Welcome to Last Sparrow Tattoo Forum: feedback

[tammy]

Welcome to LST. We are happy that you have decided to join our new venture.

Please let us know if there is anything we can do to improve your experience here.

I think that should have a place just to talk about creation, drawing, painting, techniques and stuff like that too... well, its just an idea...

[tammy]

donchuckcarvalho, that is a GREAT idea and we were actually tossing it around.

We'll just call it Tattoo Design and let you all at it!

I'll set it up now...

[Chris]

i dont know if its my computer here or this site but everytime i flip form page to page i have to refresh it or i end up posting more than once or not at all.

[mario desa]

we need a "tattooers only" section, please.

[dari]

Mario, this is what "the club" section is for, we just haven't used it yet, we'll get on it.

[Valerie Vargas]

i dont know why but i find the number of sections intimidating. kinda makes me doubt myself as to where to post and also it makes it a bit of a job finding everything thats going on. personally i'd prefer less sections, maybe as the forum becomes more popular, add them back if needed?

Hi,

I wanted to know what happened to the editing feature. I posted a comment and then a day later realized there was a mistake and I am pretty sure I was able to edit my post just by clicking something at the bottom if the page. Did this feature used to exist or was I really just dreaming?

2min later.....

Haha I just looked a my post and the edit button was there(hence this new addition to my comment) but it's not available on all the various threads, how come??

You should be able to edit any of YOUR post at any time. If you find otherwise please PM a moderator with the link so we can look into, thanks!

[tammy]

there is actually a time limit on when you can edit posts...usually 1 hr. but if it is something really urgent a mod may be able to do it for you.

[Wedge]

Fairly insignificant I know but I wonder if the "initiation" thread should be moved more towards the top of the page so new members can see it easier without scrolling to the bottom?

I think that's a pretty good idea, any other moderators think that maybe we could put it after new/updates, but before the general forum?

[Ursula]

I just wanted to mention something to do with message sizes..

I noticed when I try to make a post that's only one word, like "Nice!" on a photo I get the message "Your message is too short please lengthen it to at least 5 characters" Is there any way this can be removed? Or is it another trick to block spammers?

[gougetheeyes]

Just write: Nice!!!!!!

[Ursula]

yeah i have been hahaha... but there's been other ones where 4 extra exclamation points would have been weird!

I was more just curious as to why the 5 character limit was in place

[Steve]

I changed the minimum post limit to 4 characters. The idea is that we want to encourage people to add more than one word posts, but it does make sense to be able to say 'nice!' as a picture comment. :) Cheers.

[Valerie Vargas]

not really related to the forum itself but i just read somewhere that youtube are now allowing uploads of up to 10hrs. maybe its worth putting the older and longer interviews like the juan puente one into a single video?

[Steve]

Yes - thank god they lifted the 15 min time limit. I had considered re-doing the older ones a while ago, thanks for reminding me - I'll put that officially on the 'to do' list! Should be able to get to it w/in a few weeks. Cheers.

[Jaycel Adkins]

Hello,

Has there been any suggestions for making the audio of the interviews available as mp3 files? Could be interesting to post them up onto itunes, which might drive some traffic to this forums?

Just a thought and I would definitely download them to listen while doing other things for sure!

We have never discussed it......but now we will, thanks.

[Steve]

Great idea re: audio, we're also considering transcribing them to text.

Also, heads up that the Juan, Bryan and Freddy videos have been re-posted as single files - stay tuned for Nick and Josh.

[Jaycel Adkins]

Steve: Sweet! I like listening to the videos very much and having them as one file makes it easier to just let them play.

Hopes there is a way to do the podcast angle: Great way to listen to the interviews while driving, working out, etc.

[Steve]

Happy to report that all of the videos have now been converted to single files for your viewing pleasure. enjoy.

[Jaycel Adkins]

I was curious about the possibility of putting up 'a wall' or something somewhere on the forum, I have seen 'chatboxes' on some sites where people can put up a quick link or 'check this out' text, rather than putting a new thread up.

edit: looked at the forum page and there quite a few boxes/categories already....perhaps not then, but just a thought.

Been flipping through old threads, great times!

[tammy]

we can add a chat box but it really slows down the site performance and chatboxes and easily compromised so sites can get hacked..

also chats cannot be archived so the thread you post may disappear within minutes depending on how busy the chat is.
