Software Mess

Pompeed

I just got two email notes from Moderators.

First one tells me some note or other -- not identified at all -- was permanently deleted by the Moderators for violation of board policies.  I have no idea what this is all about.  The topic isn't referenced.

Second message tells me I have abused the "Report Post" function and, as a consequence and among other things, options for me to send or recieve private messages are restricted (that's not defined) and I'm going to get kicked off the site if I don't behave myself.

I've never reported anyone's post.  It seems that by clicking on the "RESPOND to Post" button next to everyone's notes, in an attempt to respond to someone else's note by quoting the material in it, THAT is what is reported by the software to the Moderators as a an attempt to REPORT a note to the Moderators to review for conformity with board policies.

"Respond to Post" used to allow one to reply to a specific note. 

Now it functions as "REPORT this Post" instead.

I cannot be first to report this obvious software problem. 

Moderators

Pompeed,

You received the first note about a removed post because we deleted a post of yours from the other day.

We are looking into the Report Post issue and will touch base once we know more.

Moderators

Pompeed,

In order to help us figure out which automatic notice(s) you received, could you copy and paste the content of the email into a Private Message to us please?

Thank you.

Pompeed

             Someone with technical skills will have to tell me how to do that.

             My private mail settings tell me I cannot add a name to the email list without making the addressee a "favorite" and I have no idea how to make the Moderator a "favorite" to put on the mailing list.

             I don't see a way on this topic list to send a private message to the Moderator as a response to the Moderator's request for information.

             Thank you.

Pompeed, we just sent you a Private Message, so if it's easier you can just reply to it.

Nancy, there's a post pinned to the top of this forum, with detailed instructions of how to post pictures here on BCO, written by long-time member nowheregirl (formerly Timtam). It's here:

I use a Mac too - if you're still having problems posting pics or inserting text after reading her info or following the instructions in the Help topics (top right of any page), send a PM and we'll try to help.

Judity & Mods:

          I sent a message with two email texts via reply method suggested by hillck.

          Sorry: could not respond via private message note received from Moderators as suggested.  I'm told I reached my limited and designated private message traffic number.  Imposed because I used the "Post a Reply" button to quote texts of notes to reply to them on the forums.  And that use has been reported to the Moderators as an abuse of the REPORT a message function on my part.

Moderators

Thank you, Pompeed! The email made everything clear, and I've sent you a reply in PM. Your privileges have been restored.
