Special Request

Given that we have just moved the forum to a new server could I please ask that you all act as testers for the new system?

Throw a report of any problems you find that did not exist last week into this thread and they might even get looked into

I'm getting the occasional blank screen thrown at me for some reason, first, second and third times it occurred was on my 'first day at uni' thread but it's just happened again on odies room. Seems to be older multiple page threads for some reason.

OK, I'll see if I can reproduce it - thanks.

It seems kind of cold, foggy, cloudy and rainy. Like we have been tranformed onto an island or something. Maybe it's just me. I think I'll go have a spot of tea.. Ta Ta..

Not noticed any problems.

YZGI: chuckle.

I'm getting it on recent threads I click to readand after I post a reply. As soon as I reload the page, it appears.

I'm also still getting it, and on more recent threads too.

Post by **Bryn Mawr** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:57 am

I've had it a few times, mostly when I'm trying to post, and it's a pain in the proverbials.

Given how intermittent it is it's going to be difficult to track down.

Hey Bryn,

I'm a member of another site that has a notification system. This system lets you know immediately if another member has responded to your post, and also if they 'liked' your post. It's really a nice function. Anyway of getting that function here in FG?

Odie · Post by **Odie** » Sun Aug 14, 2011 1:30 pm

good afternoon Bryn:-6

I'm on roughly 4 or 5 forums each day pending on my time, one which at the end of any post there is a 'thank you' button, so when you click on it, yourself and others see that you have thanked that person.

just wondering if you could set up ours like that as it really gives members an appreciation or just thanking them for anything...

thanks

If the other site is running vBulletin then presumably it is available and it sounds like a useful addition to being notified that someone has responded to a thread you've posted in - I'll investigate.

As to having a like / dislike function, the Garden does have some form of rating system for posts / threads as well as a form of member reputation system. I believe that they were turned off due to misuse but, again, I'll investigate.

That's a new one on me - but then I've not visited many other forums. I'll look around and see what's available.

Thanks Bryn,

I'm not crazy about rating posts. This is just a little notification that you receive...such as ....Kathy Ellen quoted or liked your post. It's just nice to see. Yes, it's a V5 board, software by IP.Board 3.2.1

Sadly that's running on software written by InVision Power rather than vBulletin. I'll look to see if there is an equivalent to run in the Garden.

also Bryn, when the board had changed into the huge mega-structure, I can no longer see what the smileys icons read after you click 'more'

can you please make them readable again without having to scroll over each one?

thanks again!:-6

So, when you've clicked on more and the separate window has appeared containing all of the smilies, what does it look like?

For me, it has row after row of smilies each of which has a green label underneath with the name of the smilie in black. Is that what you see and, if so, what would you want changing?

More than a quarter of sexual assault victims were aged 10 to 14 years

During 2010 there were 17,757 victims of sexual assault recorded by police, 25% of these victims aged 10 to 14 years, according to figures released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).

The majority of all sexual assault victims were female (85%). Females were also more likely to be victims of kidnapping/abduction than males (58%). Males were more likely to be victims of homicide & related offences than females (62%). This was also the case for robbery (65%) and blackmail/extortion (65%). Female victims of sexual assault aged 15–19 had the highest victimisation rate of any age group, at a rate more than seven times the overall rate for sexual assault.

Of the selected personal offences, weapons were mainly used in the commission of murders, attempted murders, and robberies. A knife was the most commonly used weapon in committing these offences: 33% of murder victims, 28% of attempted murder victims, and 18% of robbery victims were subjected to an offence involving a knife.

Most instances of murder, attempted murder and sexual assault took place in private dwellings (murder 59%; attempted murder 57%; sexual assault 60%). Community locations were the most common venue for kidnapping/abduction (55%) and robbery (59%).

Males aged 15–19 had the highest victimization rate for robbery, more than five times the overall victimization rate for robbery (56 victims per 100,000). Among females the victimization rate for robbery was highest for those aged 15–19 and 20–24.

And... this is relevant because???

I think fuzzy meant her smilies were fine, as are mine. I think there's something up with your computer, maybe you should do another system restore or clean down your history. Have you tried using another browser?

oops......and yes, there is something wrong with my computer, I have to shut it down at least 4 times a day. I have used firefox and internet, I tried google chrome and it just wasn't the same. I also no longer get spell check.

please delete mine and yours.

I suspect that this is a problem with your browser's rendering of the image, not the image itself.

In Firefox select Edit -> Preferrences

In the resultant window select the contents tab and click on the advanced option after fonts and colours

Is "allow pages to chose their own fonts instead of the selection above" ticked? If not then try it.

Do the same with the colours option

Does that help you see the title?

my firefox does not have 'preferences'.....it only has 'all', when I click on it and press control 1......nothing happens.

It either has Edit -> Preferences or Tools -> Options depending on which version you are running. The actions once you are in there should be the same whichever.

I know they should and after I tried them all, none have preferences, they just say 'all'

some say options, then net, general, tabs, privacy, applications, when Icicle on any, its not there.

I have a person on ignore. I notice that there's a new option to view a specific ignored post. When I click it, instead of getting the post, it goes to "New posts."

Has there not always been a chance to view the ignored persons post, I was under the impression there was and that's why people complained the 'ignore' function was pointless as they were always tempted to take a look. If it's been doctored to stop people doing so then all the better surely?

Then add to that the "go to last post" frog that goes to the first post instead.

I'm slowly starting to find my way round the code so I'll have a look but don't hold your breath.
