MotownWebGuy Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 Considering the Admin account last visited the site on August 2nd, it appears the site issues may have worked themselves out... 2 Quote
Motown Bombers Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 Quick, while the forum is working, everyone needs to copy and paste all of their posts over here so we don't lose them again. Quote
chasfh Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 Good thing I have a long weekend to work on that! 😝 Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 I think I'm gonna stick around here. 1 Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 At least this place doesn't have that stupid Bet Rivers add with the obnoxious guy pointing at me angrily. Who the hell thought THAT image would entice one to go to their site? Quote
Motown Bombers Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 I like the mobile version of this site better. On the old forum, if I were in the Lions forum there wasn't a quick way to get back to the main forum page. On this site, I just have to tap the top banner. Quote
Crazy Cat Gentleman Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 I'm with everyone who's not going back to MTS. it's only a matter of time before it blows up again. 2 Quote

1984Echoes Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 It'd be hard methinks to copy all of our history from there to here.... How would we even do that? Quote

1984Echoes Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 Don't want to go through the hassle at the old site... again. Also: if anyone else is noticing... all those "topical" threads that were created at the old site are slowly disappearing... Quote
1984Echoes Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 Although they haven't eliminated my "Whoever killed this site is a Fu*kwad" thread yet... Quote
RandyMarsh Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 The only thing I don't like about this site is the editing feature. I'm not the best at putting my thoughts on to paper so often times after I post something and reread I will realize that I either didnt express the point the way I wanted, forgot something or just made stupid grammatical mistakes. If I catch them right after posting I can edit it but even then you have to deal with it saying it was edited but worse is if I don't catch it till a couple minutes later by which time it is to late to edit. I then find myself having to quote the post with an additional comment. Not the end of the world but something that I wish would be changed. Quote

Besides, I rank really high in Reputation Points and I since I am no good at anything, I want to challenge Bertie for the title..........if only I could photoshop. I dare you to like this.

Expand there were/are so many of those that I wouldn't be able to tell. but I do see that both my posts from this morning are gone. well, I guess one of those was a thread in the Tigers forum, so yeah, I guess I noticed one then. I'm not 100% sure it's intentional, though. I also read all the posts in the political forum this morning that I hadn't read before things went wonky, and when I went back there just now, they were all unread again. so it's like some state got reset in the past few hours. posts gone, reading activity "forgotten", etc. Edited October 15, 2021 by Crazy Cat Gentleman Quote

Expand I just finished cleaning up a bunch of the topical threads on MTS. I didn’t delete the earlier ones you referenced (I assume the admin did since he appears to have logged in), but I cleaned up the majority that remained. They were fun to read while the site was not operating correctly for a month, but now that it is back up and running, I wanted to clean up the “graffiti”. Wether you post there again or not, there’s too much history there to leave it trashed. 1 Quote
Crazy Cat Gentleman Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) actually, the thread I started in the Tigers forum was there (again) when I went for a look just now. so I stand by my theory of non-admin anomaly. 🙃 Edited October 16, 2021 by Crazy Cat Gentleman Quote

Expand I think MTS was set to 24 hours and you had complete discretion as to whether an edit was marked as edited. If I had to guess, edit max time is set to five minutes here and any edit is marked as such. OOTP forums are set to five minutes before it’s automatically marked as edited, and you can edit forever. That’s a pretty good system, at least the five minute part. It allows you to edit technical mistakes like misspellings and punctuation errors. Since I updated to iOS 15, sometimes a letter or space I type will double up and I won’t notice it until I post and look at it live. Quote
