Re: Problems with the forum

[Katiedot]

It's an auto thing to stop spammers from laying waste to this forum. Really sorry, I know it's a pain in the backside.

[melbert]

That's okay Katie! I will just have to learn to s l o w d o w n!!!

this doesn't work for over a week now katiedot why ? and how to solve ......

[Katiedot]

That's weird. It works for me but I can imagine that must be a complete nuisance for you. Is anyone else having problems with this?

[Joanna]

Only occasionally it doesn't show new posts and then I find some later.

While we're on the subject.... is there a way to go to the last post that you've read and not just the latest post, without having to scroll all the way back through the page ?
I can't find a way but I may have missed it.

[Katiedot]

Sadly not. That's the feature that I miss the most on this forum.

[Joanna]

OK thanks....will keep scrollin'

[it's me]

this is the link that works for me

hope to help

[melbert]

When I click on the "colored" topic, then on to the "colored" post, it always takes me to where I last read, not just that last post. Does than mean I'm special? lol

[Katiedot]

OK thanks....will keep scrollin'

"Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling . . . rawHIDE!"

No?

[m4rose]

My problem....well, it's not really a problem but more of a "crap, I have to fix that now" thing is, whenever I make a comment, it automatically says I'm "watching" the topic even though I didn't click on the watch this topic for replies link. Any thoughts Katiedot? Thanks in advance for any guidance.

[Katiedot]

I sure do! The answer is right here: http://www.clooneysopenhouse.com/t1115-how-to-stop-getting-emails-everytime-someone-replies-to-your-post

[sadDonkey]

Thank you Melbert. You are a genius.
No more scrolling

[Joanna]

OK thanks....will keep scrollin'

"Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling . . . rawHIDE!"

No?

Excuse me, Katie, I brought this problem up over a month ago and I don't recall you ever responding about it. Sorry if I missed it because the problem has been going on continuously. I also posted that it happens in both IE and FireFox.

[sadDonkey]

When you click view posts since last visit then the topics are listed. Between the red circle and the topic you see a orange "square" - click that and it takes you where you read last
Please let me know if I could explain

[Katiedot]

I'm very sorry Sisieq, I haven't seen any posts by you in this part of the forum reporting an issue.

You've not been able to use this feature at all for over a month? Or do you mean that mostly it works but sometimes it misses threads?

[Joanna]

Aaaaah thank you !

Will try that next time I come on here.

[sisieq]

My fault for not also including comment in this thread, at the time. It was in another thread that comments were going back and forth and someone (nicely) said that same comments were made the day before and I posted that the Forum does not always open to "last comment read/from last visit" (when clicking on the orange square in any thread in any section) - it usually opens to last comment from that day. Happens more times than not. A couple of others responded that it happens to them, too.

[Katiedot]

Ah, ok.

To my knowledge this forum doesn't - and never has - go back to the last post you read, but opens at the most recent post posted. I know I've given that reply before, can't remember if it was to you or someone else.

I've tried SadDonkey's method just now but that doesn't work for me. Not sure why it works for her other than to say she's lucky!

[melbert]

Everytime I log on, I never use the posts since last visit thingy. I just stay on the face page and in every topic that has the reddish highlight, I click on. Then each individual thread within the topic is highlighted in orange by the person who last posted there. When I click on that orange square, it takes me to the last post that I READ, not the last post posted. I like that!!!!

[it's me]

ops
put in the wrong thread

reposting!

this is what I see
lil orange square, from my last one
lil at the end of the line, the very last post

[Katiedot]

Yep, that's what I get too. And when I click on the orange square it takes me to the last post in that thread, not the last one I read.

Bleh.

[melbert]

Then I AM special!!! yay!!!

[it's me]

so me too?

[sadDonkey]

Yep, you click on that orange square on the left side and it takes you directly (without scrolling) to the posts you haven't read yet.
Starting from the first new post, not the last.
Katie try again tomorrow when there are more new posts than just one. When I click now on that orange square it takes me to the last post too in that thread, because just one poster posted, if there are (eg) 5 new posts I haven't read yet, it would take me to the first post I haven't read yet.

[Katiedot]

I really, really have tried. I went to the games threads (where I rarely post) but it still brought me to the last post.

Oh well, will keep trying.

[sadDonkey]

Hmmm... weird... poor you... because it saves an enormous amount of time

[melbert]

Yep, you click on that orange square on the left side and it takes you directly (without scrolling) to the posts you haven't read yet.
Starting from the first new post, not the last.

Just one correction SadDonkey - should be the orange square on the far RIGHT side, you know, your other left!!! lol

[sadDonkey]

Nope, left
When you click on view posts since last visit, the orange square is on the left side. 7 posts above your post you'll see it's me's snapshot, you'll see what I mean. BTW - I can recommend this way 'cause it is the fastest

[melbert]

Oh sorry! That's the way I DON'T go in. I just click on the right orange square and it opens to the last I read. Sorry...

[Joanna]

Yep, you click on that orange square on the left side and it takes you directly (without scrolling) to the posts you haven't read yet.

I've always clicked on the square on the RIGHT side of the screen and it goes to the last post on thread.
SO...just tried doing it on the LEFT side of the screen and arrived at the same, last post on thread. But, I will persevere !

Meanwhile "Carry on Rawhide"

[sadDonkey]

@Melbert: No problem

@Joanna: Hmmm...for Katie it doesn't work either
Have you tried Melbert's method as well? Maybe that will work for you?!

[Joanna]

Yes thanks sad....

Melbert's Method...does the RC church know about that ??

Getting to sound raunchy now !!

[sisieq]

Yep, that's what I get too. And when I click on the orange square it takes me to the last post in that thread, not the last one I read.

Bleh.

Looking at screen -

Clicking on the orange square next to the poster's name to the far right of a thread line brings you to the last post in that thread.

Clicking on the orange square next to the thread's name to the far left of a thread line brings you to the last post (the person who is clicking) read. Same kind of set-up as in CU. However, for over a month, it doesn't always work here - Forum brings you to the last post "it" wants to go. And I'm not talking the last post that was posted.

[melbert]

sounds like it works differently for a whole bunch of people, eh? Consistently inconsistent!

[zizi]

Never worked for me. Always brings me the last post in that thread

[Joanna]

HELP !

I can't open a thread at the latest entry today, either on the small square or last page number.
It goes to a blank page with 'You can go back to Index"
at the top left corner.

[Joanna]

After sending post it doesn't go back to that to that page either.

[Joanna]

I can't open page 2 on this thread or Music Can thread at the moment.

[sisieq]

The end of January I received a PM from Katie and among other things, she stated that she has received copies of PMs that I send to others here. Katie would not tell me who would stoop so low. I've only spoke to 1 person in the month of January and nothing to do with Katie so I doubt it was her.

I told Katie I totally disagree with her in keeping the confidentiality of the senders of the fake PMs. This is the lowest of the low and I think anyone in this situation has the right to know who would make up such things. But, so be it, maybe its best not to know.

I"m sorry its come to this as I would never stab anyone here in the back. I"m posting this for others to be warned of what could happen to you.

[Katiedot]

I'm not sure what you think you're warning people about, but yes, when someone sends me something in confidence then I keep that confidence no matter how much anyone else insists that I break that promise.

In the past you yourself have confidentially forwarded me PMs from other people. I would never share those PMs that you sent me and I'm sorry that you don't understand that likewise I would never share anyone else's with you.

[sisieq]

All the best to others everyone here. Goodbye.

[sisieq]

Katie, I'll be honest, I don't recall sending you any PMs from people here.

Katie was kind enough to refresh my memory. I don't keep my PMs (or copies) as I delete them every few weeks. It was not anyone here. It was about a possible trouble maker from IMDB/JustJared that someone thought might be registered here. I would never intentionally stab anyone in the back here.

Again, all the best to others here. I enjoyed all your comments.

[sisieq]

My apologies to Katie and to members here. Again, I would never hurt anyone. I'm sorry if you lost trust/faith in me.

[silly girl]

Sisieq, we all have bad days.....while sometimes there is snarkiness there is also genuine affection....please don't leave permanently, maybe take a break but don't leave forever....be well....

[silly girl]

Oh and Katie, I hope you are having a better day...bosses are like that...hope the lawyer things gets settled soon.......

[blubelle]

After reading some of the recent posts about the major health and personal issues some of the posters on this forum are dealing with and that many of them come here to unwind, perhaps we could try to not take everything so seriously. IMHO this is suppose to be a fun place....so let's have fun.

[it's me]

the blog disappeared!!!!!

now here again

what happened!?
