New Since....

HI LEXIE!!!! (Well, you said to yell....) I hope you're feeling better.

AS didn't answer my question, either. I asked them if they could put the link back so that I could have a custom avatar. Their answer had nothing to do with the question I asked.

So has Tyler gone out riding Tilly yet? How's life?

Support said the searches were indeed down. Thanks for the in-depth response guys. They did not even mention the avatar problem.
Personally, I still think we are being subjected to a little revenge. Only one response from Sara on this subject, which I saw anyway. If AS really wanted these problems fixed they would have been fixed by now. It has not been a few days, but a few weeks! Since no mention has been made of the avatar problem, maybe avatars are going to join private messaging.
Hope you are back to your normal problem causing self soon Lexie.

Avatars haven't been downloadable on BM (same company as AS) either, so I would assume this was a business decision, and not because of “revenge”. The search problem is an Infopop problem, something outside of AS’ control.

BM has also disabled private messaging (Infopop's default is set to disabled). It’s probably best. AS maybe under the belief that this forum is here to help snipers, and that’s why they pay for it.

It was like the decision to cut down pictures – just a business decision, and not because of whiners.

Who knows – maybe Sara was being included in too many private topics.

Don't forget:

Have I missed the thread that said when the forum searches will be up and usable again?

Really?!? Revenge for what?

Included as the subject, Rick, or as a poster?? Probably not anything to do with anything! Just a business decision.

As the poster, obviously, or it should be. Why the uncertainty? Even Infopop’s documentation states that the moderator can’t view posts. I thought that was put to bed a long time ago. Don’t tell me this is still an item on the list of Conspiracy Theories?

I also have an explanation for why private posts’ view counts would “appear” to have changed, but since citing Infopop’s manual hasn’t changed the opinion about the moderator’s authority to view private posts, it would appear a waste of time discussing a theory about something only one person seems to have experienced and seems to have imprinted on the wrong idea.

No, Rick, I meant did you mean she was posting too much in the private forum or did you mean she was talked about too much in the private forum? I don't think either is the case...just wondering what you meant.

Neither. Someone(s) could have been posting too much to her.

It's still a little early, in that election results aren't complete, but it doesn't appear to be winning much support. I count one definite negative vote, and two that seem to be questioning the theory, or at a minimum, confused by it.

Yes, I'm out for revenge. Nevermind the fact we dont even program or operate our message boards. Infopop does. It'll be fixed when they fix it, complain to them if you'd like:

If you want a customer avatar enter the URL for it. We've never made uploading them to our site an option and don't plan on it. As far as I know entering the URL works for anyone that wants. I certainly haven't changed a thing in the message board permissions to disallow them once I added it so that everyone could have one.

Holy cow, Sara! Didn't know you had that much time on your hands....running for cover!! LMAO!( what fun to take things out of context! )

I dont own or operate the *services* that we provide at work either, but I sure wouldnt get any repeat customers talking to them like that.

Anyways - I have filed a support card (not complained) and look forward to hearing from Infopop's support

Hi Christine Thanks for yelling!!

The main problem with an ear infection is I dont know whether I am yelling at others or not. At work yesterday, I was apparently talking to myself *very loudly* - Not Good!!

Tilly and Tyler are getting along like a house on fire. Til is such a goofy pup, I remember when Clyde was little, he was a very arrogant puppy, Tilly is *silly* (much like Taz was). She will walk along and wag her tail with her body curled and whack herself in the face and look surprised...like..."who did that?". She is all legs are very clumsy - much like Tyler.

WOW - they were quick.
I sent the query through at 3.24pm and received this email at 3.30pm.

Hello Lexie:

The problem has been fixed. It will be part of an update that will be released later this week or early next week.

There is a work-around, though. If Sara wants it, she will need to put in a support ticket, and we will give her instructions on how to implement it.

Dang! Somebody did something worthy of revenge and I missed it!

I'll try the avatar again when I get a few minutes. I haven't been able to access the university's web site since the middle of last week and have a lot of catching up to do.

Puppies are sooo much fun. Every dog should own a kid.

Something has changed, or I'm very, very, very missing something. I can't see anyway to add a URL. It use to accept one.
