New Liaison

Just the software.

@CWO:

Since we switched to the new forum software, I haven’t been able to post any picture attachments successfully.  The system gives me the attachment option, but when I use it the system gets hung up and what gets posted is a faulty file that doesn’t open.   I’ve tried using two different browsers (I.E. and Chrome) and it failed to work in both cases.  Has anybody else run into this problem?

It’s not new software. It’s a new server. Well, I did also upgrade the version of the forums software, which could be causing these issues.

SMF is a terrible platform and I will be making it go away soon enough. I plan on working on this project starting tomorrow.

…
I can change the subject name at will, again and again.
I can modify and erase, again and again, almost all of the message body, except I cannot left it empty.

@Imperious:

That’s why in these cases the Moderator can simply move this to where it belongs. I have no idea why that hasn’t been done already. The solution is NOT to allow the OP to just delete a thread which contains others people’s posts.

Here is above, another alternative solution (while waiting a Moderator) that an Opening Poster can do on its own Opening post.

It is possible to left almost everything blank, except for 1 single character (a dot is enough) in this two:
No subject was filled in.
The message body was left empty.

So if someone is starting a new thread in the wrong forum, just let him know that he have just to start a new one in the good forum and just copy the message body from his older one.
Then, once it is done he can erase everything and left a single dot “.” in both subject and message body section.

The OP is not powerless about is own post and starting thread.
He can also left a message like this: “To mod: Erase this thread, please.”

All the others replies can be easily erase by each author.

I wonder why :-D

To really feel bad … wait until you hit the 5000th post :) …

i think there should be the “get a life” rank from there on, trumping the moderator rank ;)

I have not seen this “problem” but your explanation makes sense.

Djensen today has made me a moderator. What I will do as a moderator, I don’t know. Hopefully, I will help our admin to keep these forums somewhat organized, a very hard job for 1 person.
