AuburnJen 772 Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Thank you!!! Yes, the design is for your phone. Since most of you will have the most use of it during the time you will have your phone and not the computer, right now, that is the design. By next summer, the program will determine whether you are accessing it from a phone, computer, iPad, etc and what browser you are using and adjust the setting based on what information is sent back from your device. We are still uploading pictures and must protect the rights of the people who are taking the pictures. So, there are things being done behind the scenes before they are loaded.

Lil Lisa 53 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 You can go to http://www.loop3000....tedb/index.html using IE9 - but you really should consider using a different browser (Firefox and Chrome are good ones).Get off your browser soapbox, Ed. I would assume that Chris and Jen will want this to be available to the broadest audience possible. The problem with the app is that the CSS isn't standards compliant in IE or Firefox for the supplied doctype. It does work in chrome and Safari. These are both browsers that have been 'tweaked' to work in the mobile world. Since the webkit you are using is designed to create a mobile app, that makes sense. The app does work in IE and Firefox, but you can't see the textbox with those browsers because the cool stuff like the background doesn't render. That leaves you with a white textbox against a white background which is pretty much invisible. Let me know if you need help sorting this out, Chris.Sorry for the :techno: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MandMandMandMandM 31 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 I have IE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lil Lisa 53 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 I have IE Press the Ctrl key and the A key at the same time and you will see where the textbox is at the top of the page. Then you can type the site number in it. Think of it as a 'treasure hunt'. Once you have put in a number, press the enter key to get the site info. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lil Lisa 53 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Site info shows up:) but no pic?For me some had pics and some didn't. Maybe pics aren't available for all of the sites? Chris or Jen would be able to answer that. Try site 417. That one worked for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MandMandMandMandM 31 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 I think you might be right Lisa. Some had pics & some didn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Let me know if you need help sorting this out, Chris.Sorry for the :techno:You are right, on the browsers, it is creating the white on white, but not on his computer for some reason. It is programmed to put a blue background and a white box. So, as I have said, it is a work in process and using your phone will obviously work better right now that your computer. Once all the parameters are programmed in, the application will find out what type of device and browser is asking for the information and automatically resize the pictures from three different databases and adjust the settings to fit the device and browser. So, until then, I politely ask that you use the application as something to play with and hopefully it can provide some information. I gave out the information because mainly I want y'all to know it is there and as it grows and becomes more valuable, you won't ever want to go to the fort without it.

The key is figuring out which 'stuff' is missing from the server version and getting it up there to share with the rest of the world. It is going to be a great application. Keep up the great work, Chris.Could you post the link as a link?I can't get my stupid (smart) phone to accept it when I type it in.Thanks.Here you go: www.loop3000.com/sitedb/index.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

doodlebug....Cherie 461 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I like to push buttons and I just got a Nook tablet for Christmas. I am in button pushing heaven. Is there anything I need to know that would help me with FF on that device? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuburnJen 772 Posted December 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 use the full version, not the mobile and you will have less troublei would try both and see which you are most comfortable with...remember, you cannot see avatars and tags with the mobile version Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doodlebug....Cherie 461 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I found that button right away. It does make it a lot easier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RoguePony 13 Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 What a great idea! I tried the link and entered in 2 different site numbers. Did it from my PC with Firefox but will try with my phone next. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuburnJen 772 Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Ok, we have uploaded all of the pictures that we know of that have been sent in by our wonderful family of fiends. I know there are a couple missing. If you can post the missing in the members section under site pics, I will be glad to get the pictures taken by the Fiends this weekend, including those sites which have semi-permanent features. We can put a note there so no one is confused. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RoguePony 13 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Here's an idea: when you feel it's ready, make a QR code for it and post it to the site. That way, people can scan it with smartphones and jump right there, making it easier. I haven't made one yet, but I researched it and QR codes are free and easy to make.
