Administrators SCOUTER-Terry Posted March 29, 2002 Administrators Share Posted March 29, 2002 As you can see, we have been introducing a few new features to the SCOUTER Forums recently. I hope everyone finds these features helpful, and we're still working on a few more tricks that will continue to improve the Forums over the next couple of weeks (including private, member to member messaging). Specifically, two repairs have been made, and I would appreciate your testing and feedback: 1) We have fixed (we think) the problems some were having with editing posts (which you have to do within an hour of making the post). Please let us know if you are still having problems with that feature. 2) We have also (we think) fixed the problems some were having with editing your profiles... we encourage you to complete your personal profile if you would like to share information with other members. Are there any other requests or suggestions for improving the Forums? TERRY HOWERTON SCOUTER.com Publisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berkshirescouter Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 I still can't edit my profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sctmom Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Wooohooo! I edited my profile successfully! Now, let's see if I can edit my posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sctmom Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Still can't edit my posts immediately after posting them. Says I have an invalid membership. Also, what's the trick to reading the headlines. I get some error message saying I don't have authorization everytime I try to read the news stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozemu Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Same as sctmom I cannot edit immediately after sending as it doesn't recognise my password. Also the edit doesn't give access to the check box requesting notification of replies to my post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagle90 Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 What's with all the all of a sudden in the posts? It makes reading very difficult and distracting. Can you get rid of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJCubScouter Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 Eagle90 says: What's with all the all of a sudden in the posts? It makes reading very difficult and distracting. Can you get rid of them? I am sure they are trying to get rid of them. Obviously what is happening is that the forum software has suddenly forgotten how to read html tags and is just printing them as regular characters. Even if you don't use the html tags on purpose, when you hit "enter" between paragraphs, the forum software turns it into (pointy bracket) br (other pointy bracket), which it then reads to put a space between the paragraphs. So everybody is using html tags whether they know it or not, and when the software forgets what they are... well, it's a mess. (It will be interesting to see what happens to the bracket-br-brackets you intentionally typed in when the problem is fixed.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators SCOUTER-Terry Posted April 2, 2002 Author Administrators Share Posted April 2, 2002 Yes, we're addressing these problems now. Apparently "fixes" that we've been making recently were posted to the live server too early, and have caused a few other problems. Please be patient. Thanks.
