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...

      Recommendation for garden labourer - Fernando Pinto

      By sal 86 · Posted

      I highly recommend Fernando. He did an excellent job cutting down  overgrown and prickly shrubs. It was a difficult job but he was so calm and polite throughout. Fernando is delightful to have working in your garden and is an incredibly efficient gardener He was excellent at communicating prior to the job,reliable and punctual. I will use his services again in the Autumn.

      Car dilemma - do you manage without one?

      🤣 Yes, I can't imagine they'd thank you for that. Sounds like keeping the car is probably the right thing for you.

      Car dilemma - do you manage without one?

      By Sue · Posted

      That ULEZ check is not necessarily accurate, as someone pointed out above. I did it ages ago. I don't cycle. I got a bike, had a space in a bike shelter (in fact requested one on our road), had a disastrous lesson from someone who appeared to think I was about nine years old, fell off and gave up. A refugee now has my bike and someone else has my space in the shelter thing. Our tent is too big to easily take on public transport, let alone all the other stuff. If you travel light, good for you, but my backpacking days are long gone, as are my days of happily sleeping in a tent I can't stand up in! I didn't know about this zip car point to point option. Is that to anywhere in the UK? Thanks but I did all the sums when I decided to keep the car, and the convenience for me outweighed the obviously considerable annual  cost. I don't think an Uber driver would be very happy to convey things like bags of smelly compost to my allotment 🤣 Which I can take on the bus but it's somewhat embarrassing 🤣

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      If you think about the amount you spend on keeping and using a car and how infrequently you use it, you might be better just getting the occasional Uber. We often underestimate the cost of owning a car, as opposed to using a cab. There is actually a name for it in Psychology ('the taxi meter effect'). It's likely you're spending at least £1000 - £1,500 a year on keeping a car (£500 on insurance, £200 on MOT and service / repairs, £180 on VED, Then the ULEZ fee each time you use it, plus fuel, plus depreciation... maybe minimal in this case). If you put that in a separate 'pot' and used it to cover the occasional Uber, you may find your needs more than covered.
