Hi darkshine I have applied the same fix as before however I have a suspicion that the problem will come back even though it is working at the moment. Please let me know how you get on. Kind regards Lufty

Hi darkshine How is it looking for you now ? Kind regards Lufty

Hi darkshine Thanks for flagging this and I have now fixed the problem. Kind regards Lufty

A-S Warrior You can only edit posts for four hours after which time you are no longer able to edit your post. This is to preserve the integrity of the thread discussions. Kind regards Lufty

Dear All I have removed the duplicate tab entries and also as per the other thread removed the birthdays today and reverted to recent topics plus added member status updates. Kind regards Lufty

Hi Mannify I have changed this back to show recent topics and also added member status updates to trial. Any feedback gratefully received. Kind regards Lufty

Morning Everyone I will take a look at this and see if I can get this resolved. Kind regards Lufty

Dear A-S Warrior I am not sure how you can say that moderators and admin are not signing into the forum as I for one sign on a regular basis and indeed a lot of what I do is behind the scenes and would not be visible to yourself. I have made a forum change to stop guests viewing members profiles which is actually a sensible precaution and encourages visitors to join the forum as members. Kind regards Lufty

Dear darkshine Sorry for the shock I was under the impression the upgrade that I have just performed was a minor one to keep the forum software up to date and secure but having completed the upgrade it is obvious that this has a major look and feel change as well. Kind regards Lufty

Hi aspiemum2twinsplus1 Yes it has changed correctly and sorry to hear about the error message. I will investigate further if I get any further reported issues with the email change functionality. Best regards Lufty

Hi Mumble In your case it is the Yahoo email server which is being blacklisted. You need to contact Yahoo and good luck getting a response from them !!! Regards Lufty

Hi Everyone Normally when you send an email it is first sent to your ISPs (Internet Service Provider) server such at BT Openworld or Wanadoo etc. This mail server receives your email and then sends it to the recepient. It is therefore the ISP mail server IP Address (note not DNS) which has been blacklisted and not your computers IP address. Sending it from your computer using a different wireless connection or indeed using your account on a different PC will not make any difference. You need to contact your ISP who hosts your email as they are responsible for getting their server taken off the blacklist and by the way often they will not do this. I hope this helps Regards Lufty

HI Everyone Sorry for the late reply however the main reason is for disk space requirements. The current forum database is over 300 megabytes which is for the system tables and the forum posts. Pictures, Images and videos will drastically increase the disk space requirements exponentially and we are simply not geared up for hosting this type of content. This has always been a support forum for people touched by Aspergers and ASD and there are many other better alternatives for viewing videos and pictures such as YouTube, Facebook, Flicker etc. Best regards Lufty

Hi Everyone Baddad is absolutely correct with the correct answer and the rationale for introducing the feature. It has significantly reduced the number of hacking/spamming attempts we have received. I am sorry that it has caused a potential member difficulties. Kind regards Lufty

Hi Everyone The feature was not working correctly but I fixed it about a month or two ago so it should work fine now. Regards Lufty

Dear All I made a setting change so that all members can now see Web Spiders. Basically these are the engines which create the indexes on all websites so that your search engine can find key words. Regards Lufty

Dear All I have changed the default to English (UK) Please let me know if anyone needs other languages adding. Regards Lufty

Dear All If you have Skype installed you can turn the telephone number recognition off by selecting within Intenet Explorer :- Tools Skype Add-on for Internet Explorer Untick the Turn number highlighting on Regards Lufty

Hi Littlenemo Sorry I did not want to disclose your gender on the forum hence using 'their' I hope I did not offend you. Take care and thanks again Lufty

Dear All Littlenemo has kindly worked their magic with a new logo which I think looks really good. Any feedback gratefully received. Many thanks Littlenemo. Lufty

Hi Karen A If you try again now you should see that the search now works across the whole forum and not just recent posts. Regards Lufty

Dear All I have created a Twitter account called asdforumorguk which you can follow to receive updates on. The main reason for creating the account is so that you can be notified of any forum outages etc. Kind regards Lufty

Hi Call me Jaded Oh yes it is - Well now it is Regards Lufty

Dear All Whilst we work through the teething problems with the new software it is really important to receive any feedback whether negative or positive. At the moment the only technical problem that has been reported is from a couple of members who are receiving a blank page after making a post or PM post. Can you please report back on whether you experience this issue or not so I can get a feel for how widespread the problem is and whether it is happening randomly, for specific browsers or specific members. I think we will like the new look and feel once we get over the shock and find our way around however there was really no choice as we needed the latest version to keep us protected from security and hacking attempts. Kind regards Lufty
