A few more design tweaks to the Forum

We made a few more minor design tweaks to the forum that you may not have noticed. These tweaks are designed to make the forum more readable and less cluttered. - We removed the ad in the first reply from the blue box. We think this makes it more obvious where the replies to the posts are at a glanc...

Re: Can't login and posts erased

Good find!

Unfortunately, the only explanation I can come up with is the account must have posted spam. That is the only reason both the account and the posts would be deleted. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

Re: Can't login and posts erased

Ian, I could not find any of the email addresses you sent me. Are you sure you were a member of this forum and not the MakeMusic forum? We are not affiliated with them. The fact that you don't remember what email address you used makes me question whether you have the right forum because I found no ...

Re: Can't login and posts erased

Ian, The server company for this forum accidentally corrupted the database a few months ago and some posts were lost. No accounts were lost though. My guess is someone posted spam from your account and your account was removed along with any posts. OR you had not posted anything in so many years tha...

Re: File Attachment Issue

You need to go in and remove one of the attachments from the attachments tab. I edited the first one and now it only shows one file.

The only thing you can do is re-attach them to your post by editing it to get it back in the database.

We were able to do a partial restore from a backup on 9/1/2020 and merge it with the new attachments since September 17, 2020. Please check your attachments and see if some missing ones turned up. I noticed some seem to be back ( Motet's transposition chart ) but others are still missing ( Peter Tho...

Re: Problem deleting attachments

Guys,

I am unable to duplicate this problem. I can attach a file (image or .mus) then delete it. I can attach a file, preview the post, then delete the file.

Re: File Attachment Issue

I don't think that's it. I think it's more likely that if you edited a post that already had an attachment, there may be a bug in the forum software that doesn't grab all the attachments when you save the edit. We're still looking into it.

Re: File Attachment Issue

Motet reported this issue yesterday. There is no automatic removal of attachments by age or any other metric. We don't randomly or automatically prune the forum. The only thing that gets pruned are spam and inactive users. So far we can find no evidence of a hack but we've asked the moderators to ch...

By request we have increased the avatar file size, and dimensions limit (slightly). This may have affected some of the avatars. You may need to go into your profile and reupload your avatar to get it to work.

Re: Two forum suggestions

Everyone would like to get rid of ads, but it likely won't happen. We could try a donation button, but I'm not sure how many people would donate enough to make it work.
