Hello all,
You should have all received a message about changing settings in your account. This is a genuine message and not spam!
At the moment we are installing a new modification which will allow you to be notified at the top of the forum, of certain actions on the forum. My main reason for doing this is because I felt that when members 'Thanked' another member it may have gone unnoticed, but this will help make that appreciation clear to the original poster.
I hope that makes sense!
Fair do's.
How do I get rid of that pesky warning triangle under the date? Have I been yellow carded :angel: :smiley-laughing:
that is part of the mod, you cant disable that.

Can you tell a simpleton like me how to do that please?
if you click on that triangle it will show you what the mod does, you can _not_ remove that triangle.
No, Illori said you CAN'T disable it!!!! ;D

when you have an alert it will turn yellow/red and you CLICK on the triangle.

Well it wasn't Spam. That's good, can't stand the stuff.
Not much to change in my settings for alerts.
Speaking of alerts:

If you don't like them then change your settings. Simples!
Is this message via an email or a pm? I have not received either.
Why haven't I received anything? Why am I excluded? Why is it always me? They're all out to get me. Where is my comfort blanket and teddy?
:D Not sure why you've missed out?!
It's nothing personal, I've not had the message either!
Ha, got the little icon up that a message has arrived in my email. So, I've woken them up and got my message - good. Switched to email and ...... a notification that someone has posted on an open thread - this one. Now going to go down the shops, and will have another look later.
oops never saw this thread, I thought I had been naughty hence the notification alert...DOH
No blue attack than? can I come out?
did not see this thread so all ok please ignore my pm to tank

Now the "Alerts" is working well, I find I now have a list of old alerts when I hit the red triangle, getting longer as each new alert arrives. How can I delete the alerts that I have read?
you can not delete them. but those you have read will be purged automatically every 4 days.
I shall be turning off the Alerts Modification (the triangle at the top of the forum) for two days to see if this is causing an issue with slow loading of the forum, and high usage of the servers CPU.
Hopefully this will give us an the answer we need, as something is causing problems.
Thanks!
I hope the triangle is not the cause as I use it as a quick visual check for PM's.
Since this has been brought up, something I have been meaning to ask for some time.
Would it be possible to get a sound played when a PM is received?
A simple "Ping" would do the job for me :)
or
If not a sound, then a small pop up box either in the middle or along the bottom of the screen?

Sure! Go into your Profile, look for Modifying Profile on the left hand side, and then Personal Messaging, click it. You will then see a 'tick box' for 'Show a popup when I receive new messages'. Tick and save.
This will only be temporary in regards to the Alerts, as I feel it's a key feature. The coding may have to be rewritten for it, or whatever is causing the issue. Process of illumination sadly.

Damn it, I missed that one :smiley-laughing: :smiley-laughing: :smiley-laughing: :smiley-laughing:
Damn it! ::) :smiley-laughing:
I noticed it but knowing how touchy some people are about Dyslexia on here thought it too dangerous to point out ::)
Paul
Yes, life's too short so I just laugh it off. ;)
The forum has been very slow for me right now - I was viewing unread threads and it too 3 seconds to bring them up each time I did it.
Do you want us to report slowness whilst the testing is going on?
EDIT - it took at least 7 seconds for this post to get sent
Same here and I got the 408 or whatever it is error last night :'(
Thanks!
Yes I got the 504 error last night. There was a high Server Load last night that just got bigger and bigger and bigger still!
From 15.10 today I have suffered many issues usually involving class 504's and class 404's.
Couldn't even log off without an error message ???

I thought all the class 404's and 504's were withdrawn years ago.
Dodger
Certainly the 4COR's were, before I was born even! Not sure about the 504's, beyond Southern (and therefore my knowledge) Border!!
Andrew
Just realised that without the alert function you don't know when someone has added a thank you to a posting or is there some other hidden way of flagging them up. ???
504's were all scrapped in the early 90's, except one.
Back on topic now.... ;) There is no other way to view the Thank You's unless you check every thread. Hopefully we'll have them back by tomorrow.
Very slow forum right now - about 20s to load the unread pages
Yes it keeps jumping from quick to slow. :thumbsdown:
Slow . . . slow . . . quick quick slow . . . :D

Are you named Tank because you are thick skinned?
No, it's because I was born with tracks instead of feet! ;D
