What's Going On With The Forum???

Yes Brent it is good to hear your back from your hospital encounter.

There has been some braging going on and I think
DENNY DID IT
but I'm not going to snitch

Brent,

Here are Denny's pictures.

PS: Under "thread subscription" what do you have set up as your "notification type"

[mrmustang]

Instant email notification. That's what it was originally.

Maybe the server is just playing catch up with your posts

Also glad to see you back Brent. Problem I was having was that the thread screen was different. There was no "post reply" block, and some pictures were not coming up, replaced by "attached images" written in a box in the middle of the screen where the pictures are normally.

It was also moving very slowly.

Aside from that, everything was fine.

Don

Oh, no icons either

[Itoldyouso]

Oh Oh, it's doing it again !!! Still no Post Replys or pictures. And no smiley faces either.

Oh man, I just broke my bottle of Nyquil.


Look out Denny, here they come.

Don, it really sounds like you're not correctly logged in when you don't see the buttons, etc. Try deleting your cookies and then log back in to see if this helps.

With regards to the email notifications, I had turned off the email service for some maintenence and had forgotten to turn it back on....I believe you got spammed with days worth of notifications all at once.

Brent,
That is NOT the case for me ( nor do I believe for Don or Denny either). What I am getting is current stuff, often written and posted moments before. I dumped my cookies yesterday and shut off my instant notification but will turn it back on in a moment to see if the problem is cured. If necessary, I'll "resign" from CHR on a temporary basis then reapply, which, unfortunately, will make me a newbie again . I cannot have unprotected emails coming in to my PC !!!

[Brent Mills]

Denny, it sounds like this "was" happening, but is now ok? Dave, I think you're saying it still happens for you (no need to re-register, I'll get it squared away)?

Brent - still going on, but since Earthlink offers anonymous email addresses, I changed mine to one of them until you tell me it's OK. PITA, but hope to keep the spammers and idiots away from my hard drive. So far works well

I'm not sure I understand here....Are you saying you're getting spam (as in with virusus/malware) from CHR? Now keep in mind, people spoof mail headers to look like they are coming from places they aren't all the time. The system is clean, so I will find that very hard to believe.

Not yet - Earthlink is supposed to put all unsolicited or unknown persons (that is not allowed by lack of my specific permission) email into a Suspected Spam Folder. Since I don't know idividuals who are posting, any mails from CHR are supposed to go into that folder - which they did up until about 2 weeks ago. To confuse the issue more, there is a Known Spam Folder as well. I can choose to look at suspected emails, which, if it says it's from CHR I will. If it is from an unknown in for instance, Austria, such as I got earlier today, out it goes, it gets dumped as spam and reported back to Earthlink. These never reach my hard drive, but stay on Earthlinks

Confused, then let me know and I'll cut 'n' paste some Earthlink verbage

I have it sucessfully coming in to my Earthlink anonymous email box now - and will try the "old method" (regular) again in a few days. If the emails are then not sent to the correct in box, will then advise (I will, either way)
