I USE A PC AND INTERNET EXPLORER



I AM NEW HERE AND IN GREAT NEED OF SUPPORT RIGHT NOW BUT ALL THE PROBLEMS ARE MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO WANT TO COME BACK



I CANNOT CHANGE ANYTHING, FONT,SIZE OR COLOR. INSERT A PICTURE, HYPERLINK, THE SIZE OF THE FONT IS VERY SMALL AND HARD FOR ME TO READ. YES PAM HAS SHOWN US DIFFERENT WAYS TO ACHIEVE THIS BUT IT IS SEVERAL STEPS AND FRUSTRATING TO REMEMBER AND GET THRU AND BY THE TIME I GET IT RIGHT ITS LIKE THERE IS NO ENERGY LEFT TO POST TO ANOTHER TOPIC


A) You currently have to use the default settings or use the 'if codes' to change font size or color. My first post to Pam3 explains why we can not use hyperlinks right now. I will post it in the Tech Support Forum. If you want to reformat any of your text make sure you highlight it first and then choose the size or font. For colors, if you don't want to use hex values use simple colors names like:

black
green
blue
navy
red
orange
brown
grey
purple
yellow


LOGIN ISSUES AND ALSO I HAVE TRIED EVERY WAY TO TURN OFF EMAIL NOTICICATIONS AND IT WONT TAKE

A) Email me your login issues. You basically need to completely log out of the community and log back in from the myProfile link or from arthritis.org if you are not getting in.

B) Click on the Forum Settings link at the top right. Click on the email settings link on the left side. Select the notifications you want to receive by checking or un-checking the boxes.

THE SMALL WHITE BOX IS VERY CONFUSING TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHT YOU ARE POSTING

A) This issue has been fixed.

I DONT KNOW IF THIS IS A SITE ISSUE OR MY PC BUT WHEN I DO GO THRU THE STEPS PAM SHOWED US FOR MAKING THE FONT BIGGER I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY TELL THE COMPUTER TO ALLOW SCRIPTED WINDOWS EVERYTIME

A) Must be something on your PC. You shouldn't get that message repeatedly


AF DUDE I WONT TO BE A PART OF THIS SITE AND I FEEL A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE COMPLAINING ABOUT A FREE SITE BUT DONT SHOW OR OFFER THE OPTIONS IF THEY DONT WORK PLEASE, THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE US ITS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!

A) No Worries! This site is for you. You have every right to ask for help. If we can make the changes I will be sure to try and get it.

Pam,

It appears that this forum is run using software/service/server from The Port. My assumption is that they want it to look good and to run good. We all know how badly it ran over the weekend.

The WYSIWYG editor works, but is not fully displaying the window available to it. My guess is that a variable pointer has changed. This should require that it be reset to the former value that it had before it changed.

The Profile editor sometimes works, and sometime doesn't I was able to modify mine with a little effort, but I feel that it's not working correctly. The same is true for changing a jpeg.

I use a PC and explorer



Can only see two lines of text when I posting

When I go to reply to a post it takes me to my log-on and then all the back to the part of the website where all of the forums are listed, it used to take me right back to the thread I was wanting to post to.

cannot change font size

cannot add a pic

Thanks

I use a PC and Internet Explorer

I know little about computers and have no desire to learn more than the minimum I need.

The first problem I encountered was trying to change font size. I used to be able to click on Size=3 and the text would immediately show as this size. Now it gives me opening and closing code with the cursor between the two sets of code. I enter my post at this location and it will not accept the post without "content". I can put a character either before the first code or after the last code and it will accept the post.

Over the weekend I could not log on but this has either been corrected or corrected itself.

I only get two lines of text displayed in the message box for this post.

For a while it showed one time for a post when looking at the forum but when I clicked on a thread it showed a time that was different by one hour. I think that now works OK.

I have noticed random changes in functioning of the board without any prior warning or subsequent explanation. My impression is that someone or something is constantly tweaking the board with unpredictable consequences. I have not kept a log of these events but it has happened at random intervals for many months.

These changes make me wonder why I stay here. God bless.
