Hello

One thing ive noticed is that the forum doesnt seem to update with the latest posts, i know things are still pretty quiet as people are finding there way back but when viewing the forums it looks as if nothing has been posted even after refreshing, it gets there eventually but on occasion i dont see "new" posts for hours after they have been made

Cheers

I've also had an instance where I've posted a reply to a thread, the main listing of topics showed mine as the last post on the right-hand side but then when clicking on the topic, the reply wasn't in the thread. Later on, it didn't even list as the last post under topics view despite no other post after it. Strange.

I can't seem to edit posts James, or have I missed something??

Good Work Flash a lot of work gone into this. Thank you for your efforts from me as a Widnes Fan.

Note only the Forum is only showing updated posts when you log on. It does not show updated posts when viewing as a guest.

Sorry guys, been crazy busy with work past few weeks.

- The issue Anotherposter and others have mentioned appears to be due to caching (which means the page is stored and not reloaded on each visit). I have removed caching from the site, so hopefully this will resolve that issue.

Yes mate.

There's an edit button right at the bottom of each page of posts - on the left hand side, below "submit" "profile" and "log out" but if you hit it you get this response...

Sorry, you are not allowed to edit this item.

It’s not the easiest to see but this is the edit button I used BOB to edit my most recent post. Right at the top of your post next to your username

Thanks SV, it must be hard to see 'cos I don't see it on my page???

James,

For about an hour earlier tonight, I couldn't post anything in any forum. Tried two computers and my phone, all to no avail.
Managed to post eventually....... the same post twice!

There's no ability to delete or edit SOME posts. Possibly the original post at the start of a thread??

Cheers.

As I've sad a million times, tech and yours truly don't walk hand in hand, but................

On the old message-board, even someone as non computer literate as your Swinton member could copy and paste, but....................

I can't on here, so..................

Is anyone else experiencing similar probs, or (much more likely) am I doing summat wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Spelly.

I'll have a look at this, they all seem to be there for me, but perhaps there is a permissions issue.
