Question about the forum software

[oz_mark]

It appears to be affecting only random members. They only show on my New Posts page until I try to open them. After that, they gone just like any other read message.

Certainly didn't work like this for me. I only got rid of them following the directions of one JohnK.

Will have a look what happens when the next one comes out.

Didn't you guys try my suggestion from post #233?

It does work!

Thanks John, It does work ...

I did not have the opportunity to check it out until this morning.

Oz_mark and serfty, glad to hear that my workaround has helped.

OK, next question.

What happened to the "mark this forum as read" button? I don't get around to reading everything on the forums so I used this button occasionally before logging off so that upon my next visit, the "new posts" button was a bit more user-friendly.

I've looked around, but I can't find a way to mark the forums as read.

When you are in a forum, there is a link called Forum Tools, click on this, then you will get the option

Thanks oz_mark.

So the option to mark all forums as read is now gone?

Regarding the Community Newsletter Forum:

I have decided to delete the Forum as I know that it was causing problems for some people. Also wasn't adding much value - you should be receiving the Newsletter by email anyway (unless you have opted out of receiving it or its caught up in your "spam filters").

 

[oz_mark]

Toward the bottom of the forum home page (http://www.frequentflyer.com.au/community/), at the end of the table that lists all the fourms there is a link that says Mark Forums Read. Not having tried it, I assume that it would mark all the forums read.

BTW I just got an email with this weeks updates and it does not appear in my New Posts list

Well that explains why I don't see it Must have been composing our messages at the same time....

Likewise although I got the email twice

I've started to receive duplicate notifications for subsribed threads too.

Beat me to it. I have been getting duplicates for subscribed threads as well.

I only got the weekly email once though.

While on the subject of emails, once upon a time I seem to remember the AFF gazette being emailed as well. I have not had an email about this for a few months.

 

[JohnK]

I subscribed to the newsletter with your email address.

 

[oz_mark]

I am back to receiving just one email about subscribed threads now.

I've just received 4 x Australian Frequent Flyer Community Bulletin emails.

 

[serfty]

I've just received 4 x Australian Frequent Flyer Community Bulletin emails.

Me too...

They were sitting in my inbox this morning, all postmarked July 14th with times of 6:09, 6:12, 6:21 & 6.24. ...

 

[admin]

We had a slight problem this morning with our server, just as the Community Bulletin newsletter was being distributed. I knew that some people received the newsletter twice (shouldn't have been 4 times though )

Apologies - hopefully, won't happen again!

 

[oz_mark]

Four times? I feel so ripped off.

 

[Yada Yada]

Four times? I feel so ripped off.

Yep, pretty close to serfty's times: 6:10, 6:13, 6:22 and 6:24am.

I guess that those with names starting later in the alphabet get their emails a little slower. A bit like the way Qantas seat allocations work.

 

[oz_mark]

I got mine at 6:04 and 6:16 (well for me it was 4:04 and 4:16 ).

Not sure how they fit into the order of things!
