What the fcuk gone wrong now?

 

There was a technical failure in your brain, which caused your tolerance setting to reduce to zero.

 

The cure is to sit down with a nice boiled egg.

 

cheers,

 

Martin.

That's not something you really want to be doing at such moments.

I got a surprising 'Your registration is complete!' email from rmweb last night... then another, and another... there's been a few.
Came to see what's going on, couldn't log on, had to reset my password... let's see if I keep getting emails.

[LisaP4]

... nope, they're still coming.

I got the emails but still logged in. Normally use my phone to view the forum anyway. If I do use the computer I have to log in every time.

[luckymucklebackit]

Got three as well, still logged in though

Three emails received here but for a user name I do not use!!

 

22:56, 00:26 & 00:47.

 

Edit - Just checked my other email addresses and also have 3 x emails for my 'normal' username

Glad to see it wasn't just me with the "Your registration is complete".

[PaulRhB]

As Andy said on the previous page it’s just clearing out due to some updates. 

 

Keep calm etc etc

Thanks Andy, my phone now displaying the forum as it should.

 

I wish the fault on CTMK's Fitbit could be dealt with as quickly and efficiently!

 

[JohnR]

Obviously quite a few little wrinkles to be ironed out, and I'd like to thank Andy for all the hard work he's putting in. I'm guessing this is more than a 9 - 5 job!

I'm have a minor, in the grand scheme of things, problem at this end.

 

When I'm browsing on my IPad, which is the device I use most, the new version of RMweb mutes any music I have playing in the background.  Other Apps or websites only do this when they are actually playing media and the old versions of RMweb never did this.  

 

Like I said, a very minor issue compared to all else but an irritation non the less.

 

 

 

This seems to have resolved itself as I am now listening to music as I browse RMweb. if it is something that Mr York has done, i am most grateful.  If Mr York was not involved I'm still grateful for all he has done and continues to do.

 

It wasn't anything I did as I still refuse to spend silly amounts on new hardware.

If I did anything productive it was accidental and an unintended consequence. My wife can testify to this level of competence.

Is there any possibility of reinstating post numbers? Its taken me ages to find a post from a couple of weeks ago. I know of the objections to post numbers, about if another post is cancelled or deleted it alters all subsequent numbers but is this such a problem? The percentage of deleted posts must be very small compared to the number of posts made so deleted posts shouldn't be a major problem, in the past if I found a numbered post had changed its number it was usually a simple matter to page up until it was found. Could not any deleted posts be replaced with a message such as @Deleted by Admin/poster' or 'Cancelled by poster'?

I'm afraid not. I've looked into it and it works completely differently.

Hi Andy, did you find a way of getting the friends lists back? I appreciate though you’ve probably got hundreds of other things that may need sorting out on this site!

 

Cheers,

[Jeff Smith]

Apologies if this has already been answered but why are there no post numbers now?  Previously you could refer to a previous post number.

If only I could quote the post number for this post all of two above .......

Would the 'Bookmark' facility help?

That post number is 3478605

 

You can quote it by posting a link to it:

 
https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/141839-new-forum-software/&do=findComment&comment=3478605

 

To get the link, right-click on the words "posted Monday at 20:16".

 

cheers,

 

Martin.

That's why I brought it in. Martin's given good advice above too and there's also use of the share icon to get a post number.

It's not the number of the post in the thread, though (there clearly aren't 3.5 million posts in this thread) which I think is what people are asking for, harking back to the old "as I wrote is post #230 of this thread" kind of reference*.  But if you have to go to the trouble of pulling up the URL of the direct link to the post you want to reference in order to find out its "number", I reckon you might as well just put that link in your post - as you do so rightly say.

 

* Which IMO was a pain if it was several pages back and you had to keep paging back to find it
