List of what is currently wrong with the forum

Deleted User

I was wondering if most people who contribute here are fine with no current problems, so I thought a list might be useful.

I'm rather despairing at the moment of its brokenness and absence of communication from NAS about a timescale (or anything) for sorting these.

It's making me wonder whether to bother any longer.

1. I know that   has a message coming up in orange at the top saying his account may/will be deleted.

2. I keep being logged out (orange banner at the top with a seconds countdown).

Is anyone else getting anything still (or even unable to use their original account?).

Has anything been sorted?

Thanks.

  • I tend to produce typos, if I go back to edit a post more than once it gets quarantined for moderation. What in a user editing their own post is suspicious, what is this irritating glitch supposed to be guarding against?

    The reason for this is a lot of spammers bypassed previous filters by first posting an innocuous post then coming back and editing it to add a link that would have been stopped in the original post.

    On the previous site here, editing more than twice would have had the same effect I recall - it certainly happened to me when I was correcting something and added a typo by mistake and tried to correct it.

    I suspect by making the site "safer" that it has just become more intolerant to our failings.

    Surely the logical thing to do is have functionality that re- filters messages after edits, rather than quarantining them? If an original post can be filtered, then an edited one should be filterable also, rinse and repeat.

    Look at the problems NAS had with the site upgrade - I suspect they are becoming very change averse with the forum and would rather leave well alone than risk breaking it again.

    The lack of communication and even reduced mod presence here shows they are not allocating much money to this part of their online operation, so I don't see it being of interest to them.

    While there is no better platform to migrate to, we are all likely to end up back here eventually in spite of its problems.
