Thanks

[JAParticipant @ja]

I don’t know where to post this so I have started a new topic.

Many thanks to all those who have managed to get this forum back working properly. It may not be perfect (and never will be) but the present criticisms seem to be about advertisers and their websites.

Now it is our, the users, job to return it to a vibrant, “must go to”, informative forum.

May I suggest that a good ‘vote of thanks and confidence’ would be for members to complete their Profile if they have not already done so ?

I tried changing my profile but it just doesn’t seem to work. I could add a photo but that was all.

Those that have said it does not work, when did you try as it has only been working for the last few days.

May also force you to change password if your old one was short or did not have caps and characters.

[Michael GilliganParticipant @michaelgilligan61133]

Jason … Andy confirmed to me that the password upgrade is not mandatory … you can just leave both entry-fields blank to leave it as-is

I just looked at my profile and it reminded me of a question (out of dozens) I was meaning to ask.

Does anyone know the purpose of the ‘What’s New Ian?’ box/field?

[Michael GilliganParticipant @michaelgilligan61133]

I have no idea, Ian

But I have just posted a few words in the ‘Michael’ equivalent … and will be interested to see where they appear.

Edit: _ O.K. I’ve located them … I will leave you to search, and post the answer later, if you fail to find.

Hi Gary, I’ve just added a little to my profile a few minutes ago without any problems, but you have to scroll down to the bottom of the page and click update, and I then just clicked on the forum button, to get back out of my profile.

 

MichaelG, I’ve found where your few words are, but I’ll not let on, so that others can see if they can find them.

Regards Nick.

[Michael GilliganParticipant @michaelgilligan61133]

Well done, Nick … It appears to be the modern equivalent of the thing that I only ever remember Geoff ‘Ouballie’ using on the old forum.

Yes Michael, I did find it and started a reply but accidentally closed the tab, then forgot to follow up.

It’s a total waste of space (not your message) but as a feature of the forum. Removing it would eliminate a few lines of code and remove a bit of clutter from the screen. Maybe I should report it as a bug.

I see your full title is @michaelgilligan61133, there must be a lot of Michael Gilligan’s!

It’s certainly running much better than it was a few months ago!

One tip I discovered is to give the thing chance to operate: I now wait a few seconds for the little dot to stop bouncing back and forth on the tool-bar tab before starting the next command.

I experimented with this: I posted the above, and it took maybe 10 – 15 seconds for all those words to get there. So to type this line I selected “Edit” and that command took perhaps 5s to register.

I’m old … but not that old, Paul

[Gary WoodingParticipant @garywooding25363]

Prompted by the success of others, I’ve just tried, and succeeded, to update my profile. Whew…

[Ian PParticipant @ianp]

My profile details have carried over from the old forum but I now do not seem to be able to edit or update the details.

After editing it informs me that the passwords do not match (they do!)

I note also that one can now make some details hidden or not visible to Members rather than participants
