Questions and problems

I thought this might be a good place to put issues you are having, and we can try to answer them all here, or if needed, get things fixed that aren't quite yet working right

Editing a post - FIXED

Avatars and signature text - FIXED

Avatar changing when connecting to Facebook - open

Connecting with Facebook - does it put all your TCS posts in your personal profile?

Useful stuff

To change your avatar/signature (text only) - go to "My Profile" (up the top), and you should be able to click on an option to change your avatar right underneath the avatar itself.  Scroll down, and you will find the signature changing option.

Typing out smileys does not work - current default is Rich Text Editor.  So if you type in Rich Text Editor it will appear just like that.  If you like to type in your smileys, go to My Profile, Edit Account Details, then under Site Preferences you can change the option to be BB Code Editor.

Thanks for starting this, it will be nice to have a place to go and look to see if a problem has already been reported

Does the site seem to be running slow for anyone else?  Pages are loading very slow for me, I even tried re-starting.

Carolina, I merged your question into this thread (gave me a chance to see that the appropriate tool is working too).

I am seeing the same issue with the avatars - not seeing the link to replace the avatar. I have reported this to the tech team and I'm sure it will be fixed soon enough.

Keep the questions coming, folks. That's the way to squash the bugs and make sure everything's working properly!

Sorry if it is my stupidity.... But still don't know how to edit Avatars and Signatures - not even text and icons/thumbnails. There is nothing to click, nothing giving me an option to change my Avatar signature - no link, whatsoever. There is to edit subscription, create links, add albums - but not for the two I actually want to change....

Also, what is making it hard to read I think, is the width of the screen/posts - way too large!! Anyways to make them not read full screen?

Ok - I just figured it out - you need to click on preferences, then click yes to this: Constrain Threads to Constant Width

and no to full width....

Oh..... much better!!

It's very fast for me here. How are you doing with other websites? Maybe it's a problem with your internet connection?

Hum...... interesting.... Why did my Avatar change for my picture when I connected to Facebook through the catsite automatically? Lucky is cuter.......................... :dash:

That is interesting! I'll look into it.

Maybe the powers that be disagreed

Question:

Is there a way to make it so you don't have to click "Get notified when others reply?" dropdown menu when posting? Like a default selection...

Hope my question makes sense. Thanks

You certainly don't need to click on it.  Mine seems to be "immediately", but I'm not getting notified of anything as far as I can tell.

If you go to your profile, then Edit Account Details (toward the top, on the right), there's some notification options there,

Yes, there's a way there to set it up the way you want it. It should be set to "automatic" by default, which means you won't necessarily getting emails with every reply, but more likely a daily digest of replies. You can change that if you like, but setting it up to "immediately". That's how it's supposed to be working. Sarah, if you're set for immediately and not automatic and still not getting them, then we need to look into this. I'll go and test that myself.

The default on mine seems to be Daily Digest...... I shall check out preferences.

On that note....... I also noted that once you connect to Facebook through here, all your posts on TCS will be posted to FB - I was wondering if that will be on the TCS page or on our wall.... Do you guys know? I don't want my FB wall to be full of TCS stuff...

Oh, yeah - and thank Sarah!!

BTW - you guys are Rocking overthere!! Things are getting fixed super fast!! Avatar is fixed.... Sig is kindda buggy, but probably because I don't know how to use the albums yet - text is alright.... Edit button is working..... You rock!!

I can't log in using Firefox - "Remember Me" is superimposed over the Log In button. Right now I'm using Chrome.

It's working fine for me in Firefox (Windows 7). Which OS are you using?

My laptop has Windows Vista.

I'm fine on Firefox here - what's your screen resolution?

Yeah, sorry, not digging it at all. I'll miss this place but this color scheme is not at all agreeing with my eyes.

Migraine producing to say the least.
