QuoteYour technical ability is well known Phil.  ;)  Problem cleared up after about an hour. Luck on finding the bug Leon

What I want to know is why I don't have 'Global Moderator' or Administrator (which I don't want to play with......though I have the buttons.)....next to Phil2..

Sure that's why the forum can't cope with me.

Sodding thing. ;)

Because the Techno account will have these privileges. The Phil2 one is probably just a normal account. 

The forum doesn't know that it is the same person using those two accounts.

You've got the Global Mod level on your account, but it might not show next to your name.  Just check whether you can edit someone else's post and that'll show whether you've got Mod status or not.

Only Von can cope with you Phil  ;D  ;D


This is true, Ian.

(If this works I'd appear to have the Global Mod facility.)

Cheers - Phil.

Hmmmm.....Though you do have to look very carefully to find that the post's been modified..and by whom.
On the old forum....Bless its cotton socks..It was really obvious. ;)

Well spotted, Ian. :D

I'm frigging sure that there's a big glitch between what you get on a PC ....and what you can see on a phone/tablet.

On the PC......I get the option to kick out "All unread messages"...Which is great...My preferred option....Not interested in anything that's not got anything to do with PD.

Don't get that on the tablet...No clicky button at all....

The tablet ?.......I need to go through every single message..(one by one)..and delete, singly.

That'll be the OP system - Windowsa on the PC and Andriod on the Pghone or Tab - or Apple.

I'm still getting different 'new posts' showing, depending upon whether I use the 'Unread Posts, 'Updated Topics' (both right hand corner) or the 'Latest Posts Thingy' at the very bottom of the home page.

So for example in 'Updated Topics' Stu's post and the replies introducing himself didn't show, yet they did in the other options.

I'm confused to say the least :( .

Steve J

Now I really am confused as since posting just now, Stu's bit in the Intros & Welcome has shown up in the 'Unread Topics' :'( .

Steve remember - never on time, never to cost, never works, never original. Applies to all IT.

I want to know what a couple of the buttons that I can see...When I use the tablet, are supposed to do.

There are others that there's no way I'm playing with.

I'm not pressing them, in case I break something.

Moderation is fairly self explanatory.
User Actions ?

I'll start a new thread....I might even use my other nom de plume.....and you can all join in....Then it won't matter if it all disappears.

Not today, though.

I'll probably stick to just using the PC when I look at the forum.
