Shmuel Gerber Posted October 11, 2017 at 01:22 PM Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 at 01:22 PM You may have noticed that the forum looks slightly different today. The software has been updated to the latest release. Let's hope that it has some good stuff, or at least no new bad stuff. Feel free to post comments here about any differences or problems that you encounter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to post comments here about any differences or problems that you encounter. In other news: To prevent the original poster from deleting topics that have already been replied to, and to prevent anyone (other than moderators) from editing old posts in a way that will invalidate the conversation or make it incomprehensible: Members can edit content only for 36 hours after posting, and only with an indication that the post has been edited. Members can no longer delete content. (If you really need to delete something that you've posted, either edit out all the content within the time limit, or use the "Report post" link and ask that the post be deleted.) Members who follow a topic should now be able to receive notifications of all replies, not just when their original post has been quoted. Secure sign-in has now been enabled. (When you sign in, it is from an https page rather than a regular http page.) Moderator messages can appear at the top of the topic page (as shown above).

Hieu H. Huynh Posted October 11, 2017 at 10:25 PM Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 at 10:25 PM (edited) I see that "Title" is still not specified in the Start New Topic screen (should be Title of topic and not title of person posting).

Guest Zev Posted October 11, 2017 at 11:40 PM Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 at 11:40 PM And what about the old style numbers of the posting that so many have complained about for so long? Why couldn't that be revived? The rest I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I double checked my notification settings and it's set to receive notifications of all replies in a topic I post in but that feature still isn't working, just so you know. In this thread, Mr. Goodwiller's reply didn't generate a notification http://robertsrules.forumflash.com/topic/30735-youth-league-board-member/ and in this thread Mr. Martin's reply didn't generate one http://robertsrules.forumflash.com/topic/30734-removing-write-in-votes/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the notifications by email, it's supposed to notify me the same way a quoted back response does, if I'm not mistaken. Either way there is no notification from the website itself and I'd prefer not to get them via email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime, specific posts can be linked to by copying the URL that pops up when you click on the "share" icon. For example: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
