moving's the Worst (although it can be exciting depending on your own set of circumstances)! in any case, it's ALOT of work....I don't envy you! try to take it ALL easy and be kind to yourself! Good luck (and thoughts)!😘
Ah, I've learned a new thing too. I suppose that only works with a touch screen if you're on a computer not a phone.
that is exactly where my notifications go. I don't mind, because it is almost exclusively from this site , with few additions. I go to main site anyway and then read them from "notification" page
Hi Anhaga
No, i did that on my phone. I always use my phone on the forum. Hope your move is going well...
It should do - and this is new for me if it isn't. Yes, I see it isn't in blue and no, I can't click on it either. And you don't see until you have posted your reply and there is no edit to work out what is wrong. You could still cut and paste on a computer to get it but I imagine you can't do that too easily on a phone? I wouldn't know!
More c*^% no doubt...
Muddle is about right...
Hi EileenH
Thanks Eileen, I have sorted it now. I have a computer but always use my phone. What i did was press firmly on the address you sent me and little icons appeared above the address 'copy' 'share' and 'web search' and others. I pressed 'web search' and it took me straight there....Sorted!...👍🤗 another newby that we have discovered for ourselves......have a good start to your week....😊
I don't have a touch screen on this new computer so can't try it but I can't access the link myself. Which is VERY annoying...
Hi Flutterbie57,
Your email address was showing as blocked so as mentioned in another thread I have removed the report so your emails should now be ok.
If you ever have this issue again you should receive a link on your notification page that you can use to remove the block status. Alternatively either Private Message me or Report a post using the “Other” option to send us a message.
Regards,
Alan
Here is how to do it... Look above and you will see icon for link ( looks like infinity symbol. If you click on it, it will insert "" on the screen and you can paste link in between the [ link here] parenthesis
http://www.mythweb.com/encyc/entries/sisyphus.html
or if you insert it as a plain text then the following will work:
put the mouse over the link and highlight the whole link then right-click on the highlight and you will have choice to open the link in the new window...
Hi all,
As I mentioned in another discussion I am aware of the “Mark as read” problems including the lack of the “Load more” button until you have less than one page of unread notifications. I have passed this and all of your feedback on and have asked for this to be addressed/rectified as a matter of high priority.
I’ll keep the discussions about this updated with any progress.
Regards,
Alan
and because I inserted your web site as a link, it is waiting to be moderated :( so maybe plane text is better...
http://www.mythweb.com/encyc/entries/sisyphus.html then right click on it and choose "open in the new window"
Alen,
Couple of upgrades ago all unread emails were printed in "bold" . That was much easier then current version. Also if I can suggest, either bring "mark as read" box ( smaller would be better) and/or enable user to rightclick on the message and mark it "read".
Suggestion:
Ideally, this screen should resemble classic solution like emails in yahoo or gmail.
Solution would be a check box next to the message (left side) , let us check of MULTIPLE messages and then one box with "mark as read".
Thank you nick - suppose it goes back to my whinge at the start of this that a page of instructions would have been helpful!
I also have a new computer to get used to - the keyboard doesn't have a delete button, just backspace, so I have to reposition the cursor to delete stuff, and no lock capitals key - so I keep getting the search function as that key is there. Otherwise I'm fairly impressed with this Chromebook - little and light and the battery lasts for ages!
PS, I have to block the plain text link before rightclicking...
Hi all,
Regarding adding links:
Copying and pasting links as text into a reply will show them as plain text as per Eileen’s example above so they are not “hot” or clickable. I reported this as part of testing and it will get fixed.
To insert an active link it is not quite as Nick explained as that will go to a blank page.
What you do is is click on the link icon on the editor (2 chain links). If you enter text in the square brackets and then the actual link in the round brackets the typed text will be hot to the link as below.
Enter:
If you want the link to appear in full and hot enter the link between both sets of brackets as per:
http://www.mythweb.com/encyc/entries/sisyphus.html
Note: when you open the icon https:// appears in the round brackets by default so you may need to remove that if copying/pasting a url from a browser address bar.
I have asked for making copied/pasted links into posts work a high priority. In the meantime you will need to copy and paste them into a browser window or highlight and right click as Nick explained. For phones and devices Mary’s reply above about pressing and holding over the link will give the web search option to open them.
Regards,
Alan
Nothing like being simple eh? And that is nothing like being simple...
Hi Nick,
I have asked that unread notifications have a background colour to make them stand out even more than just having the button (smaller) back.
Your suggestion is something I have asked for a few times in the past and I have suggested this once again as it is more useful than the current set up even once the issues are fixed.
Thanks for the feedback.
Alan
Thank you for all your hard work, Eileen. It really is appreciated. What would we do without your wonderful words of wisdom!
Hi nock67069
I see the blue txt with the web address you sent Eileen....(remember i am using a mobile phone)...when i pressed on it the screen went blank and nothing happened. I tried several times and all i am getting is "about:blank" on my screen...🙄😏
