PROBLEMS WITH THIS (NAS) FORUM - February 2018

I accept that this may be a "Bad" Topic, yet it needs to be highlighted, surely where "NAS" can *not* avoid seeing it, surely...

Current Problems with this Forum:
- Posts Disappear and Reappear at Random.
- Notifications are not always received (apparently).
- Editing Posts - *after* they have been replied to.
- Things such as "Groups" or "BlogPosts" or "Questions"... seem to have no meaning, and so they cannot be applied...?
(Anyone reading, you may currently check your own "Profile" to confirm this. Click upon your own "Achievements", and then upon "List of Possible Achievements".)
- ... There is a great list of "Achievements". Again, many of these have no defined meaning and so are un-achievable. (Linked to "Questions", "BlogPosts", "Ideas", "Status"...?)
- Assigning "Tags" to a New Thread seems to change constantly, and has neither Logical Order nor Meaning.

Here is the "Main" Thread, at which Comments directly to NAS are supposed to be Posted... yet much of it is completely ignored by NAS; It is only responded to by "WebPM", but for whom NAS would not have this "Forum" in the first place, I would wager...

  • Some screen shots of the same thread with and without the missing messages would be helpful. They can be sent by private message. Please identify the thread (by name or URL) and the times at which the shots were taken. This gives us some evidence that we can show to suppliers and/or internal developers. I can't recall actually seeing any instances myself - which, again, is why screen shots help.

    Our difficulty with further new threads about forum issues is that they tend to repeat some points. That makes it hard to keep track of the things that need attention, and the degree to which all of you agree over them. I realise, on the other hand, that long threads can become hard to navigate. At the moment, our focus remains on making it easier to identify new messages since your last visit; obviously, being sure that all the messages that should be showing are actually visible is an important part of that.

    Regards (and thanks for the New Year wishes!)

  • Um... Greetings... I came back due to this message Mr.Webby...

    ...Thanks again... but... only from myself, I am perhaps not the best at fulfilling such a request insofar as it helping you to identify Errors, Times, Places... I only recently learned how to screenshot, my devices are old. yet most of all... I cannot Private Message!

    Also, I am uncertain of raising the sort of "Community Spirit" required for such a request: in short - Not everyone will read this Thread, and do as you ask... yet I shall try to, and shall try to Post what you ask here... yet it IS difficult for me.

    ...DongFeng, Robert123, LoneWarrior... for example... and DeepThought, SeniorMoment, SpottyTortoise, and   "  .   "  (formerly Nasally-Enhanced)... I cannot recall everyone just now... These persons so far are better at this than I am... *wimper*...

    I shall try... and may Post after this some links to Threads which display this behaviour a lot. (Mr Robert123 stated that a lot depends upon how a Thread is "entered". YET - I myself think that this behaviour occurs less upon older Threads than upon newer ones, if that may be helpful to you.)

    This reply is long, I know not what else to add, and rely much upon others, now ( ... )... Thank You for your time.

  • Thank you. You have drawn my attention to the mistake in my message, because I did not ask about whether this is happening only on phones, on tablets, on desktops, or on all three. Please do mention which of these you were using when the problem occurred. If you can be specific, it may show us that it is happening only on particular devices, for example.

  • So it wouldn’t allow the picture you see but allowed the screen captured image prior to hitting Reply, error message again.both are screen captured images btw.

  • A picture loaded and about to hit Reply!

  • After many attempts at adding a picture and each one vanishing I screen captured the above and it actually worked,

    the error message generated after failing to upload the picture, I wonder how long before it vanishes?

  • Well I replied with a lengthy report on what I have found wrong, I then tried adding a picture which I have posted before on here only for it to all vanish?

    getting a bit fed up now.

    I will post this and then try a picture post after it.

    Hi DC thank you for finding all those threads with missing pictures,

  • More Links to Picture-Heavy Threads. And an Error Report.

    This is A "Random Topics" Thread, which has a lot of Pictures, Some are there, some have gone:

    community.autism.org.uk/.../community-forums-miscellaneous-and-chat-general-chat-random-topics-est-january-11th-2018

    ...And, I assume that this is the "Pet Photos" Thread to which California refers...? :

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

    ... Message, upon clicking a picture-Icon, and opening it as a New Tab (Example from a User named "Palbus", of a "Patterdale Terrier"):

    Unfortunately, the page you've requested no longer exists. Please use the search form above to locate the information you're interested in.

    ( community.autism.org.uk/.../IMG_5F00_0459.JPG )

    ...The first (Starter, "Deleted User"'s) Picture I can still see (a Tabby named Daisy), yet the rest are gone. By way of experiment, I tapped upon one of my own pictures in the Random Thread and another in the Aspie Quiz Thread... and after more than One-And-One-Half Hour of waiting for the Pictures to "Load"... they still did not Load. (!)

  • I also have noticed missing photos in the past few months.  

    But unfortunately cannot find a post this minute that has a missing image.

    In place of the photo there is an image indicator.  I once pressed and held that indicator and the original photo reappeared.

  • I have also noticed missing photos. Photos in the Pet Photos thread are missing.

  • To Mr.Webster...

    I have written a number of other things below, which you may peruse at your leisure. To yourself, that you ask such things, is quite frankly a thing deserving of a great astonishment. I suggest that you do not "Log On" as yourself, yet rather investigate what is happening to others (Users, Visitors) as we must do, as with less authority than your good self.

    When Pictures Disappear, they sometimes leave a little Icon... that is all I can say.

    I also said that it is likely that not many shall read this Thread and so I cannot do much about that. In any case... It is getting late now, and so I can think of not much more to write apart from Good Fortune to you... and to this Forum!

  • Greetings, this is me, fast, are you still online, someone "liked" you yet I was busy with my reply below, and so that was not me - just then!
