I think you have lost you mod status that's why you can't edit any posts. If you look at the main page of the forum, you are not down as a moderator anymore. I also noticed Forum Admin isn't down for Geo chat section.

They were all there earlier on so not sure what has gone on.

AFAIK any member should be able to edit their own posts. Yes i noticed Ive lost the mod status for some of the sections, although I'm blue, which means global moderator.

Still got the issue of having unread messages despite reading them. Also, the 'new' icon is still there next to posts, despite the fact that I've read them.

I can edit my posts.

Try this link. It's the link used to edit a certain post. This should allow you to edit your post #28. See if you get any error messages.

Edit by Dave:
I can edit all posts now, even yours! Grin

I also like the fact that you can recall PM's that haven't been viewed by the receipient. Similar feature that exists with Outlook for emails.

Alot of members receive emails when they get a new PM. Once that's been sent, there's no way to recall it.

I also notice that when you use quote, it places quotes within quotes. So if you're quoting someone who quoted someone else, then you get a quote within a quote. I hope that makes sense. Good.

Hmmm.

My subscription to this thread disappeared and I have only seen the new messages because I decided to view it manually.

I also currently have no Reply button available and the only reason I can reply is because the Quote button is available and I then deleted the Quote. So more than a few things wrong to say the least!

Oh I see there is only a Reply button for the last and first message on the page. In the old forum there was a reply option against every message wasn't there? Again doesn't seem like progress. Smiley

Ok everybody take a look at this thread from Yabb's own web discussion forum where Karsten, the lead YaBB forum software developer, says he has now fixed the problem of Message Notifications (subscriptions) and PM notification status not being carried over from the old to the new forum software versions on conversion. But he hasn't yet found out how to do this for already converted boards so I wonder if there is any chance of persuading Daniel to re-convert our board to V2.1 again using Karsten's new fixed forum converter? Undecided

I realise this would mean losing all posts made over the last 24 hours or so but its probably the lesser of the two evils. Also Daniel is there any way to re-email dorf with his password which he seems to have lost or something?

Here is the YaBB discussion thread:-

www.yabbforum.com/community/YaBB.pl?num=1131508359/30

You may perhaps recognise a certain djblamire and NonGeographicalMan who post in this thread. Roll Eyes

Hope you can give this a try as soon as possible. NGM

You can click on the Reply button on the bottom of each message summary or click the envelope thingy against each message and use the Reply button in the screen that brings up.

But losing all message subscriptions and the ability to communicate with nearly all other forum members by PM is really killing discussion in this forum just when it needs to be busy. I hope Daniel can run the fix for message and PM notifications tonight.

I've suddenly got 9 messages all in one go, not sure why, but I need to reply to them and can't at the moment

Thanks to Daniel for fixing this! We now have a Recycle Bin, so should any moderator remove a topic by accident, it will be able to be restored. I doubt we'll need that though!

The forum isn't back to normal though as the termination of all thread subscriptions and blocking off of PM facilities for most members (unless they learn how to turn them back on) has killed most forum communication and posting stone dead.

What is Daniel doing about implementing the fix to restore PM status and message subscriptions offered by Carsten over at the YaBB web forum? Smiley
