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.
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.)
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.
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.
DarcyD Great idea! I prefer that, too. Done!
mr_blown_dry , @blown_dry , Do you think a " hybridizing" discussion tag would be appropriate?
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.
Done.
CiCiVacation The default setting only allowed editing until someone replied to the post. I've changed it to allow editing indefinitely.
What a bizzare default... well, thanks for changing it!
Mr. BlownDry, you are appreciated, sir!
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!
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.
I think we should ban User 2 from the forum.
Having the ability to modify a post allowed me today to have one post versus three. I made a short discussion, modified post to add an image much later, modified again to add additional information. I think having the added functionality of modifications of discussions has its advantages, but there will be inherent disadvantages that most of the time will be harmless. But, in terms of "risk" of the change, we're not discussing topics, such as prescribing doses of medication, that if given the wrong dose, can kill you.
