Helpful tips for Lovehoney forum use - 2.0

Is there a way to unmute a specific post if you’re “watching” a category?

For example, I am “watching” the Testers category, and so get a notification every time there is a post in any of the threads. Is it possible for me to then “unwatch” a specific post in that category once I’ve seen it and posted?

I’m guessing not but thought I’d check in case there was a magical way!

Yup. :+1: At the bottom of the topic there’s a Watching/Tracking/Normal/Mute box you can change.

But you only need the Testers category notification on Watching First Post (bell with a 1 in it) to get a notification for all the new Tester Topics (including the Secret Testers). :+1:

And there’s a bit more general info in Notifications

Sorry, possible newb question…

I was following one of links at the top of the Members Lingerie Uploads Appreciation

https://www.lovehoney.co.uk/community/photos/

I can see all the thumbnails, but if I click on any only see a blue line. under the title rather than an image.

Is it because I am too new to the site, or a glitch?
(am logged in on both pages)

It’s the gallery from the old forum, the thumbnails are all that’s left and you are unable to see the actual pictures. I would have thought they’d have been gone by now.

That’s the old gallery. :slightly_smiling_face: All the uploaded members photos on this new site can be found in Your Photos. :+1:

Ah OK, it was just that some of the photos are recent (July).
It is just transitioning to the the site?

The new site only got swopped over on August 4th. None of those pictures will be migrated over, and that page will (eventually) be deleted. :+1:

Quoting a Closed Topic

I’ve been finding quoting the Big Review Guide really useful recently, but I’ve noticed quoting a closed topic isn’t as easy as quoting an open one. Luckily I have a workaround. :slightly_smiling_face:

If you open your reply editor in any other open topic and start typing, then minimise it and navigate to the closed topic you wish to quote from (eg the Big Review Guide), expand the reply window again, and you can then highlight quote as normal. :+1:

NB You must have your reply window expanded for it to drop the quote into the existing draft (on my phone I need to minimise the keyboard to free up screen space). If the reply editor is minimised quoting will open a new ‘reply as linked topic’ message and put the quote in there. But if that does happen you can simply copy the quote section and navigate back to the original reply and paste it in there :+1:

How do you merge two posts on the same subject?

I believe that’s something that @Lovehoney_Brenna has to use her mod magic to do but you can flag one as a duplicate and pop that in the title. Also post a link to the original thread clearly in the comments to make it easier for her :blush:

The swanky new guides have section headers in them, so you can copy these and send people right to the info they need if you don’t fancy the faff with the quoting. :slightly_smiling_face::+1:

Good evening,

I have been a member here for seven years, but admit to not being much of a user in the past. Things have changed (retired) and I have more time.
I was reading further up that we can download the Forum App to our mobiles (quote - “To download the forum app to your phone open your browser menu on a forum page and tap ‘install app’”)
I am using Android 6.0 and cannot see the option anywhere to install the app. Are you able to post a screen shot here please. I am tech savvy but am wondering if that link is no longer available.
Thank you

Hello and welcome @Latino_Caliente :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m using an Honor 9, with Android 9 and Chrome browser:

It could be in your menu as ‘add to homepage’ or similar?

Alternatively, if this is the first time you’ve logged on to the forum on this device you should have had a banner pop up at the top that asked you if you’d like to install the app. If you dismissed it, you can get it back by clearing your cookies. :+1::slightly_smiling_face:

Just to chime in… I have no idea where to find this menu or the app :see_no_evil:.

Samsung A90, Android 11, Samsung Internet.

I can bookmark or save a page or “Quick Access” it whatever that is, but can’t find an app anywhere. Is the app basically just a quick launch to the forum?

Doesn’t actually bother me as I always have the forum open in a tab so don’t see any benefit of the app to me but I have no idea where to find it if I did want it! :rofl:

I think ‘app’ overstates it a bit. :slightly_smiling_face: It’s a separate browser window for the forum/a quick launch. I’ve reverted to using the forum in my regular browser tabs though, as it makes flicking back and forth between different forum pages and the shopping site easier.

I’ve just downloaded the Samsung Internet Browser, and it’s under:

Burger Menu (bottom right) → Add Page to → Home screen

It describes it as a shortcut. Chrome did too until recently. It seems the same thing though.

If i remember correctly it was “Add to homepage” on my Samsung phone.

Don’t know what the burger menu is but I can add the page to my home screen, just thought the app might have a bit more to it. Think I’ll stick with my normal tab page, as you say, easier flicking to and fro for other pages :+1:
