    Forum issues

    Ever since the last "upgrade" I've had difficulty posting anything to this forum.

    When I attempt to type a reply or post something the fields do not populate with characters as I type. It takes an excessive amount of time to write ANYTHING !

    Please FIX THIS !

    I'm trying to keep a good attitude about this but the forum needs to be fixed.

    I'm as dumb as a box of rockswhen it comes to the internet, but I do just wonder what was wrong with this forum as it was, seemed to work just fine with me!

    The software has to be kept up to date in order to prevent hackers from corrupting the site or disrupting it. Rather embarrassing if an automated program starts posting ad links like mad in order to get clicks for revenue or to boost their position on Google searches by having lots of posts with key words link to their site.

    Even worse when the auto posted links are to porno sites which is a popular way to promote those type of sites. Nothing says family friendly like "Hot Girls XXX Free" ads in your forum.

    Think of upgrade as like oiling a barrel to prevent rust, preventive rather than reactive. We all know putting metal back in a pitted bore is harder than preventing it in first place, even if it still shoots fine today eventually neglect catches up with you.

    I suspect the spell check is checking as each letter is typed rather than only at end of word. I noticed the red underline is often there as I type a word rather than at end. Maybe a real time bad word filter. Or something like that. It will get fixed I'm sure. You can always type what you want to say in text editor or email then copy and paste text from there into forum as a temporary work around. Email program usually has spell check which can be a plus.
    Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.

    Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.

    There is a fix posted above. It works.
    Please don't get too riled up about this forum. It is one of the best and software glitches happen!

    The "glitch" is almost as disruptive as the hackers.

    I still can't upload a .jpg photo from my computer. Is this part of the glitch of which we speak? Something else?

    May be but it could be the size of the pic. Most use a photo hosting site then link the pic here. Saves on you allowable pic space on the forum.

    I don't think it's the size of the photo; photo space is not an issue either. Same camera and settings I've been using for years. I'm using Windows 10 and Microsoft Edge browser.

    Are you getting the attachment management screen?

    I can upload a pic from a PC, but not my phone. But that's been like that from the start, so I plan accordingly

    The typing issue seems to have improved but I still can't edit posts.
