    Maybe this is just part of the modifications you're trying, but I wonder why "View Forum Posts" seems to work OK for some (MS board) members but not others.

    I tried View Forum Posts for several people, but 2 that I tried bring up nothing. These are people who have many forum posts and are still members.

    Cherie and Pegakafarmgirl are the ones. I've tried about 8 others, and they're OK.

    Thanks for your attention and for all the work you do here.

      This is being posted hours after my previous post. Cherie's posts are visible now in "View Forum Posts" but Peg's aren't. Checking a few more names, I found several more where no prior posts are visible: jendie, SuzE-Q, and Gabriella7.

      Maybe there's no cause for concern here but it would be too bad not to have access to these posts.

      EDITED TO ADD: I checked a few names on the Epilepsy forum and found that for sandinmyears and lor, no previous posts are found when clicking on View Forum Posts or Find Latest Posts.

        ((((((agate)))))) ~

        When I click on View Forum Posts for you, only 4 posts are shown. Same thing when I click on my own View Forum Posts. Something is hinky!

        It probably correlates to Mike's tinkering. Hopefully, Mike will tell us, after he finishes his homework!

          We've been having issues with the "view forum posts" and "view latest posts (or threads)" for awhile now. Not sure why yet :(

          Rose ... yes the links along the top will remain, but the tabs (new posts, archive, etc etc) will be temporarily unavailable. The archive site is unaffected so you can visit it using the link in the appropriate forums "useful websites" sticky. All of the skins will be removed and a new default one created. None of the information in the blogs should be affected. Neither should posts.

          There is a small chance that I might have to go back to a backup from before the spam started going out. That would mean any posts, pms, blogs, etc etc made after that date would be lost. Luckily it would only be a week or two, but that is a last resort and only has a small chance of happening.
          Question: Why can't I post links or pictures?
          Question: Why can't I have a signature, avatar, or profile picture?
          Question: What's wrong with my account?

          Answer: You are in the "registered users" user group. This group is very limited in what it can do. This will annoy spammers to no end Just keep posting once you have been registered for 30 days and have made 11 posts your account will be "unlocked".

          It's really easy to put someone on ignore and it's strongly recommended that you do so with people who's posts you don't like.

          Step 1 - log in
          Step 2 - click on the "settings" link
          Step 3 - click on the "edit ignore list" link on the left side of the screen
          Step 4 - type (or paste if you copied and pasted it) the username of the person you want to ignore
          Step 5 - click the "ok" button on the right of the screen

          Easy peasy and will lower your blood pressure. One important note though, this won't hide quoted posts. It's an oversight on the developers part and it's not an easy thing to "fix." So if someone quotes someone you have ignored, you'll see the quote.

          Alternatively when you click on a person's name and view their profile page, underneath their avatar, there is a option that says, "Ignore this person". Click that link and then click the yes button.

            Thanks for pointing this out, Rose!

            It seems strange but I'm more than willing to leave it in the capable hands of the administrators who I'm sure have a much better grasp of the situation than I could ever have.

            They did warn us.

            --And the Thanks button is in place. That's really about all we need.

              Thanks Mike.

              Do you ever find us amusing?

              You are.

                Yes sometimes I get a chuckle out of your folk's post

                EDIT: Ok tonight I'm going to remove every thing but the bare bones forum stuff. So for a little while at least BT is going to look quite plain

                  I turned off new registrations for a little while to prevent new spammers from joining. I deeply apologize to any real persons that need to register. If you need to register an account send an email to btsysop@gmail.com with:

                  Name you want to use (send 3 in case one or two are in use)
                  An email address I can reply to

                      So far the "CMS" portion is clean (the "home" page). Tomorrow I'm going to enable the blogs and give it a couple of days. If the blogs are clean the next in line is the thanks button, followed by spam-o-matic, and others. Assuming the ones that get turned on are clean.

                        I think having the "Thanks Button" back will be great, I believe that has been missed. Personally I found myself very much wanting to use it this last week, and am impatiently waiting its return. 😁

                        Mike, thanks for your time in troubleshooting and the resolution of this. 😃

                          Reminds me of the movie, Poltergeist ~ "This house is clean." You're performing a spammer-cism!!

                          It makes me happy to see BT slowly returning to its former self. I've missed the skins. And the Thanks button!

                          Thank you, Mike, for all of your hard work to keep us clean!

                            Next up is spamo and the re-enabling of registration. Hopefully Tues evening.
