Hi everyone, this is a re-posting of some issues that came up in another thread. I wanted to give this a little more visibility. Thanks for reading!
iPad Compatibility / Editor Issues:
I'm still looking for way to enable a simple post editor by default that works on all devices. This is not particularly easy to configure on the Drupal backend that we use, which is why I have been holding off. But I hope to have a solution soon. Meanwhile, to post with an iPad or smartphone, please expand the "Input format" menu below the post editor and click on "No GUI Editor". The advanced post editor will still be enabled for those who need advanced functionality for reviews, etc.
Fixed. Please see the update to this post.
Inappropriate Content
This is something that does concern me a lot. It's true that most of us dislike using forums that are heavily censored or moderated in a dictatorial way. Some other forums block users or delete posts about flashlight products at the whim of a moderator that doesn't share that opinion. For that reason, BLF was created for users to freely express their opinions about flashlight products. But please keep in mind that this lack of restrictions applies strictly to discussions about flashlight products and should not be confused with freedom to discuss lewd (dirty) topics. The goal of BLF has always been to offer clean, family-friendly content that follows the site rules. So I would like to request that anybody who has posted lewd (dirty) images or used language that is inappropriate for children to please go back and remove it from their posts. I always try to kindly warn users via a PM if I personally notice inappropriate content, and I ask them to remove it. But I can't read every single post on BLF. So please do me a favor and review your own posts from the standpoint of a child on his dad's lap or a woman looking over her husband's shoulder. And please PM me if offensive posts aren't fixed up within a few days from now.
Thanks to everyone for their patience and for making an effort to keep things clean around here. Have fun!
