I've been scratching my head over this too. Can't you sign up for notification? Here (Canada) we can and even specify the type of recalls you want to be notified of.
Sorry folks, Access World will not accept my posts

In response to this @DakotaRidge and I are very interested in examining all possibilities for implementing controls with multiselection capability and store those values in normal child tables...

It looks like the system quotes previous replies. I don't do it. I am happy to type "BlueSpruce #460". But Jon is correct, I didn't realize this for several days. I got it now.

@BlueSpruce and @DakotaRidge ,
I created this thread for all things related to using MVFs and how they work.
People can provide examples like doing recordset manipulation and query manipulation.
Hopefully it does not become a discussion on the limits and cons of MVF because that discussion can be found everywhere.

MVF Discussion and Uses (If you plan to Use Them)
Since there is a lot of discussion now on MVF, I created this thread to provide discussion on what you can do with them and how to use them. There is plenty of discussion of the cons of MVF and what you cannot do with them, so no need to rehash that here. But assuming you are planning to use...

Someone asked to see the message that AW sends when it blocks a post, here's what I just received when I responded to a reply in another thread. All I did was thank someone for his help. Perhaps he had something in his text. I removed his text, and it worked.

On UA you had to specifically use Reply with Quote I seem to recall?
If you want to post the way you did there, then just start a new post, in the area at the bottom of the thread.
I prefer the way it is done here. You can always delete non pertinent words.

I don’t know about others but I think this thread has run its course (and then some). This should have been posted in the Site Suggestions forum. This is similar to the great idea to create a new thread regarding MVFs.

First, the suggestion to move thread has been implemented. Second, the questions:
Nightly, three or four "escort sites" and several gambling sites and a few sports book sites. Occasionally, advertising sites of a non-vulgar - but still purely commercial - nature. Bad enough for Jon to decide to implement the rule. He tuned it a couple of times before reaching 100 as the limit, because shorter limits were not very effective. I am sad to say that I started to recognize the sites by their IP addresses and name patterns. Most of the questionable sites were casino or online gaming sites. Some were sports betting sites. Some were escort sites. One particularly distasteful site involved rooster-fighting a.k.a. c.o.c.k-fighting, a truly inhumane way to treat an innocent bird.
One man's opinion, but very effective. Since I'm one of the moderators who has to clean up after such spam, I claim FRACTIONALLY more of a valid viewpoint than average, but still only one man's viewpoint. Usually, the spam that comes in now is from someone whose account didn't raise any alarm, but their innocuous member name turned out to be related to a business looking for free advertising.
No. It is "Has a Link" or "Has No Link." No keywords involved.
A couple of older accounts appear to have been hacked, leading to mostly "escort site" spam. Otherwise, not very many that I can recall.
I think there are antiviral scans but otherwise, no. Instead, we have some threads that are locked and require moderator approval - for which the expectation is manual review of the submission. Other non-moderated threads, not so much scrutiny.
Again, a narrow viewpoint. I have not personally identified any bots, but the moderators don't usually announce such things - they just whack the account. On the other hand, we generally know spam when we see it and, to be honest, don't CARE whether it was or wasn't a bot. In either case, it becomes history.
Other moderators, feel free to respond to post #94 if the spirit moves you.

I don't know the technical answers, but there is a more practical answer. Jon would have to buy the Xenforo add-in for each of those abilities - if it exists - and his budget is not that big. The advent of Google's AI, Gemini, puts the squeeze on LOTS of help sites including this one. I understand that Xenforo has lots of add-in options, but none of them are free and Jon really WOULD like to make a profit now and then. He has done a lot for our security issues and has implemented many nice visual abilities, but he has lots of expenses to consider. For example, he has retained technical posts from a couple of decades ago. Contemplate the amount of storage space needed at the hosting site for 20 years worth of posts.

I am retired, on a fixed income, and not at all wealthy or I would contribute more than just services, Jon.

My only purpose in starting this thread was to tell folks why I wasn't responding to them and that I wasn't being disrespectful.
I appreciate every comment that those two threads received. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I am still interested in learning how folks add animation to their applications. I may start another thread on the subject one day when I hit the 100-post mark. It is a technique that I would like to add to my applications.
Know that if you post to my first two threads on AW, I won't be able to respond to you. I can read them, but that's all.
