Sorry for the bumps!

Post: # 22106Post Martin »

over the next few days I'll be carrying on crawling about in the innards of the site, trying to get it all functioning properly - so if you notice any strange things going on, don't worry - it's me!
ps, my presented elevated position is only "token" - I need it for access - nothing more - I haven't been elevated to archangel status! :geek:
During the last few hours, we lost the "quotes" facility - it's now back and working properly - if you find your "quoting" hasn't worked properly, just click on "edit", and just resubmit it - it should then work! :roll:
During the cleaning out etc., I updated to the latest version of phpbb, and optimised the database - the "quotes" problem was a now-recognised bug in the update, I've now amended the code, and it seems to be working fine! :cheers:

LOL I would click on edit to right the quoting mishap I had - but my edit button has now gone awol!

Have fun in there, and dont get lost. I have a "man that can" to work my innards, of phpbb I mean! Bless him, without him women everywhere would have to get on with housework :lol:

hmmm ETA that its now back on new stuff, but missing on any old stuff. Ahhh the joys! :geek:

problem noted! :?
In the meantime, we now have proper mod control panels, a "watched topics" list, and the ability to restrict access to the members list - more to come! :flower:

I thought it wise to ask and get someone to help out, some of you may remember my efforts to do stuff in the past and ending up with critical errors all the time and no forum.

I am very greatful that Martin offered. (and to everyone else who did).

Cheers again Martin.

oooh. Not sure if you are still in there...?

But if so, can you live link the usernames? To send a PM, it's no prob if they are mods, but to PM everyone else is a hassle and you have to go hunting for them....

puh..leease!

A few days' worth of posts seemed to have disappeared yesterday... Was that just me, or part of the process?
