Hi Julian, when you go to your followed content page, do you see the topics you're expecting to get notifications on. You can find the "Manage Followed Content" in the top right account drop down menu or here's a direct link... https://www.caterhamlotus7.club/followed/ John

FWIW, I don't think deleting posts is the way to go. It causes all sorts of problems with people thinking they saw something but then can't find it again later. And for things that are bought and sold, I think it makes sense to be able to see the thread of the conversation in case you're looking to buy/sell something similar. And also, if you could delete the starting thread of the topic, then it doesn't seem right that any discussion should be deleted as the topic head is removed. As for editing posts. Currently the site is set so you can edit content you submit for up to 7 days after submitting it. When assessing this we felt that indefinite right to edit was too long but that 7 days felt about right. I can't see a way of setting this per-forum (though there might be) as I could see that editing wanted/for-sale headings would be useful after 7 days. It's common on most social platforms that if you're offered the option of editing your content, then you're only allowed to do so for a short period of time - often just a few minutes. Or else you get into all sorts of contortions with people changing history. An interesting one to be debated here I guess (what am I saying!) John

We did have a discussion with Invision about post numbers during the migration development and their response was that the more modern way of doing this sort of thing is with the quoting system that Jonathan has mentioned. Invision said it would not be possible to implement the #number system for us. Of course this is fine going forwards but it is clearly not ideal when looking through historical posts. Unfortunately, sometimes you have to take the rough with the smooth, and on the whole we felt all the other features out weighed the issues around some of the missing ones. John

Andrew, ok, thanks for the feedback. This platform does have the ability to store address for users. But we felt that its options for full address would be too much detail and so needs more investigation. When we start to consider how to replace LoveAdmin then we will have to consider location in a bit more detail. Thanks again - I’ve added your use-case to the list. John

You can also just type the short code, if you know them, by surrounding it in asterisks. The editor will autocomplete the emoticon as you type the last asterisk. So... beer is *beer* = rolling on the floor laughing is *rofl* = blablah is *blabla* = etc

Only ARs can create blog entries in the Areas and Groups section at the moment. And yes, there's a lot of options for communications in that feature, but we're taking it slowly at the moment and only allowing ARs to create blog posts. This is all good feedback. Followers are notified by email (by default). If you click on the bell icon (notifications) on the top menu bar then there's a notifications settings option in there. You can configure how you get all your notifications. John

Ok. Thanks.

Out of interest, what device are you using. I'll see if I can replicate on something similar. As you can imagine, we're compiling a to-do list, so this will go on the list. John

John, I can see that read content does have a lesser weighting to it. Unread content is very bold, read content less so. So the Invision logic is working. Maybe we could tone down the font weighting for read content - but that's a longer term theming issue. John

Thanks for the comment John. I'll take a look and see if its something we can control. John
