Potion Master Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 What's going on here??? They are upgrading the forum. We should not lose any content, but we lose the look and all features have to be reset. The forum rebuilds itself slowly, and is only at 14% right now so do not panic. Yet.
Potion Master Posted April 3, 2018 Author Posted April 3, 2018 Change is hard. How do I even add a picture of my Cabuppy? Oh, there it is...
Potion Master Posted April 5, 2018 Author Posted April 5, 2018 You should be able to edit your posts now, I think, can someone please check? All the emoticons are still there. Click emoticons, then categories in the upper right. Then click the word emoticons.
Potion Master Posted April 5, 2018 Author Posted April 5, 2018 I think the way this image thing is working is that each person has a small amount of allowable space for uploaded pictures, and then you'll have to delete things if you want to add more after you are full. But you can still link things in that are hosted elsewhere.
Eggers Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 I was able to edit a post a couple of days ago, I think? Since the upgrade. It was in one of my journal threads. And I was able to make one of the old emoticons with the code. I'll try it again here: Yup. It works that way.
Potion Master Posted April 5, 2018 Author Posted April 5, 2018 Halo, you are not members group you are admin group so everything should be open to you. I need members group to reply.

Potion Master Posted April 5, 2018 Author Posted April 5, 2018 lol, Eggers. Does anyone know how forum skins work? If I buy one and upload it, will it erase the LP logo on top or will it stay there? Thank you!
Kayla Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) I'm just testing to see if I can edit. ETA - Yes. There is now an edit link next to the Quote link. It's working again. Edited April 5, 2018 by Kayla
Potion Master Posted April 5, 2018 Author Posted April 5, 2018 I may have just created a distaster. I tried to load a simple skin and now I have no access to the admin area. omg, what have I done.

Potion Master Posted April 5, 2018 Author Posted April 5, 2018 I can't get into the area to fix it. It's GONE.
Potion Master Posted April 5, 2018 Author Posted April 5, 2018 An error occurred (500 Error) We're sorry, but a temporary technical error has occurred which means we cannot display this site right now.

Potion Master Posted April 5, 2018 Author Posted April 5, 2018 Luna can't even see the site anymore, and the hosts are kicking it upstairs.

If you Google exactly what you typed above it gives you these two links: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/406468-installation-error-white-pagescreen-after-db-is-created/ http://invision-virus.com/forum/index.php/topic/2939-halp-4x-installation/ I don't know if this is helpful or not, but thought it may give you some insight. Technology is great when it works.
Potion Master Posted April 5, 2018 Author Posted April 5, 2018 Thank you Kayla, I give up. I just posted on FB to try to hire a web person, the tech of the world has surpassed me.
Kayla Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Good luck on your search! I'm sure you'll find someone quickly.

It was hard to figure out, and its been so long now! Sometimes I tweak text colors or something, but that skin is on for life lol. I agree. Hire someone. You've got more important things to do, like creating magic and creating punch for tomorrow,,,,

But photos I copied from a photo sharing site, where I had personal photos stored did not impact it at all.
Lainey Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 The header is smaller now but the LPMP logo is gone...but I am glad the forum is back up! I have to look for emoticons now.. You will post scent descriptions and notes... This. is. amazing. Me about 80% of the time... Oh good, I can't live without this one!
Potion Master Posted April 6, 2018 Author Posted April 6, 2018 A bunch of things reverted after the fix yesterday, I just changed them back. Try again if you were having problems.
Beccah Posted April 7, 2018 Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) Oh my, I don't do well with change. But change I must. ETA: Hmm, well I can't change my rank title anymore, but now I can change my profile photo. I have been trying to do that for a couple months now, so... Edited April 7, 2018 by Beccah
Beccah Posted April 7, 2018 Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) I noticed that our location/interest/genders are now on display w/ rank & avatar? This Mercury Retrograde is bringing some quirky little glitches. Edited April 7, 2018 by Beccah
Lainey Posted April 7, 2018 Posted April 7, 2018 There are a couple of people on the Facebook page (not sure whether it was chat or the official page, sorry) who are complaining that they can't log on. I tagged Mara but I don't know if she saw.
Lainey Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 I was in, and then I was out, and then I was in again, and then I was out, and then I was in on my ipad but not my laptop, and then I was in, and then I was out, and now I'm in again. Whew! I'm getting whiplash. I hope the tech support people have got it straightened out or will soon!
Potion Master Posted April 12, 2018 Author Posted April 12, 2018 It's not the host any longer, it's dependent upon your local ISP. I can get in now at my studio, but no one can get in at the shop 5 miles away, on a different provider. It has to do with how fast the provider recycles the memory space.

Does that mean this will keep happening? Because that would suck. I am in now though so I'm happy.
Wolf Dreaming Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 I noticed that there is a "quote" button, but I can't seem to find the "Edit" button for my posts ...
Eastwood22 Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Yeah, we can't edit at the moment, we'll have to work on our proofreading skills.
Potion Master Posted April 15, 2018 Author Posted April 15, 2018 Can you edit now? I think things reset to default when they migrated us the other day. I set it up again. I think it says that you can edit for 30 minutes after the past is made.
Lainey Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) I'ma try. ETA: Yup. Edited April 15, 2018 by Lainey
Eastwood22 Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) I'm checking editing... edit- and that would be a yes. Edited April 15, 2018 by Eastwood22 Because Mara is pretty
Blanche Posted April 23, 2018 Posted April 23, 2018 Hello, does anybody know how to set up the notifications? I am getting emails for every new post for all threads I am following. It is pretty annoying, I tried to turn it off, but it doesn't work. Any idea? thanks

Any idea? thanks Not sure, but when I was posting in/replying to a thread, the forum was automatically assuming that I wanted notifications. Before you hit "submit reply," make sure the slider toggle right above is over to the left and isn't green.
Witty Kitty Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 I would like to return to having the former little red flag notifications pop up on my screen for the threads I follow (as opposed to the email notifications, which I turned off); I can't figure out how to set that up. The settings seem to only allow for you to choose to turn on the emails.
