off-topic : 2 chgpa forum issues

Post by markc »

[Apologies, I'm posting a topic about the operation of the forums
here, because I doubt it would be seen by enough people
if it went to General Discussion or Forum Helpdesk....]

Two forum issues of note that you should know about:
<ul><li>Users of the CHGPA forum website have probably seen
replies on a given topic with a whole bunch of gibberish.
It always starts with:
The original subSilver Theme for phpBB version
I've tweaked something which <b>might</b> fix this problem.

If you see the problem recurring over the next couple
weeks, I'd appreciate a quick PM to let me know . Thanks!

The downside of the tweak is that all email subscribers to the
forum should be receiving text-only from now on. No
look-and-feel to resemble the forum website (if your
email client was capable of displaying it). So I'd also like to
know if this is considered a big loss by anyone.

<li>If you have email subscriptions to the CHGPA forums
(rather than using just the forum website) and you
have an AOL address, then some/all messages are not
getting through to you. This is because email originating
from our forums is being treated as spam (for lots of
possible reasons). I'm working on this, but it's a bit of
an uphill battle, and I can't say when it will be resolved.

A short-term fix might be to create a gmail email account, and
then ask me to switch your CHGPA forum account to use your
new gmail address.

Alternately, wait it out and hope for the best.

NOTE: Any AOL user could always choose to try the CHGPA
forum website. Who knows, maybe you'll become a convert!
