rong Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 I think they are trying to get rid of some of us, moving server without telling us. (that's the message I got) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 It was a planned upgrade on the hosting side; we've been moved to a brand new server.We shouldn't have had downtime, the old server should have forwarded the requests to the new, but it didnt.Never the less, I updated IP addresses, and it seems they populated around the globe in a few minutes, pretty quick.

andsome Posted January 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Just noticed that there is a button for Topic Moderation. I have not dared to touch this, if someone did so could they cause a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Just noticed that there is a button for Topic Moderation. I have not dared to touch this, if someone did so could they cause a problem?Wasn't the button always there for use by subscribers to allow deletion of a post etc.?

It looks from this shot of Catgates post that I can delete this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 I don't see that option either.One thing I have noticed is that the facility for a subscriber to stop or delete one of their posts seems to be time limited.I don't think it was time limited on the previous board.I posted a test topic which I wanted to delete later - but the facility had vanished.

Dencandy Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Also it's not helpful the way clicking on a sceenshot link sometimes works. If I click on the one posted by andsome above there's a fade to a fullscreen screenshot, but then, annoyingly, no way to get back to the thread - there's no link via the back button and clicking on the cross in the red box closes the window and the thread completely. And by having the shot full screen I can't compare it with the text that accompanyed it. But sometimes screenshots come up in a smaller window in the old way. Is there now a different way to access screenshots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Must be a senior moment, I have only just realised that I started that topic, so of course I can moderate it. Silly bugger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
