I was just about to suggest that also, Roger.

I think we have all lost things at some stage, Michael  - it is so easy to do that when new to the site.

Write  whatever you wish to say as a word document, highlight it, right click "copy,"  then come to the discussion window and place the cursor where you want the message to go and right click again and click "paste".

If you intend writing a long message, definitely do it as a word document first, and then copy and paste into the discussion window.

I usually just put short comments straight into the window.

Do what I do Michael P. Write it, copy it, file it, then post it on JG. Then you lose nothing.

Mind you, with all the re-cycling that is going on at present I admire the audacity of some.

Dale,

Thank you for your request for clarification.

I was in the process of entering a comment on "economic refugees" but befor it was completed my comment disappeared. The next day I attempted to find the earlier item but could not locate it so spent sometime trying to do this.  I do not know its fate.

I feel everyone appreciates the massive amount of time required to maintain the site but the suggestions are not to create additional work but to simplify the site. 

The idea is when a topic is closed or no longer available for comment whether intentional or by interference information is available to indicate this. The title of the comment to be shown under an appropriate heading. A comment may be "gone for some reason or another" but those that are following it may wish to know for certainty it has.  Not being computer literate I am not aware of the ramifications. 

Whilst programe changes may not be immediately available an opportunity may arise in the future and is a suggestion for this.

Another point that since I used the Contact link here to send the mails the ideas I had in mind are essential locked in limbo. On other sites I do have the option to send myself a copy of the same message I send you,so I have a copy for my own records. If such an option could be implemented here,if it's possible,that would assist me in following up the ideas at a future date.

Michael and others,

                            Bottom line is that we have to self moderate- unfortunately we aren't kids anymore and in spite of all the gaffe above- the site runs on auto pilot most of the time.

Anything that gets deleted is "goone" for some reason or another. Some of us still have to work for a living and I know I don't have any patience for any silly nonsense.

Comment by Dale Stiller on December 28, 2011 at 8:33pm

Michael,

Point taken, we should at the minium say that we recieved your message.

 

Ralph,

Am I right in that the core issue you are raising is for more certainty.

My intinial thoughts are that not all that you have suggested may be possible. We will have to think more about this one.

Cheers

I also have a question for the Management team" over the past month or two, I have sent three e-mail on assorted subjects that I felt I needed a "Ok that's fine" on from the management group before I went further with the idea I had and I used the "contact us" link here to do so. I have not even received one post that my mails were read. Would it be possible for a mail that "ok we have read your message" to be sent in the future,if and when such mails are sent to the management team?

Comment by Ralph Prestage on December 28, 2011 at 7:49pm

I have read the comments on suggestions. But would add this one.

I have looked for sites which I had seen the day before and noted that they may be available on Forum.

However if an item has been taken off or deleted can this be listed under the Forum column on the right hand side. The section could be headed "Deleted" then 2 divisions one "Voluntary" or "Intentional"  the other say "Hacked" or "External". The subject name can be listed here until restored. It would provide surety that it is not lurking undetected somewhere.  

Comment by Michael Petterson on October 13, 2011 at 11:31am

I have a  sugestion: there's far too much censoring of posts here without any measures taking to preserve the information in the posts. The "Occupy" thread seems to have been deleted,without any measures taken to preserve the suggestion in the thread. I do understand the forums does need to be moderated,but in future could the said posts be archived in some way,so the sugestions are still there and can be cross-posted to a new thread? Just loosing the suggestions when we are looking for ideas doesn't make any sense..

That'll fix those 'lurkers' Dale! My you lot are up with it!!  :-)

Cheers bro' al

Comment by Dale Stiller on October 12, 2011 at 8:31pm

Correct Alan, those looking in on the site without signing in as a member, AKA in the blogging world as a lurker, have a delayed view of the comments on the site.

Comment by alan mikkelsen on October 12, 2011 at 8:08pm

I have just noticed something weird. When I visit JG I am normally already signed in from earlier on, or I sign in afresh. But if in a hurry, looking for something in particular quickly as I was just now, I might have a look without doing so.

I noticed that some posts which I knew were (or had been) there weren't showing up on the Main Page. I thought "What the ?", refreshed the page, same result. And then I signed in, and there were all the posts, up to date.

is this meant to happen? In other words, casual visitors / potential members can only access a 'delayed view' of what's going on? Or was it an aberration, and if so, i wonder how or why?

f you go to your home page (my page), click on "settings" (on the top right hand side of the page) and check all of your settings there - in particular e-mails and privacy settings.

When it is as you wish, click "Save" at the bottom.

I too, am not management and hope I am not giving wrong advice.  Just trying to help and see how that goes, Jillian.

Comment by Denise Scanlan on August 28, 2011 at 4:27pm

I am not management Jillian, but I can tell you. At the bottom of each discussion page, is a 'stop following' so click on this and you won't get all the alerts.

Comment by Jillian Gwen Spring on August 28, 2011 at 4:08pm

The management team, Where do I find the spot to stop all the email replies, as I just cannot read them all & I cannot find things very easily. I have sent comments but dont know where they went. I did click something a few days ago to stop all replies but cannot find it now. Jillian Spring.  Now, there is no SEND, so do not what to click to send>

Thanks, Bev and Denise - you are absolutely correct!

Here are just a few discussions that people can go to and post their comments that do not relate to this forum but are to do with politics.

There are heaps of places already established for discussions about politics.

For all the new members, go to Forums (at top of this page) as Denise suggested and check out the lists.
