Where did the ability to quote, bold, italicize, etc go in the post editor? Iy would be really nice to have that function back.
Good question. I noticed it too. A change must have been made to the board software. I will look into it.
Update. The problem was caused in a new release. I put in temporary code to get around it until the developer addresses it directly.
I woke up and thought maybe Brian had pulled the plug on us on opening day!!
Glad to see we are back in business.
There has been a nagging problem with password resets which appear to be caused by two pieces of site code not working together. There may be a few short (5-20 minute) late evening outages this week for diagnosis and testing. Will try to keep you informed…
Finally, the long standing password reset process not working problem has been resolved.
However, a new problem has arisen. The capability to receive automatic notification of new articles on the site stopped working several weeks ago. The code is obsolete and out of support. It looks like I am going to have to add a new product to do the same function, but I have as of yet been unable to find the list of email addresses of prior subscribers. We may have to start over again. If so, I will apologize now.
I’ve been having issues the last couple of weeks on mobile where it’s giving me a “site is not available” error when I go to post. I then have to refresh and resubmit the post through the prompt and it goes through fine. I dunno if anyone else is having the same issue or not, but I wanted to make mention of it.
A reader emailed me with these questions:
Is there a way to tell what threads you posted in without requesting emails notifying you when someone has posted in the thread? You could get 100 emails in one day doing this. Also how do you reply to someone. The reply button doesn’t work. Is there something else you have to do or is it a technical issue like a browser issue, etc. Thanks in advance.
My response:
If you click on your userid name anywhere on the forum, you will be taken to a page that has choices on the left. Two of them are “Replies Created” and “Topics Started”. Click on one of them and you will see all threads that you commented in or only the threads you started (first post).
You cannot reply to a user privately. The forum only supports public comments in the discussion threads. When responding to someone, I often copy and paste the part of the original post that I am responding to. That way readers know what I am talking about.
