@Alyssa646

I think you may have clicked on the wrong link in the email. The first one is a link to the site in general, the second, messier one at the bottom is the link to automatically login.

Did you receive your password reset email too? (it’s the second link you need in that one as well)

@Bearjamin Excellent addition to the My Reviews topic.

Just an FYI, when you copy your review text from the shopping site you get a couple of extra snippets of unwanted guff in there that you may want to edit out:

@PKH

@For_Your_Eyes_Only_x I’ve been enjoying reading your reviews In case you didn’t notice, I just wanted to tell you - When you copy the text of your review from the LH site to post on the forum, a sentence or two into the review, the review title will be inserted. Ex:

If you have hesitations about going down Read more about review stating Berry Niceon your OH due to smells or tastes, this is ideal.

The sleeve provides plenty of useful information thRead more about review stating Loving Our Planet IS Orgasmicat I… absolutely definitely ignored to begin with because I was so keen to get my hands on the toy.

@Ian_Chimp Oops! Thanks for that!

[Alyssa646]

I’ll not even try to justify the idiocy of my actions
thanks for explaining though @Ian_Chimp

[PKH]

Do I need to close the poll at any point, or is it ok to just leave it open?

I own it and…

• I recommend it
• I am not a fan

[Ian_Chimp]

I leave them open.

No worries. I’m just glad you got it sorted.

And a happy bonus is that I now know more about the password system.

AUS Deal of the Day

Lovehoney Triple Tickler Realistic Clear G-Spot Dildo Vibrator 5.5 Inch
$44.95 $27.00 (40% off)

Batteries Required: 2 X AA

I own it and…

• I recommend it
• I am not a fan

Let’s see if this works, also how do I add in the Aus flag @Ian_Chimp is it just an emoji

[Ian_Chimp]

That’s looking pretty good.

Couple of tweaks:

• The product link should go to the full product page rather than the DOTD one (otherwise it will be out of date the next day, and the dotd page is a summary and doesn’t include reviews, etc even when refreshed)
• You can make the image a little more proportional by changing the size from 375x500 to 200x265

The flag is just an emoji. We’ve put the UK and US one in the title of the topic rather than in each post, but a few format quirks may help differentiate multiple special offer topics from each other? I’m not sure. What do you reckon @Peitho @PKH - how consistent does the format need to be?

---

And the other useful bit for when you start the topic itself is embedding a link to the Aus special offer page in the topic header:

@Ian_Chimp

For that you paste the link in the title box first, and it should generate a onebox in the preview. If you publish that, you can then change the title to something more suitable afterwards.

It took me a couple of practices to get it right.

---

Another top tip:

If you scroll down to the order by phone section on the dotd page, you can grab the product code and tap that into the search bar and it will take you straight to the full product page:

[Peitho]

I like consistency but that’s probably more to do with my slight OCD than anything else (and I already break it with just putting the picture link with whatever it saves it as rather than the more searchable descriptive one you use )

@AshhhDTD I think really it’s up to whoever is running the thread how they want it to look little tweak wise - I did pop a Pumpkin in the date header yesterday but otherwise stick to @Ian_Chimp 's format (which I like a lot). However the point about the link going to the product page rather than the DOTD page definitely needs to happen or previous post links won’t work to the correct products.

[PKH]

If you guys have any adjustments you want to make to the DOTD template, so they’re all looking the same, I’m down, just let me know

@Peitho @AshhhDTD I don’t know if it’s just the browser I use (Safari), but your DOTD photos don’t load for me, they’re just an outlined white box with a little blue box with a question mark inside. @Ian_Chimp’s load as pictures

That’s interesting. This one and @Peitho’s are webp rather than a jpeg:


I’ll have a Google.

Google is saying that safari supports webp from version 14 (September 2020). Is it possible for you to update your browser? @PKH

[Peitho]

@PKH

Oh that’s not good . I think, @Ian_Chimp , you do the copy and paste picture thing, don’t you? I can’t do that on my phone so save the pictures from the site and upload them to the forum. By default they are .webp which I always thought was fine. Maybe I should convert before uploading?

[PKH]

I usually right click, then download image, then when I upload it, it’s a jpeg

[Peitho]

I do that but it’s a .webp

[PKH]

Sorry, I just looked and the one I click says “save image to downloads.”

[ I don’t really know, I’m not super tech savvy ]

[Ian_Chimp]

I copy and paste. There are a few ways depending on device. @Peitho’s Samsung is particularly awkward.

I’ve added a tip to the post above with a quick way to get from the DOTD summary page to the product page itself:

If you scroll down to the order by phone section on the dotd page, you can grab the product code and tap that into the search bar and it will take you straight to the full product page:

Any luck on updating your browser?

[PKH]

I’ll have to have my husband do it for me so that I don’t break my computer

( @Peitho @AshhhDTD Sorry, I guess I’m not up to date, carry on )

[Peitho]

Just trying…

So if I use Chrome I can do the copy and paste thing which is easier and produces .jpeg’s. Saving from Chrome I still get .webp’s

I never normally use Chrome on my phone… just had to go through all the set up stuff . It does keep asking me if I want to open new pages in Lovehoney app or Samsung Internet instead but with a bit of a push will stay here. Maybe I’ll use Chrome for LH today and see how I get on.

@PKH does the image above show for you?
