List of forum faults part 2

I got this problem right now hardly any of my messages have appeared today.

As reported here 

 .....and yet, no one, is allowed?.......to say ouwt? This NASmember feels suppressed, and vulnerable. 

Some posts are not appearing or are disappearing.

I'm not even replying to this thread at the moment because I'm scared that my reply won't appear, or will appear 3 days after I write it. It's March 1 today.

Oh!, well now I have replied to say that, I might as well mention at least 1 thing. It's saying 1 on the icon for pms, as if I've got a pm, and then when I look nobody's written to me.

What happened to the new platform? Apart from all the new problems, has anything changed?! It doesn't seem any different to me!

I have let the CM know.

A third thread that isn't moving when responded to

 RE: Show us your Pu55Y !! 

I have written to the Community Manager with regard to '3 Good Things' and 'What have you achieved recently' not appearing back at the top of the home page when replied to.

I've noticed a lot of new threads, over the past couple of days and they've pushed the others back 3 or 4 pages, even thought the last post was only a few hours previously, I think this is because of a busy forum rather than any malice or interfearance.

Also, last night I replied to the last thread on the 'home' page, it appeared at the top and then disappeared.

I did the same thing this morning.

I replied to a thread entitled 'Currently in the process of writing children's books etc' and that appeared at the top of the 'home' page but has now also disappeared from the 'home' page.

 RE: Currently in the process of writing children’s books aimed at young children’s understanding of autism 

The second thread (that I know of) to have disappeared from the 'Home' page.

I found it by search and then replied but it's not to be seen.

 RE: What have you achieved recently?? 

So, just to recap on the latest faults:

Threads that were last replied to no longer than 6 months ago aren't viewable on the home page (unless searched for which of course you only do if you know they exist).

Also, '3 Good Things', the most popular thread on the forum, is no longer showing on 'home' and when you search for it and reply, it doesn't appear at the top of the 'home' page.

This is the second thread that was made of it as the original disappeared.

Also, last night I replied to the last thread on the 'home' page, it appeared at the top and then disappeared.

Evidently - YES......but not in "appearance" terms nor "facilities available" terms.......but it appears that our "members experience" here just got EVEN worse.....again?!

Maybe our will to participate is being deliberately challenged, or maybe MY will to participate has run-out of steam.......but in either event, "functionality" here, for the users, has become fascicle?

Ditto

Based on my observations this evening......NOTHING can be stated with ANY certainty, whatsoever tonight.  EVERYTHING seems to be in flux.  I have posted things that are [unquestionably] unquestionable.....and yet they are simply "disappeared."  Everything has become VERY ethereal here, tonight......AGAIN!

Yep.

Last night I thought I was going mad.

I've just made this official complaint to NAS:

NAS is now providing a forum that is utterly unfit for purpose.

Members are constantly leaving because of the forum faults.

Some of these can be found in these links:

https://community.autism.org.uk/f/adults-on-the-autistic-spectrum/40078/list-of-what-is-currently-wrong-with-the-forum

The locking alone of the above thread was inexplicable and cause me a great deal of stress.

So, I created this one:

https://community.autism.org.uk/f/adults-on-the-autistic-spectrum/40983/list-of-forum-faults-part-2

You can see all the faults and how the forum is simply unusable now without causing stress.

You must have pages of correspondence about all this sent by members to the mods.

You have a duty of care and it’s not being performed properly.

It’s similar to ISIS bulldozing Mesopotamia – a fantastic place for autistics (especially late diagnosed) to connect has been destroyed.

The forum is now, for me, primarily a source of stress and sorrow.

Evidently - YES......but not in "appearance" terms nor "facilities available" terms.......but it appears that our "members experience" here just got EVEN worse.....again?!

Maybe our will to participate is being deliberately challenged, or maybe MY will to participate has run-out of steam.......but in either event, "functionality" here, for the users, has become fascicle?

Bunny.  Based on my observations this evening......NOTHING can be stated with ANY certainty, whatsoever tonight.  EVERYTHING seems to be in flux.  I have posted things that are [unquestionably] unquestionable.....and yet they are simply "disappeared."  Everything has become VERY ethereal here, tonight......AGAIN!

Apologies if this response to you is unwelcome.  I mean no ill will, whatsoever.  My choice of CAPS is for emphasis, not to reflect "shouting" at you.  If you would prefer me never to respond to any of your posts whatsoever, under any circumstances, please ask me and I will (probably) abide......or simply email the community manager to that effect, and I will (probably) abide to those requests too - or will be ejected from the community.

With sincerity.

Number.

Now all threads older than 6 months have been eliminated (I presume since the last update)

Don’t worry, that’s not the case. When searching for content, plenty of threads that are much older than that are still available.

For example:

community.autism.org.uk/.../231406

I have never been able to find anything I’ve searched for in the search bar.

I just went to the last thread now available which was 6 months old and replied to it.

My reply was showing but now it's not so it's either deleted by mods or aliens.

Madness.

Has anything changed since the weekend and the maintainance?

Yes.

Threads are disappearing from the 'home' page.

Correction......if you want to find the 3 Good Things thread......I find that I need to enter the following SPECIFIC search term = "3 Good Things (Redux)".......and then it appears under the search bar......but it still will not appear on the home page.
