Site Upgrade

[KitaYama]

It was definitely there before, I used it frequently.

To be honest, it's a surprise to see so many members visit this site daily., and only two of them have noticed one of the most helpful utilities the software offers. It's not a matter of it was used or not, what surprises me is, that icon was sitting there all the while., and nobody noticed.

I've enabled the Weekly Digest, while excluding The Watercooler and Politics section from the weekly email. Can someone keep an eye on it and let me know if they get the weekly email and if it did exclude those two sections?

 

[Jon]

Enabled my auto-reply post for new members in the Introduce Yourself section. Wait and see if it still works.

Update: It works.

Solved Thread 'Accss being consistently inconsistent'

Aug 20, 2024

I know it rankles some when I say that but let me demonstrate!
I have three drives that are part of the data paths for my system.
Drive "J" is a portable hard drive.
Drive "Y" which is a mapped remote drive.
Drive "Z" Which is a mapped remote drive.
When I run the software in accdb mode access finds all three drives.
When I compile the software and the accde starts automatically, the "J" drive is found but the required folder is not.
The two mapped drives are interrogated successfully.
If I now run the accde file separately all three drives are found.
The problem is that...

Note I have responded and corrected the layout - but another small issue.

If I highlight text and click the </> button, only the first row is displayed. e.g.

function something()
dim a as integer

dosomething

end function

It was a problem when you first did the upgrade, then seemed to go away.

workaround is to highlight the text, copy it, then click the </> button and paste

Also links now display differently - I'm seeing

rather than the blue bar and the first couple of lines

Ok, I see what you mean now. You have found one way to do it. The other way is to highlight the text, and then right mouse click and choose Paste and Match Style, assuming you are using Chrome.

Additionally, you can use the copy code button in the top right hand corner of the code window, which will copy all the code formatted correctly.

They do, and I don't like it. So, I've just found how to convert internal links back to how they were. Here we go...

I use Opera as my go to browser and Safari on my iphone, neither have the paste and match style option. I do have the option to paste as plain text so my routine is now highlight and copy, then click on the code button and paste directly into the insert code window.

@Jon - just noticed this and to be honest, I don't recall the behavior from before the upgrade. If it is a hold-over, then I have a suggestion. If it is new behavior, then I have a report.

In the "Reports" section where people report bad member behavior, if I close a report as having been "resolved" and then someone else comes along and makes a follow-up post anyway, I would have thought that if you didn't choose to re-open, it should make no status change - but it does. It re-opens the report. I would think that once a report is closed, it should stay closed unless you explicitly open it again. Just an opinion.

Can anyone else tell me if they remember seeing this Ignore link in the list of threads, at AWF?

 

[Minty]

Yes - i just found an old thread about it:

Feature to ignore selected forum sections

Thanks for the feedback Colin. I'm pleased its made things a lot calmer for you because I know you found the other noise a pain in the butt. There are very few options with this plugin, so you will have to manually unwatch them. This is the control panel, and as you can see, not much there:

Thanks for that link. I've enabled the Ignore link. I will ask forum members if they want to keep it, or if it is clutter.

So, who votes for keep, who votes for remove?

 

[Gasman]

I vote to keep, as it saves having to actually go into the thread, to then mark it as Ignored.

 

[moke123]

I concur with GMan

 

[Minty]

I much prefer it on the main page.
No need to go into the thread, click ignore, click back from the extra view it gives you, then finally close the thread. 1 click instead of 4 wins for me every time!
