Problem with posting links on the forum

Is this the right place for what used to be "about this forum"? Hopefully!

I have just posted in  the Events section, including a link to our ticket site and a link to our website, and although both the links are correct when editing, neither of them are coming up as the full links on the published post, so they are either going to the wrong place or not working at all.

Is this something I am doing wrong, or is it a forum glitch?

Hi Sue,

Its best to use the Contact Us link which you can find at the bottom of the website to ask me questions - that way it goes to my inbox. 

To answer your question, there is a button at the top of the text editor for making a link. Press that and you'll see a popup. Just type the link URL in both of the fields in the popup (e.g. www.wegottickets.com/thegooseisout) and it will work

Ok, thanks!

The 'contact us" link is a bit lost beneath a load of other stuff, but also thanks for pointing it out!

The picture you've shown isn't what I see when I post, btw - I almost always use the app on my mobile.

Hijacking this thread as I have a similar query.

Where do I find the 'control panel'?

Using Chrome on a laptop...

Might that be what you see when you click on your User name, top right?

If you are using a laptop, click the name at the top, then 'Account Settings'

If using a mobile, click 'More' at the bottom menu -> Account -> Account Settings

 

Or use the shortcut here: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/settings/

Thanks, I did try that, I'm specifically looking for drafts, a search came up with a post saying they were kept in 'control panel'.

I can't find anything in Account Settings for either.

Meds, thanks for your reply too...

I believe 'Save As Draft' was a feature of the old forum software which allowed you to save a post message you had started typing out. The forum software was changed in April 2023, so you may be looking at a post prior to then.

The new forum software doesn't have this because 'drafts' are automatically saved as you type. If you enter a post without submitting, then close your browser then come back, it will automatically restore your post message.

 Thanks for your reply.

Ironically it was losing a post because it hadn't been automatically saved as a draft that triggered my initial query.

I've done a search and found the post again that I was referring to, here it is...

It's dated 6th Sept '22 so indeed it  was before when the software was updated in April '23.

Thanks for clarifying...

      Fake barbers

      By Cancerian · Posted

      I watched this BBC expose on the news a week or so ago and wasn’t surprised at what they found although ii’s shocking when you see what the Police uncover. The amount of nail bars in London appearing almost daily is also cause for concern. What I can’t understand is the places that were raided had thousands and thousands of pounds of unpaid gas, electric etc bills.

      Looking for a GP with experience of autoimmune rheumatic diseases

      By Soylent Green · Posted

      GPs are general practitioners, hence the name; they are not specialists.  Specialist doctors only work in hospitals.  Each GP surgery has a catchment area; you cannot just choose a GP because you think they are the best match for your health condition, you have to be in their catchment.  If you are not happy with the one you are currently with, ring round the others nearby and find an alternative who is able to take you.  Then, work with your hospital clinic and the GP together to maintain your health. As an aside, I have a chronic autoimmune condition and have had no problems with the shared care of my GP (The Gardens) and hospital consultant ( I am under Prof Heneghan).  I visit the clinic twice a year, they advise my GP of any changes and the GP does my prescriptions (which include a controlled drug) and my blood tests in between.  When there has been any queries about compatibility or suitability of a treatment, the GP contacts the team at Kings for advice.  The system works perfectly.   Good luck with your change of GP and give them any hospital letters when you sign up.  A GP along cannot manage your condition, so you will need to ask your hospital specialists to set up a new shared care agreement with your new GP (this has to be done this way; a GP cannot set that up).

      Japan for holiday - how expensive is it now?

      By Jamesh31 · Posted

      We went as a family of four in October. Flights were OK (Cathy Pacific, in their January sale) and accommodation was relatively expensive in Tokyo (definitely not £30 a night) but food/drink/transport/shopping were way cheaper. Easy to feed four of us in an izakaya for £40 including drinks. Shops like muji & Uniqlo half the price they are here. We ended up needing to buy an extra suitcase. Was an incredible trip
