Thank you

Had thought forum upstreams might have been affected.

And am aware mods have real lives, too.. :-l

Appreciate the reply <cheers>

No problem.

Yep, lol, if I said too much about my lifestyle. I’d have to “do” myself for promotion with the music.
Then there is the “day job” too..

I’m currently pulling all mention of error posts & screenshots (of the aforementioned) together for the “boffins” & flagging it up..

Kind regards,

Jay.

Have tagged in @Administrator @Jaylee @Antje77 ...doing so here in case tags can't be seen from our error hurricane thread.
Thanks for tagging me, it never hurts to tag us in case we lose a followed thread.

I'm pretty useless at the moment, as I'm on holiday. Internet is sketchy in my tent, I hate using my phone for typing and I'm having to keep a close eye on my battery too because I need the phone for my sensor and navigation, and my power bank doesn't seem to work.

No worries .
Seems a few are on the case, which is all we needed.

Cheers guys ...< thumbs up >

Can't believe forum now relies on us writing posts in another app, so we don't lose everything when yet another error stops us posting
I have not had a problem like this, even on a totally different forum using the same forum software.

If you are using the forum app, uninstall it and use a browser such as Chrome, and you will not have the problem.

As for the advice
Sadly Not applicable, but thanks anyway.

@Jaylee .

Just incase it helps identify part of the issue.

I keep getting a similar post if I don't just get Error message

Heres one I did see, as I mentioned it in reply.


But now I get this.

Which when I tried to swap themes, my profile showed up as similar

Hi all - just a quick note to say thank you for your feedback. Every single suggestion is reviewed and we hope to address them all in the not-too-distant future.

Also, apologies if you were affected by the outages today - there was a huge wave of Russian bots sent this way which thankfully that's been thwarted!

I was today!
I loved it, saw two foxes, lots of squirrels, had a ride in the cable cars, pretended to be a driver in the driverless train and bought a tourist shirt to go with my picture on the meridian. :happy:

But one day of such a busy and noisy city was enough, glad to be back in my tent outside the city!
Moving on tomorrow.

(And my apologies for derailing, my dear colleagues. Will try to behave.)

I’m not a techie. But have been looking up these error messages.

Been all over this like the proverbial rash since getting in from work.
Seeing similar using safari.. sussed out a rough idea what’s happening.

And @Administrator has filled in he blanks as I spoke.. :) Told you it’s flagged up..

A new issue (to me) is that under the notification bell unread posting I’m alerted to are marked with a solid dot, read ones an empty circle. The last few days I’ve noticed unread messages being marked read after reading another notification, even when I’ve not yet visited that unread thread

Also it appears that my online status (little green symbol at the base of my avatar) is visible to all even though I’ve selected it not to be. (Or maybe it only shows to me I can’t tell)

For me if I place my mouse curser over the empty circle it comes up with the text mark as unread if its a solid circle it comes up with mark as read.

I’m on an iPad so no mouse. If I touch the circle I can change it between read and unread but that’s not the issue. The problem is the website (not app) changes unread to read for me without it being read.

For me it changes the alerts on likes as read, but not the alerts on replies.

Seems pretty random then not a uniform response for all users there will be differences also depending on if you have andriod sytem or OS or whatever I should think, we may just have to live with its idiosyncrasies.

I’ve got used to it - now most of the glitches are sorted and I’ve finally got it set to my preferences.
I now have more, so it's more like windows 95 for me.

Fits & starts of posting replies.
Admins on the case, though.

But no emojis aggh...that hurts the most....< Crying >
Lol.
