How do I delete a draft? I can't see an option on the drafts page.

Mick · August 2013

Look on the left hand side of the page "My Drafts" click it, and you'll see an X to the right of the draft. Click the X to delete it.

EDIT: That should have read, if you put your mouse cursor over the draft, and you'll see an X to the right of the draft. Click the X to delete it.

I dig the feature that when you click on a thread it takes you to the last page. B-)

Hmm, just tried that. It worked on one draft, but not on another? #-o

It should take you to your last unread post in that thread (discussion), as expected. Actually most good forum scripts do.

What about from photobucket? I tried the direct link and it didn't work. http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g232/malarkymusic/Gigs/malarkycover.jpg

You posted the page url, and not the image url, as you've just worked out.

How do I delete a post/s. My posts got lost in the super-mation info-highway. I never expected to see them again, low and behold, they all turn up in a one-er.

Longtallronnie · August 2013

How odd, I'm sure that didn't work earlier, oh well, as you were.

Sometimes the page only needs to be reloaded.

this.

TTony · August 2013

Click on the gear wheel icon - top right of a post. That should give you options to edit, or delete.

Ahh, and the icon only appears when you mouse-over the comment that you want to edit/delete.

nope, just gives option of edit, not delete

also - what does a 'highlighted' thread topic mean in the forum over view home pages?

ddlooping · August 2013

As of now you cannot delete your posts.
Quite a bummer but we'll be looking into a solution (if there's one).

Same here, sure I could earlier. Has someone changed the permissions? Or perhaps it was on a board with custom permissions.

Edit your post and change it to the word "Toast".

Ahhh ... sorry ... I was looking at it through my supervision admin glasses. I'm still getting used to them.

TTony · August 2013

Now, that is curious.

As soon as I posted the reply above, I clicked the gear-wheel icon, and the only option available to me was "edit". I couldn't delete the post that I'd just posted.

I hit refresh, and the "delete" option appeared.

Going to try that again with this post ...

[edit]

Same again. Immediately after posting, no "delete" option. Went to another page, then came back here, and there's the "delete" option.

[edit, edit]

Same happens if you edit a post that you could previously delete. As soon as it's edited, the delete option disappears.

And when the delete option disappears, so do the LOL/Wow/Wisdom/Facepalm icons from the bottom of the post. The Quote and FB/Twitter icons remain in place though.

One for the bug list methinks. It'll not get changed for a couple of weeks though - just whilst we leave the place to settle down.

Can we set the spell checker to English (as opposed to american-ish)?

Is that so Chilli can regret not having a toaster, and delete it for you?

Looks like the quotes aren't working properly. If someone posts a line of text, then hits return

and post another line, it puts the second line outside the quote.

bertie · August 2013

post to check the delete option appears on "refresh"

Nope not on refresh then edit, or edit then refresh..........or going to another page and back

ALSO please, whats a "fret" and how do you get one ?

Bucket · August 2013

Will there be a more detailed way of keeping track of the rep system - i.e. seeing which of one's posts have been voted up (not necessarily disclosing who dished out the rep), via some kind of notification system?

Just out of curiosity more than anything. It'd be cool to keep track!

Sporky · August 2013

I would like that, so I think it's fair to say that if we can work it out (the current plugin doesn't, AFAIK, support that) then we'll implement it.

I think it'd be useful to be able to see what one had been facepalmed for. However, I think it's critical that the votes be anonymous.

And remember that if anyone posts something that's way, way out of line you can use the "flag" button above the post to report it. We're all hopeful that with the community able to vote stuff directly that won't be needed very often - if at all.

How do we post pics here? Photobucket as before?

Yep, upload them anywhere on the web, and embed them here. As before.

You get a fret whenever clicks on the LOL/Wow!/Wisdom icons at the bottom of one of your posts.

bertie · August 2013

not likely to get many then :-B

although I do agree they should be anonymous, it would be good to see 'why' you got the appropriate 'fret' what piece of information you provided

Yup. We're looking at whether/how that can be achieved. No breath-holding though - we're not intended to make any changes for the first couple of weeks.

Stability, stability, stability!

Oh, and several people have lives to get back to ...

Howdy, Stranger!
