Posting Problems

OwL · November 22, 2018, 07:41:09 PM

I'm having issues on posting a new topic?

I wanted to start a new topic in book review, trouble is, everytime I clicked the new topic button, it just takes me to the main forum topics page???

Help please mods??

Just tried it myself @OwL - got the same result.

OwL · November 22, 2018, 07:54:07 PM

I think it's just the book review topic!

I've just successfully posted elsewhere with no problems.

MODS? Are you aware?

Thanks in advance, I'm sure they will sort it quickly

Same problem with DVD Reviews, although the other review sections seem okay.

Newportnobby · November 22, 2018, 09:26:00 PM

Neither of them work for me either so @Only Me will need to solve it for us all

Just comes up with 'Forms for reviews'
I haven't got a clue about managing boards as you suggest and if I'm a Smod you're a Smeg

Basically forum members submit a review and it gets ok'd by you before it appears

Well I never. That's news to me. Is it really necessary? Are our members likely to post reviews of blue films or proscribed books? I can't imagine anyone posting a DVD review of "Debbie Does Clapham Junction"

Reminds me of a little limerick I know about Clapham Junction and a policeman, but we won't go there.

I've written quite a few book reviews, and never had to have them proof read by Mick...

News to me as well!

"Debbie Does Clapham Junction"

It was "Melanie Does Clapham Junction"!

I cant win can I... damned if i do and damned to an eternal ear bashing from NpN if i dont!

I thought it was quite a reasonable question. Why is it necessary for book and DVD reviews to pass cencorship? Not a case of 'winning' at all

Well ! all over my top !! Way too cryptic for me,
but (Debbie and Melanie not withstanding *) I did work near Shepherd's Bush long time ago (dublo'nintento intended)
{Lime Grove, if anyone needs to know !}

So, as I just bought "Eats,shoots & leaves" as a result of the educational Ebay language postings
it is a good job that I have not yet finished it, thus not yet ready to post a review.

Should I have an insatiable desire to do so, like the Op, in the future, would someone care to enlighten us, mere mortals, as to who when where and how ?

Instead of knocking off mod points ?

cos it is still cream_crackered

*did I lead a sheltered yoof, it was (M)andy (R)ice Davies back then

youngsters hereabouts can google profumo

Bealman · November 24, 2018, 03:37:11 AM

Are we any closer to solving Owl's original problem?

MalcolmInN · November 24, 2018, 03:47:28 AM

Dont look like it !
3 cryptic mods and counting.

mind you, there is always the SMF PDFs
but I am only an 'umble'* user, so it aint up to me.

*as Dickens would say

I'm in talks right this second with getting someone on board to completely start the forum from scratch for me in a new database, with added tweaks that members want. Upgrading to a higher PHP version on the server has messed up a lot of modifications and add-ons.

I don't remember reviews ever needing to be vetted before, but perhaps I've remembered incorrectly?! Due to me not spending the time on here that I used to, I'm forgetting how some areas worked!

Newportnobby · November 27, 2018, 03:59:34 PM

I'm unable to post a DVD review. Just comes up with 'Forms for Reviews'
