aveschapinas Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) Testing too; I also don't have an edit button on my older posts. Quote I really don't know what you mean in this message. What does "lets see how long it lasts" mean exactly? We've seen that the edit button is there for a limited time after you post. It seems to disappear rather quickly and we can no longer edit our posts after that. OK - yes, I have the edit button (actually a clickable link, the word edit in blue next to the word quote at the bottom left of the post): Edited June 28, 2018 by Aveschapines Testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aveschapinas Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 OK; I kept watching and refreshing. My edit button disappeared five minutes after I posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what to tell you. Sorry but I've got a lot of other things to work on and this is one of those weirdnesses that I could spend a lot of time spinning my wheels on. Maybe there is some kind of issue or maybe its a feature :-). Lets just keep an eye on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Here's a question I've been wanting to ask since I signed on. When I open a discussion, is there an easy way to go directly to the first comment I haven't already read? Thanks for any insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a dot (or star if you've posted in that thread) at the left of the topic title that brings you to the first unread post in that thread.

Charlie Spencer Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Thanks! I thought the star just indicated that I'd participated in that discussion. It never occurred to me to click on it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will find it in your profile and can now add your location to it, like City, State. Got it! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Thank you so much for not giving up and getting the forum back up and running! I was so sad to see it down, began to worry that WhatBird would do what so many once great forums have done by shuttering and switching to Facebook - which would've been horrific. Thanks again and I am so sorry you had to slog through so much strife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mila Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Here's another question: I hope there is never a problem as the one we just went through, but if the forums come down again, is there a place where we can get information / updates on what is going on?

SeeHear Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) Forgive the suggestion, but I have the impression that there is a setting that controls how much time is available to edit comments. I just searched an Invision support forum and stumbled across this. I don't know if it applies to the situation of users not being able to edit comments after a far too brief interval, but it appears that Invision may have a simple solution. I'd prefer an unlimited time, which seems to be an option. Edited July 5, 2018 by SeeHear 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
