PROBLEMS WITH THIS (NAS) FORUM - February 2018

Disambiguating Cynosure

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...

  • Right now, I can't see any replies to a post because the page is stuck in the loading stage.  It would be better if all the replies were loaded with the page. I'd prefer that than having each page load new replies in real time, because that also results in a delay in seeing the words that I'm typing. That's pretty frustrating for someone who is impatient like me. Right now, I can see three top replies on this page and then the circles indicating that more are loading but they haven't loaded yet in all the time I have been composing this reply.

    I restarted Firefox and now I can see replies. They still take a while to load, though, and it is still annoying composing a reply because of the delay having the typed characters appear on the screen. I'm using a Windows laptop.

    I am receiving no email notifications or notifications of threads I am watching in the selection at the top of screen. 

    The so called fix obviously hasn’t worked, it lasted about a few hours, filled up my email inbox a little but nothing since.none since the 28:02:2018.

    so to find the latest reply here inbedded or at the end takes a lot of scrolling and loading of each compressed set of replies, quite often to find maybe a two word response. 

    Ipad tablet used. Still no pictures aloud when in PM area. 

    Still pot luck if pictures upload here also, same picture sometimes will load and other times not? No changevtonpicture what so ever.

    I don't think the notification problem is the same. The previous issue affected everyone, because the service that sends out emails failed. Others, me included, are still getting notifications, so that service is still running (also, we put an extra monitor on it). I would go back to checking your spam/junk folder.

    If you're not getting "live alert" notifications at the top of the page either, what settings do you have for thread-reply notifications? These can be turned off entirely (checkbox at left), or allowed only by email or only by live alert (checkboxes at right):

    I mentioned you in this message, so you should get an additional notification about that - depending, again, on your settings for mentions on the page above.

    I'm finding that pasting images into a message can take a little while - a few seconds, not longer. Sometimes I've thought that it hasn't worked, when actually I just needed to allow a little time.

    Does any of this help?

    Hello ,

    I am sorry to read that you are still struggling with the e-mail notifications.

    I could upload pictures in PM area as well yesterday.
