Question for Jeff

Question for Jeff was created by CindyL

Hi Jeff. I just clicked on the image icon and a whole bunch of words came that in a strange language! I'm kind of thinking it may have to do with directions on how to post a picture. Is there any way it can be translated into English?
Thanks in advance!

When I bring up the reply box, there are some icons just above it. For example, an undo icon, find, select all, spell check. In the next box beside these is bold type, underscore and a few others. On the bottom row, there is a link and unlink icon. Then in the next box over is the image icon, smiley, confidential and a few others.
These are over the reply box, but not on the quick reply box.

Me too Jeff - same as mrsb - get the 404 message. And had to click on a number of things before even getting to the message section.

I just clicked on the box that says "Go to Editor..." below since wasn't sure what it was and got the 404 message there too.
Isn't it fun to update things

I think I fixed the PRIVATE MESSAGES component. To access it I went to my profile picture >selected the arrow to expand the menu >selected Private Messages >then selected the Messages tab.

Is there another way you get to your Private Messages? If so, I may need to fix that too.

I asked my programmer to remove the "Go to Editor" button, since it is not working.

Cindy, that is just sample Latin text. It doesn't pertain to anything and isn't anything important.

Does it work to just copy the website URL from the address bar and paste it into the box?

Yes, it does work, but you have to use the "Editor" and not the "Quick Reply".

HI, Jeff. Love the new look, it's rich looking.
Two things I noticed today, I can't mark all the posts that are old as read and on the main page, it has drbean's avatar instead of mine.
Nothing too major, just more curious as to how the avatar got switched. Hope you can fix it.
Thanks for all your hard work!

Cindy, Are you able to edit your profile and change your profile picture back to what you had before? I don't know what your profile picture was, so I can't do it for you.

Click on your profile image from any post in the discussion group or click on this link: pdsa.org/user-profile.html .
-Click on the "Manage Your Account" tab near the middle of the page.
-Under the "Edit" menu item that appears underneath, click on the "Update Your Profile" link.
-You may then add or change your profile image, contact information, password, forum signature, etc.
-Click on the "update" button at the bottom to save your changes.

Neither of those two suggestions worked. Your profile came up under my picture (right above this post and one a few posts back) and the same with the link you posted. Any other suggestions?

Cindy,

Could you tell me the exact buttons/links you are clicking on so I can try to duplicate the problem? For example... "I click my profile thumbnail image in the Discussion Group Menu at the top, then the 'Manage Your Account' link, etc.

Thanks, Jeff

Sorry to butt in here Cindy/Jeff - but it won't let me send a message in this section, all I could put in was the subject

I was able to send a message to Margaret in a different thread but I could NOT edit it to make a sentence make more sense

I couldn't edit my post to add:

I have checked the same "new" (no longer new as I have looked at it a number of times now) reply in the adults section and it still shows it not read - there is no where to click on "mark all read" -

Mel, don't take this the wrong way, but I'm glad you're having issues too! lol I was beginning to think I was alone with the issues. I too couldn't edit my reply when things started working properly again. Then it went back to the way it was when I first reported the problem to Jeff.
I forgot to look at make sure my profile picture was right today. I'm assuming it is as it's been working properly for the last couple of days.
I did have the "mark all as read", but it wouldn't work. I tried everything Jeff had suggested, but nothing worked. It just started working all of a sudden. Hopefully all the kinks will be worked out soon.
