    As you can see in the little video, I recorded with our "Gojo" test user logged in, the first thread I clicked on the arrows had 4 post, but it showed the beginning of it, not the last post.
    Hmmm. The User settings-> account -> Display mode is set to "posts", not to "latest" as I was testing. But I don't know if that has something to do with it.

    Hi Kotei

    I just wanted to follow up and say that mysteriously the down arrows have started working for me. Not sure what changed …. And of course I can’t completely discount the chance of user error on my side

      Just a note ...

      I notice that, in addition to "private messages," we now have something called "visitor messages." I meant to PM someone and used the latter. Note that the latter IS NOT PRIVATE! I found this online ...

      This is just a heads up for those unaware. When you click on a user, you go to their profile. There is a text box open there for you to write a message. That is not a Private message, it is a Visitor message that can be seen by any member who views the profile.
      If you want to send a private message, when you get in the persons profile, you must click on the 'Private Message' button.

      I really dislike this. It was better before when you clicked on a user name, you were given options, one of which was 'send Private Message'. It was very clear.
      When you were in a profile, there was an option to leave a 'visitor message' which was also clear.
      This new way creates a visitor message without ever telling you that is what you are doing. The 'private message' button hovering over the text box just adds to the confusion.
      tboy , is there any way to get around this issue?

      edit: also, if you are in a thread, next to the user name is a 'bubble', which if you hover over, says 'start a conversation'. This will be a PM, but the 'subject' will automatically be entered as the thread title. You can backspace that title away, and enter a subject of your choosing.
      I guess that there is no way to switch off "visitor message," yes?

        I believe there is no way to disable it globally, but a more granular way of handling it.

        Everyone can choose in the User Settings->Account if the visitor messages are enabled or disabled on their profile.

        There are also options that can be set on a per Usergroup base:
        Can Post Visitor Messages to Own Profile yes/no
        Can Post Visitor Messages to Others' Profile yes/no

        So we could deny posting messages on Others' profiles, which would save us from accidentally mistaking it for PMs, but allow doing it on the own profile.
        That would imho change the nature of this feature from "I can leave a public message on the profile of someone else" to "I can post some text on my own profile for others to read".
        Setting both for all groups to "no" should in effect disable the feature completely.

          Thank you Tairin,
          I have still no idea what happened there. The only time they didn't work for me was as I tested with different browsers and forgot to check the "Remember me" checkbox during login. It logged me off after some time and I accidentally viewed an open channel (sub-forum) as unregistered visitor.
          Glad it is working for now

            The PM system system is unworkable, and there is no spell checker. People with me cannot communicate because I cqannot type, and because I hqave dyskexia.

              I have dyslexia too, so it is no problem to read your writings with bad spelling and tangled words. We understand.

              I am sorry about the message system, but I and the others are getting your messages now. So, it seems you have figured it out.

              As to spell-check, Kokuu suggested an excellent idea: Write first in a WORD file, then cut and paste into your message. How is that?

                Some kind of internal error is popping up while auto saving your forum post. I just lost several sizable posts to it and it even crashed my browser on my last attempt.

                It happened on a tangaryo post for living by vow, chapter 1 to me.

                Thanks,
                Brett

                  You know that there is a memory recovery functions that is usually pretty good for cases like that. I usually can recover 90% of posts where I accidently close a window, suffer a rare page crash, etc.

                  The forum seems to be running well. Some issue with your browser or computer at home?

                    It’s my phone, safari, and it was the memory recovery that was having the error I believe. I’ll try again later from a computer.

                      I have some trouble with the time showed in the forum because it keeps showing the real time in China, while I'm already in Mexico. Is there a place to adjust the time accordingly to the location?

                        Hi Kaitan,

                        top right, when you click on your avatar, you can choose "User Settings" and there click on "Account", where you can change your timezone.
                        Don't forget to "Save Changes" afterwards.

                          Hi everyone,

                          looks like all messages in my Inbox of the Message Center have disappeared.
                          When I go to the "Sent" folder, i only see a couple of messages, strangely though not the last ones I sent (around August last year). There are also a bunch of messages left in the Archive folder.
                          Is this a feature or a bug?

                          Gassho,

                            Maybe I can help, as something like that happened with me yesterday. I think that the message center only shows a few messages per page now, but if you look in the upper right in Message Center, you may see that you can look at earlier pages ...

                              Hello Jundo,

                              Thanks, but unfortunately, there is no such box with selectable page numbers visible for the Inbox. The Inbox contains just a single message thread from 2019, the rest is gone (including all the messages between the two of us when I met you in Japan last year). The Sent folder has the box you showed above in the screenshot, but it has only one page containing a couple of random message threads (again, also those messages I sent you last August are gone).
                              Will try it from a Windows PC this evening, but I guess the problems seems to be in the database or migration related.

                              Gassho,

                                Probably, when the move was made to the new Forum, they were deleted. They have to be deleted anyway when the box is full.
