Magda and I have some issues with this site so we're going to get together and see if we can get the powers that be at Flux to help us out.  She's been at this longer than I have and she has been very helpful, but they still have some problems at her place, too.  So, let's do this.  Post what you either don't like or understand about how all this operates.  Maybe we can change a few things or at least understand why we can't.  I have looked at every single thing on the back end at the admin level just to see how it operates. In some ways it's kind of limited on the simple stuff we want  to do here.  But on the other hand, we can do a lot here that you wouldn't be able to do with another forum like format with different software.  I know that Bruce tested a lot of different options and this is the one that he thought would suit us best.  So, let's go with the flow and see how...

Magda and I have some issues with this site so we're going to get together and see if we can get the powers that be at Flux to help us out.  She's been at this longer than I have and she has been very helpful, but they still have some problems at her place, too. 

 

So, let's do this.  Post what you either don't like or understand about how all this operates.  Maybe we can change a few things or at least understand why we can't.  I have looked at every single thing on the back end at the admin level just to see how it operates. In some ways it's kind of limited on the simple stuff we want  to do here.  But on the other hand, we can do a lot here that you wouldn't be able to do with another forum like format with different software.  I know that Bruce tested a lot of different options and this is the one that he thought would suit us best.  So, let's go with the flow and see how we can make it work for us.  Because I guarantee you we're not building another one of these!!   (if we had smilies I'd wink or make a goofy face at ya so you would know that I'm not being mean or anything - just telling you the way it is)  <3

 

I think in time we'll all get to like it here and feel more comfortable.  I like it a lot, but still have some things that I would change if I could.  But for the most part I think it's a pretty cool place if you use all the bells and whistles that we've got like uploading videos, pictures, links, personal music players, etc.  Putting the other issues aside like posting on the Discussion board is kind of a small thing when you weigh it against the other cool stuff here because it IS a lot like a myspace page with a smaller bunch of folks as friends. And the forum, personal messages and the guest book are pretty much like comments on a myspace page. 

 

Ok, that's enough out of me.  You get the picture!  Tell us what your your issues are.

    I'm tryin' Missy...I'm tryin'!! Flux people now want more detail about our "disppearing threads." I have to think of a way to explain it and I don't really know how. Other than..."Well, sometimes they are there and sometimes they're not." That SFM...Gone? thread wasn't the only one that did that. Think I'll just keep an eye on it for a while and see how it goes. If you guys want to help and let me know when you see weird stuff, that would be good. Thanks Missy!

    The other problem I've noticed that I wrote to Flux about, is that even though it says you have 64,000 plus characters remaining in these comment spaces...it gets cut off when you save it and you can't read the whole comment. So, hopefully that will be fixed. I've had more problems with this software since Flux changed all of this to "make it better" for us! Hope they figure it out. I wrote them back and asked them if this "fix" will take care of disappearing threads. We'll see.

    If you copy/paste this into your browser it takes you to that thread and it does show it's in the STB category. But if you click on STB on that post, it doesn't show up. I wrote to Flux about another problem I've noticed & they wrote back saying this.

    "Yes this is a bug that has affected every community on Flux. A fix has been put into place that will be deployed on Wednesday."

    I know. That thread disappeared the day Bruce fixed the magazine for me. I thought he might have deleted it because I couldn't find it anywhere. When I started that thread where I explained what happened, I sent a link to it to Sherry Spires. She hardly ever checks her email, so over the weekend she read the email and clicked on the link, which somehow made it show up again. I responded to what she wrote, but now I can't find it again either. Here's the link I sent her...see above.

    There was a reply to a thread yesterday under STB that I saw on the right as the newest recent post. I clicked on it and saw there were alot of replies over the course of days, and the thread topic doesn't show at all for me.. it was the SFM gone thread.

    I've gone and looked for it today... nothing. It's just not there for me. Wondering how many other threads don't show up for me? Anyone else having this problem??

    Yeah, thinkin' can get a person in trouble sometimes. cyclopes Whenever it shows up at the top that you have mail, when you go there look over to the left and you'll see if it's actually mail or a comment or whatever. Took me a while at first to figure it out too.

    I got it. It was just the return friend request that was showing up as mail and I thought it was actual mail that I had. I guess it all went bad when I "thought", lol

    Thanks

    Hey Eddy....I have no idea why you would have received something like that. I'll have to ask them, but in the meantime if you hear from them, let me know. BTW, what was the last thing you added here? Is there something you remember doing that does not show up on your latest activity in your profile? Go to your profile and scroll down to activity. Either way, I can't think of anything you may have posted that would have violated the TOS....unless you're posting porn again!!! too funny... cyclopes Just kiddin ya!

    I still can't find anything that allows other members to see your own links that you've added. So, I don't think that's how it works. If you look up at the top right hand corner when you're in your profile, it says Recently Shared Items above those buttons that say MESSAGE - VIDEO - PHOTO - LINK. If you click on LINK a box comes up where you can add a link to share with everybody. But I'm not so sure we want to look at everybody's links on our page...takes up a lot of room. So, you've got that little trash can there if you want to delete what I just shared with ya, go ahead and get rid of it.

    I don't really like how this works with the links. I'll add it to my "Bruce list" and see if he knows of another way to deal with the links.

    Brian - Why don't you just not sign out when you leave? I don't sign out cuz I'm too lazy to log in if I'm just doing a quick check on the place a few times a day.

    I agree, I think it's firewall settings or something that are all unique on every computer and they vary depending on what browser you're using. Don't think there's a cure for that either.

    Here's an example...I can't see any LINKS under Dixieman's profile. He says they are there, but I don't see them. I see mine and some others I've looked at though. I've used AOL, Firefox and IE....no Dixieman LINKS.

    Missy -- when you're reading the comments here, click on View "Threaded" instead of "Most Recent On Top." That'll change it to read top to bottom like we're used to.
