Just edited my last reply to mention the Internet archive service which may be of use to some people.

 

[Jon]

If you go to that internet archive link, the first post at the top says, "Site down - out of memory." I remember those days all too well, but they are now history!

Google didn't like our old site. Here is their report in Google Search Console...

 

[Jon]

Actually, there were 4 separate types of errors for mobile that led to tens of thousands of errors from Google's perspective.

I'm sending in the fix notifications to Google, since we have now switched software and they fix all of these things.

@isladogs Have you not seen this? Just like thread tools.

Actually on reflection, that's not what I meant. That dropdown is only for moderators to use.
The old Thread Tools allowed all members to manage their own threads including marking them solved.
That is a feature we still need

 

[Jon]

Are you sure the old Thread Tools allowed all members to manage their own threads?

All members do not have the permissions to edit threads, such as other peoples posts, make them sticky etc.

Marking threads solved was a plugin.

 

[isladogs]

Yes. All members could do that before.

I was looking for that a couple of days ago

 

[Jon]

@MickJav Do you mean looking for Solved?

 

[Dreamweaver]

Yes

 

[Jon]

Yes. All members could do that before.

Could do what specifically?

 

[vba_php]

OMG, we have 27 users on at once! Is that unusual or does that happen from time to time? Trying to work out if engagement has gone up.

well if the word is getting out Jon, that there are intelligent people lurking around here, more than likely people will start flocking to your site because they know they can learn about a lot of things. And such an event certainly won't hurt you any....

 

[isladogs]

Could do what specifically?

Mark their own threads as SOLVED or change that back to UNSOLVED

 

[Jon]

Ah yes, that was there. Standard level members had a very different thread tools to mods. The mods had all the edit thread, sticky thread etc. functionality.

It was discussed here whether we should have Solved or Best Answer. Any ideas? Both?

 

[isladogs]

Both. Different purposes.

 

[Jon]

I feel another poll coming on...

 

[moke123]

Then whats this?

Is that a leftover?

 

[Jon]

It is indeed. Hey, perhaps someone can manually edit the a title on one of their own threads and see if that does it.

@moke123 Nice to see that you are using the dark theme. Me too, because its evening.

 

[moke123]

@Jon I've been avoiding getting real glasses and use cheap readers. I find the dark theme easier to read. It just sucks when you open a different site and get snowblind.

 

[vba_php]

hey Jon, I think i remember seeing something about this via someone else's suggestion, but can you put some boxes in users' CP's where it lists their Access version, windows version, whether they are new to the program or not, etc, etc....?? I've seen that on a lot of other forums, like Dream In Code:
