Technical questions about the site

[Brian861]

Anybody else not receiving email alerts? I haven't gotten any for subscribed threads or for emails in my Inbox. I was still getting them on April 23, but haven't gotten any since.

I didn't receive notifications for about a month in either folder. Then, they magically returned.

I check my junk folder daily in case stuff I want gets sent there. I must be one of the very few who does this.

If I’m on the laptop I will, because I can see the count of how many are in that folder. Since my phone email app just opens up to my Inbox, I always forget to look.

Ah, makes sense. I'm old school so all my stuff is done via desktop.

Real questions : wouldnt it be better if links were underlined on this message boards?
This is a web standards, allowing to see what is links / clickable of what is not.

For instance, with this post : https://www.thedarktower.org/palaver...=1#post1195458
If you dont pay attention, it's kind of difficult to find out there is an actual link

Very subtle, in my opinion, but it can change a bit significantly improve the ux

Underline the link/word BEFORE inserting the link.

You can also bold and make the link-text slightly bigger to help distinguish it from the rest of the post.

Yep. I usually bold so the link sticks out.

Me too. (Not that kind.)

I agree, and I tend to try to highlight the fact that the links I put are link. But not everybody does.... making it automatically would help in my opinion.
It could also make it easier to recognise spammer accounts that put random messages, if links, when they are not really visibile.

Anyway, it was just my 2 cent suggestion

Mine just magically returned too. So weird.

Thanks !
I personally think that it can only help.
For instance, who noticed that I had link into my post? Or the spammer from the other day?

The Collectible Classifieds thread is locked.

The "What sets us apart from other King sites" thread won't let you access the last page.

https://www.thedarktower.org/palaver...an-sites/page8

[Randall Flagg]

I show post#191 as the last post. It was made by you.

[Girlystevedave]

I promise there was a page #9 before now.

[Randall Flagg]

I promise there was a page #9 before now. :lol:

There was one shown on the forum. What happened was a spammer posted 50+ times in the thread. When the posts were deleted and the spammer banned, we needed to update counters on the site. I just updated the counters after your post. Now the thread shows the proper number of pages (8).


Technical stuff.

[Girlystevedave]

mother effing spammers. [shakes fist]

FYI, tonight we will be migrating all of the site info and files to the newly repaired original server. This will begin ~9PM PDT and could take up to 6 hours to complete. During this time, access to the site will be unavailable. Thanks for your patience and continued support of the site.

Can I contact Administration?
It is about advertisement on your website.
Regards.

We don't allow ads.

This is just a curiosity thing. Not an issue.

While fooling about in my inbox (Yes. I know. You saw a porn like that once.) I saw this:

"You have 4 confirmed and 0 unconfirmed private message receipts."

Can anyone explain this please? Have I been snubbing people with read receipts?

[Randall Flagg]

Looks like the 4 messages you received that the sender requested a confirmation, you confirmed.

None that I am aware of, but perhaps the Tapatalk experts have the answer.
