Hi Admin,


The Football Focus thread specifically seems to be having problems.


I press "post message", and go to a blank white screen (I know you mentioned something about this). Then when I go back to the Lounge, it isn't at the top of the list, and it doesn't say new posts, but the post is there.


Then later, someone else had posted a reply, but it still didn't have a red "new", and still hadn't moved to top of the list.


This is the only thread I've had this issue with so far, will update if I come across it elsewhere.

Hi there Admin,

how can I add to the message within the "edited 2 times at such and such a time by so and so" message that appears when you edit, so that I can say, edited because of cr@ppy spelling or suchlike? many thanks, I have seen people use it and wondered how it was done.


Many thanks

Oh, a few to answer here:

People just add their own bit of text at the bottom of their message

The weird stuff on the Football focus thread is on going and we're keeping an eye on it. Thanks for letting me know.

Unfortunately we can not show a snippet of what the PM shows, partly because we want to keep them private and reduce the risk of someone other than the person logged seeing what the message says. And partly because it is technically hard to do.

Sorry, I do not think a singles section would be beneficial to a large amount of people and would also confuse others. Similarly a couple's section or a games section or a weird section would just be to remove a few subjectively "annoying" threads out of the Lounge.

Good point, it does state that it's for East Dulwich residents and businesses in the terms but I doubt if people actually read them. I've got Admin to add some text to the message at the top or the wanted section and added "East Dulwich..." the wanted section's description on the home page.


If you're interested, typical email conversations with businesses go something like this:

Them: why can't I promote myself on the forum

Us: We're sorry, it's because you're a building company in Essex and the forum's for East Dulwich businesses

Them: but we have a client in East Dulwich so we are offering a service to people in East Dulwich

Us: Yes, so do British Airways, a Dutch cabinet maker, Volkswagen, Mrs Miggins tea shop in Cornwall etc etc but we have to draw a line and that line's East Dulwich. You can pay to advertise if you want.

Them: I think that's ridiculous


or


Them: why can't I promote myself on the forum

Us: We don't know where you're based and the forum's for East Dulwich businesses

Them: We're based in East Dulwich

Us: So please state your your trading address in your post

Them: OK no problem

Hi Admin or Mark,


Is there something up with the RSS world?


I subscribe to EDF via the RSS link in Google Reader, and it's been great till a couple of days ago. Now, all the posts show as they should in the reader, but when I click on the link on one, it goes to the "home topic page" i.e. Lounge, Wanted, General etc rather than the thread-specific-scrolled-to-the-relevant-message page, as it used to do. I realise this may be a google reader issue rather than EDF, but just thought I'd ask..


FYI the link I use for the RSS feed is:


http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/rss.php


and the link a typical item in the RSS feed itself gives is:


http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?9%2C217686%2C218577#msg-218577


which, looking at it, looks like a typical attempt to take me to the message-specific item still, but computer says no.


Thanks for any help,

Macker

    • The private sector is not going to build a significant amount of social housing. Everyone is very keen for *everyone else* to subsidise construction of social housing. I take it none of the objectors to this scheme was suggesting putting up council tax so Southwark could build more social housing...? Social housing isn't going to appear in serious numbers if the state doesn't borrow money and build it.
    • They must be really desperate to collab with Tesla. Honestly, it's not even the worst thing they've done. I've noticed these sex events happening in the last few months at a place that's supposed to be a restaurant and venue. I was planning my wedding there and was appalled by the setup for those events. When I discovered what was going on, I was disgusted by how they were using the same rooms as 'playrooms' where families are supposed to eat. The hygiene and safety concerns are just unacceptable. We really need to come together as a community to put a stop to this! They're destroying a sacred, Grade II listed building, and it's just not right. The owners need to be held accountable for their actions. It's time for us to stand up and protect our heritage and ensure that these spaces are used appropriately, especially when they should be serving families and the community.   sex events vid.mp4 sex events videe.mp4 Literally promoting it on their Instagram! Only just taken down after scrutiny.     
    • yes, which properly explains why they responded to me on this occassion, as i included the CQC in my response. I have spoken to the Health Ombudsman, and they feel the regulator is more suited to the issues I have raise for more than a year now. welcome aboard. its great to have you on the thread. so sorry you are also experiencing issues. has this been addressed as yet?
    • Tbh most Tesla owners are people who are concerned about the environment and have purchased accordingly- but mr nut job has soured their purchasing- so I actually sympathise with them being associated with such an awful man. But to actively promote the company given the knowledge we now know about him makes utterly unacceptable.
