Forum Updates Coming on Wednesday (3/10)

[moriond]

There used to be an easy way to mark all posts read (without reading them). Is there still a way to do that?

[ayazgood]

Thanks, Moriond. Hiding in plain sight.

Hey everyone

The system sometimes incorrectly auto-moderates a post. If that happens, it will flag it for us Mods to see and we'll go in and approve it.
This has happened to perfectly acceptable people & posts, so don't worry about it.

Please be patient as it may take several hours for one of us to catch it, depending on time of day, etc.

If you think one of your posts has been auto-moderated and not restored after a full day or so, please use the Message system to alert one of us.

I used to mainly browse the forum from the compact list of all topics, ordered by most recently commented on. Can’t remember the page title. Unread topics were in bold. Does that still exist?

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature, as they say, but I posted a reply in the TN thread and then when I went to edit it shortly after, it was flagged as potential spam/needing moderator approval. I hadn't done an excessive number of replies or posts prior to that (I think that was my first activity in a few hours), and my comment didn't include any links.

If it matters, I'm using the Brave mobile browser on my iPhone.

Weirdness. Will look into this: in the meantime, I just approved your post!

This has been happening to several folks - so far there doesn't seem to be a pattern to browser used... it does seem to happen when people go back into their approved posts and edit them though that doesn't sound like what Surrealle encountered.

Sorry for wording it poorly. I had commented, then went back to edit it and that's when it was flagged. So it does sound like the same as the others.

Thanks for the approval Darcy!

And I just had to approve your reply... Had you tried to edit this last one?

Yeah, sorry, it didn't let me finish my edits from the first time around. I didn't realize it would lock it again.

Thank you!

Still having trouble with the search function.. I searched "EDC" and it appeared to only bring up results that were created or edited since around April of this year. Is there any way to get more scope with the results?

Edit: I tried playing around with the advanced search options and some of moriond's suggestions from before but they didn't help.

The Forum indexing changed when the site moved. The bots that index websites seem to be catching up, so your best bet right now is probably to use google search outside the forum.

Okay, thank you.

Sigh.. Sorry mods, just locked another of my posts from editing it (in the 8/24 preorder thread).

Is there some kind of threshold for that? I feel bad when I do it because I never know when it's going to happen and then it's too late.

TB is looking into what triggers it, just hang in there, we usually catch them within a couple hours.
