New Forum Fun, Questions and Glitch Reports

What is the significance of the numbers next to the links?

I do believe that number is the number of posters who have clicked the link.

How many times the link has been clicked. Not quite the number of posters that have clicked on the linkā€“if I click five separate times, the number will increase by five, not by one.

I posted a link to a video and the video itself, not the link, is showing in the post.

How to change that to just a link, so the video itself is not showing?

Not every reader wants to click on a video link, or see the video itself.

It looks like if you post the link on a line by itself, it becomes an embedded videoā€¦ if you put something else on that line as well, itā€™s just a link.

This should work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjcMTkGdjXk&ab_channel=TheLateShowwithStephenColbert

I donā€™t know if this has already been mentioned, but there is a thread that I posted on that seems to disappear and reappear when I look for it in the H/J forum. Today is the first time Iā€™ve noticed that happening here.

OK, when I went back to the H/J forum just now, and I had been booted off the site again so I was not logged in, I could see the missing thread in question. But a moment later, when I got automatically logged in, that same thread disappeared from sight. And I still canā€™t see it. I have no idea what happened there.

@MHM which thread is it?

The thread title is something about whether thoroughbred divisions fill at shows other than WEF.

I would log out to see if the thread becomes visible again, but I have no idea how to log out, since Iā€™ve never had the chance. The site keeps booting me off all the time. Lol.

This?

If youā€™re not able to view in the forum list, can you still click the link and access, or no?

Ok, the link worked, and I think I figured out what happened. It looks like I had accidentally muted it, which I guess means it doesnā€™t show up in the list? But now Iā€™ve unmuted it, and itā€™s visible again. :woman_shrugging:

That makes sense! Glad you were able to figure it out!

Thanks for the help. Iā€™d hate to think how long it would have taken me to figure that out otherwise. I can imagine it might have been an extremely long catch 22 cycle. Lol.

That works, thanks!

This is minor in the grand scheme of things, but it appears that if someone sets their profile to private, it is impossible to ignore their posts. Would love to be able to ignore someone who posts really offensive things, but cannot do it because ā€œthis user has set their profile to privateā€ and as far as I can tell, thereā€™s no other way to formally ignore someone.

You can set up ignore in your profile, and itā€™s possible to ignore users from there that have set their profile to private.

Click your avatar in the upper right, then your username, then preferences. Itā€™s under users :slight_smile:

Someone posted a new thread in CE this morning, the TN bomb one.
Now two posters have reported seeing that thread in the Hunter/Jumper forum?
OP insist it only posted it on CE.

May be a glitch to be checked out?

Thanks, Simkie!

This morning, I donā€™t have any top to my pages?

To change forums I have to use the hamburger lines.
