iāve been told between 2 seconds and 5 minutes) and try again. When told 5 minutes, it did work within a few seconds but itās an unwanted annoyance so for the most part I just ālikeā posts.
Definitely, as you say, intermittent and also rather irritating.
