INTRODUCTION
EDP24 Puppywatch is getting a refresh! We're starting by moving new noticeboard and puppy questions over to a message board format, which will improve the speed they appear on the site. Please note that all posts are being moderated before they appear to keep it family friendly. Messages should appear within 24 hours, although usually on the same day as posting. I wish to make a complaint about a message Click the Report Post link that appears in the bottom-right corner of every post or e-mail webdesk@edp24.co.uk for the duty moderator. Can I edit my messages? We do not allow users to edit their posts once they have been moderated. Contact the duty moderator (or post another message with a message marked for the attention of a moderator) if you've sent something you shouldn't have done and we will look into it. Note: Once messages have been replied to, we are less likely to make changes. I can't login. Check that your browser is accepting cookies. FEATURES User settingsHead to the 'Edit your details' link along the top of the page and click your name. Direct link is /cs/user/EditProfile.aspx
Here you can also set:
Whether you receive emails and notifications of replies
Timezone
Public contact information (email and instant messenger addresses)
Message ordering preferences
Change you password and (login) email address.
Other options that you may find useful:
Enable Post Mouse-Over Pop-Up: set this to Yes if you wish to have a small amount of preview text when you hover over subjects on the threads page.
Enable Emoticons: these off (No) will speed up loading of the post/reply pages.
Text size You can change the size of some links and infomation in your user profile page.
/cs/user/EditProfile.aspx
Scroll down to to Forum Settings and change the Font Size.
What's the difference between Email and Private Messaging (PM)? Email will reveal your email address to the user and send them an email.
Private Messaging stores a message on our site that the user can see when they check their private messages.
Can I subscribe to threads - and then how do I unsubscribe? Yes - by default you should get a notification when a new message has been approved in any thread you post in (this will apply for new posts, not ones that we have transferred from our previous forum). If you do not wish to get this in the first place, untick the Email me replies to this post box on the post/reply form. To unsubscribe to a particular thread, go to the thread and toggle the Notify button at the page. You can also subscribe to all new threads and/or posts in a particular forum. On the threads page for each forum, head to the Options box and the bottom - select the Email option that suits what you require. Further information about e-mail sent from these forums
The Options section at the bottom of the forum is a catch-all for notifications of new threads and all posts. It doesn't matter if you click the Apply or the Remember buttons, it does save the option you previously selected. However, it will not affect notifications of threads you have deliberately signed up to (e.g. either by clicking the Notify button at the top of a particular thread, or the Email me replies to this post checkbox when posting messages - as mentioned above). These can only be changed by going back to the thread (the link is in the email that gets sent) and toggling the Notify button. The option in the profile to Receive Emails doesn't work at all (this would include messages sent using the Private Message and Email buttons - meaning you are unable to block these types of messages - if you get any abusive ones, send a copy to webdesk@edp24.co.uk). This is a known bug with Community Server version 1 - and looks like something we have to live with unless we upgrade to version 2.
What's the Settings link along the top?
It could do with a better name - is for users that have other privileges (e.g. blogs). It doesn't apply to the vast majority of users.
If you are looking for your personal settings - follow the Edit your details <NAME> link which takes you to cs/user/EditProfile.aspx How can I see who is online? You can see this on the page in each forum listing threads. Head to the bottom and click the Options button.
Your name will only appear if you are signed in.
What are 'My Forums' All forums you have posted/replied to messages in, or are currently subscribed to.
Do these forums have an RSS feed? They did but we disabled this pending changes. This may return in the future.
My question has not been answered here... E-mail webdesk@edp24.co.uk and we will do our best to help.
