Our New Chat/Forum

Michael How come you can comment on post but I can't?

[Michael]

Can you explain more. How are you having the issue?

[Blackcat31]

Can you explain more. How are you having the issue.

She means the last forum had a comment option that showed a persons comment embedded in the post whereas this new one does not and you can only quote a post this a whole new “post”

[Michael]

I am currently using my iPhone and see the comment option to post in your section. I will look on my desktop later to see if there is a difference.

[Blackcat31]

I checked my iPhone and I don’t have a comment option there or my iPad which I’m currently using
Have not checked my laptop

I also can’t PM you

It says I’ve exceeded the 250 messages allowed so I deleted them all but it still says same

[Michael]

I updated your permissions to what I have. Let me know if that works.

[Annalee]

my laptop doesn't have the 'comment' tab??? 'comment' tab isn't on my phone either????

[Michael]

I'm thinking its a permissions issue. I need to go over between the other forum and this one, which was updated former version that was 10 years old. Most likely the old database did not include the new comments section option. I am seeing everything normal but I am an admin with no restrictions. It must be the permissions.

[Blackcat31]

Michael nope no change. I logged out of all versions and logged back in and no change

[Michael]

Okay, that’s odd. I may have to clear the forum cache.

[girlmomma]

I can’t comment either. I’m using an iPhone

[Michael]

forum.daycare.com now points this new address. If anyone wants anything from that forum, let me know and I can open it up for you.

[Michael]

It works but the comments are unapproved?!?
Let me see it I can fix that one.

[Michael]

I just, changed the options. Try commenting again.

[Annalee]

I have the 'comment' tab, too, now!

[Michael]

Annalee Great. The comments no longer seem to need moderation.

[Michael]

I am waiting for the day Google, Bing and Duck approve and index all the content here. We should start seeing a lot of visitors and may need moderators again.That would be a good thing.

[Alwaysgreener]

Michael Have you seen an increase in traffic?

[Former Teacher]

I can comment as well! Long time no see everyone!
It's been pure chaos here-good chaos but still chaos
My only issue with this one is that I can't search or maybe I am missing something?

[Michael]

Former Teacher can you explain more or send a screen capture?

[Former Teacher]

There just isn't a search feature. And the one that you linked....I have to prove I am human by adding some jibberish

[Alwaysgreener]

Former Teacher I am having to verify I am human to post but not to comment. Are you having to do the same thing to post or just log in? I posted a pick below on post 29.

[Alwaysgreener]

Okay, what is with the winner cup and medals?

[Michael]

haha, I decided to try using the ranking option. The more posts and topics a member has, the different the award/rank. I may or may not keep them.

[Alwaysgreener]

I am missing the morning chat thread. Could we get a new pinned morning chat?

[Michael]

If you want to start one, I or BlackCat will pin it.

[Alwaysgreener]

Michael Ok, I just start The Chat Post in the off-topic section.

[Alwaysgreener]

Michael Is there any update on removing the image verification or am I stuck with it?

[Michael]

I don’t know why you would be seeing that. Can you send me a screenshot or explain in more detail? You can also PM me.

[Alwaysgreener]

Michael Here it is. It appeared a couple of days ago. It is on my android phone and windows computer (chrome browser on both)

[girlmomma]

I saw it yesterday, but it wasn’t there today.

[Michael]

Okay, thanks. I guess I had set it to use human recognition for unregistered users but the program made it global. Maybe I can just require it in the usergroup for Unregistered posters. I can set the permissions for each usergroup. Once the search engines find this new forum address, we will probably get a lot of new users. If there then is a problem with spam, we may need some new moderators. So far this new program does a great job of stopping spammers.

[Alwaysgreener]

Michael thank you for fixing it.

[Michael]

Has anyone heard from Cat Herder? I emailed her a week ago but got no answer. She is/was a giant on all of our forums like BlackCat. I would hate to see her go.

[Alwaysgreener]

When I posted on the other forum about CH, BC said she was really busy that was about a month after her last post. It has been about 2 months now since she posted.
