RWO site issues, disruptions, suggestions, announcements

No big deal, but sometimes new responses don't seem to register in the menu. That is, the red chevron to signify a new post doesn't appear, the response count remains the same and in its current manifestation, if I push the icon that should take me to the last post in the list management thread, it goes to page 80 instead of page 82.

Understood. Thanks again Liz.

I've approved your post.

There's no need for you to post an alert in this thread. When I visit the site, the first thing I see is alerts at the top of the page warning me if there are posts waiting to be moderated. I'll see that alert before I scroll down and see any post in this thread.

Of course, it might still mean it takes a while before a post is approved (or deleted if it truly is spam) since I have to visit the site to see alerts. Today I was out and about (at a Magritte exhibition at AGNSW).until late afternoon.

Hi Liz, it's happened to me again in my latest post in the List Management thread even though i have no links inserted & just responding to my earlier post. Sorry to bother you again!

[KSAS]

Thankyou Liz!

I've approved that post. Have no idea why random posts are identified as spam. There are a lot of actual spam posts correctly identified as spam (and dealt with) - far more than the occasional valid post that gets caught by the filter. So the filter is definitely of value (to me, having to deal with the actual spam posts).

Hi Administrators, my recent post in the 2025 fixture thread included a club 2017 link which has been deemed as a possible spam & requires Admin approval. It won't let me edit my post. Can you please attend. Thanks.

I have diagnosed the issue with "remember me" not working.

As I mentioned earlier, I was logging in with https://www.redandwhiteonline.com. After logging in, the site was redirecting my browser to "redandwhiteonline.com" (no www). The login was not valid for the latter website, so I had to log in each time.

I edited my bookmark to remove the "www" and this fixed the problem for me.

Apologies for that downtime, I overlooked setting up an auto purge of the database archives so ran out of disk space. That sent the website down. All fixed and properly set up now.

I have no idea what you're using to view the forum, but control-+ increases the font size in Firefox. Perhaps there's a similar setting that's available for your browser or software?

Woohoo, thank you TS. I use Safari on my Apple devices. I had poked around in Safari settings earlier, but your reply led me to take a closer look. And lo and behold there is Page Zoom setting which I have now increased from 100% to 150%. Problem solved!

2. is there a way to increase the font size? I find it seriously challenging to read at the font size that appears for the forum on my iPad.

Grateful if someone could tell me:

1. what the black triangle with an exclamation mark inside it, next to some thread names, means.

Additional notes - I have to log in even if I'm opening another window in the browser where I have already logged in.

Here is the link I'm using: https://www.redandwhiteonline.com/

I seem to have to login more times than I used to - "remember me" only seems to last a few hours?

Anyone else getting a bunch of random ? Marks appearing in posts when posting from the mobile site? Really strange.

Danzar, I really appreciate you getting the site back up and running. I missed it more than I thought. But when I go to post (either from my phone - that I never could before) or my computer I'm told my post has to be approved. I'm guessing the same will happen to this. It kinda kills spur of the moment.

I've approved two posts you've made today. No idea why this is happening to you. It does seem to only be you, apart from actual spamming accounts.

Edit: Actually it's not just you. I just approved a pending post from Big Cat. But it's not everyone. And not many. I just went to poke around the admin and moderation modules to see if there is some flag against your name. But I can't see where such a flag might be if it is possible to put an approval requirement on a poster's posts. I have a feeling it is, or has been in past versions of the software. I'm pretty sure it's been used for a couple of irritating posters. But if it's still there I don't know where. Danzar will need to dig a bit further because it's beyond my know-how.
