New Forum Questions and Discussion

Probably most of us have some varieties and topics in which we have no interest at all, ever. You can select Ignoring, and it will be as if the discussion never existed. ~~At this time, I don't know the way to reverse it, or if there is one, so use with caution.~~

To see ignored discussions: go to the discussion 'tag' like Photos or Chat and you will see ignored discussions in the list. To see all ignored discussions, type "is:ignored" into the search bar.

blown_dry Hi! Thank you for creating this. I'm not seeing the option to view ignored discussions, but this must be because I haven't ignored any yet? I imagine this will appear once I've actually exercised this option? Or even more possible, I'm not looking in the right place. 😬

You would click on one of the tags like 'Bouquets' or 'Chat' and IF you had ignored any of those discussions they would be be indicated and you could change the setting to see them again.
Ignored discussions won't show on the 'All Discussions' view.

blown_dry Ah thank you, I will keep an eye out for an opportunity to get started with this feature. For now, I’m devouring all of the social chatter, I feel like I’ve finally found my favorite people!

Krista I could post the details of the 20 minute site outage yesterday. Tell everyone all about the deprecation of the swiftmailer package in composer, caching, and the /tmp directory's permissions & its umask. Might inspire you to ignore something. 🙂

mr_blown_dry seems like you have given a perfect concise description to the issue. 20 minutes to find that problem sounds spectacular! Thank you very much.

Krista

mr_blown_dry Touché, sir! I stand corrected. And now will be forever grateful for your willingness to be the bulwark that protects us from the intrigue that is the underbelly of this system.

mr_blown_dry

Bessie Yes, but not a detailed description.

Fortunately, I'm obsessing over how it's running and watching for impacts on DA and I noticed pretty quickly. (DA was fine, the outage only effected the forum.)

Suggestion...not sure if you can do it, but when you follow a link it would be great if a new tab opened in your browser so you don't lose your place on the forum. Pretty sure that's done on this end if it's possible.

mr_blown_dry

DarcyD Great idea! I prefer that, too. Done!

Bessie

mr_blown_dry , @blown_dry , Do you think a " hybridizing" discussion tag would be appropriate?

Krista

Thank you for the new fields to add profile details. I really enjoy being able to hover over user icons and learn locations and zone. It's helpful for providing context to some of the discussions.

I would like to edit past posts... it seems like I can't after 24 hours or so???

Specifically, I want to delete my Christmas card image on the Open thread, as it is in the public space and I don't like my kids being visible for too long like that. Sharing with this community = cool; sharing with search bots = creepy.

mr_blown_dry

CiCiVacation The default setting only allowed editing until someone replied to the post. I've changed it to allow editing indefinitely.

blown_dry

Done.

CiCiVacation

What a bizzare default... well, thanks for changing it!

Mr. BlownDry, you are appreciated, sir!

mr_blown_dry

CiCiVacation For a general use forum, I understand it. It's the default so previous posts can't be changed to make later replies have a different meaning and so quotes don't go out of sync with the posts quoted.

Not all forum users are as nice and polite as the ones on this one. 👼

User 1: I love A La Mode!
User 2: I love it, too!
User 1: <edits original post> ==> I love Cafe Au Lait!
User 3: <thinks> Hmm, I better watch out for User 2, they like Cafe Au Lait.

CollaretteQueen That was all so long ago! I am sure it was a random seedling from another collarette in my patch but I have no idea now what it might have been!
