Problem with posting links on the forum

Is this the right place for what used to be "about this forum"? Hopefully!

I have just posted in  the Events section, including a link to our ticket site and a link to our website, and although both the links are correct when editing, neither of them are coming up as the full links on the published post, so they are either going to the wrong place or not working at all.

Is this something I am doing wrong, or is it a forum glitch?

Hi Sue,

Its best to use the Contact Us link which you can find at the bottom of the website to ask me questions - that way it goes to my inbox. 

To answer your question, there is a button at the top of the text editor for making a link. Press that and you'll see a popup. Just type the link URL in both of the fields in the popup (e.g. www.wegottickets.com/thegooseisout) and it will work

Ok, thanks!

The 'contact us" link is a bit lost beneath a load of other stuff, but also thanks for pointing it out!

The picture you've shown isn't what I see when I post, btw - I almost always use the app on my mobile.

If you are using a laptop, click the name at the top, then 'Account Settings'

If using a mobile, click 'More' at the bottom menu -> Account -> Account Settings

 

Or use the shortcut here: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/settings/

Thanks, I did try that, I'm specifically looking for drafts, a search came up with a post saying they were kept in 'control panel'.

I can't find anything in Account Settings for either.

Meds, thanks for your reply too...

I believe 'Save As Draft' was a feature of the old forum software which allowed you to save a post message you had started typing out. The forum software was changed in April 2023, so you may be looking at a post prior to then.

The new forum software doesn't have this because 'drafts' are automatically saved as you type. If you enter a post without submitting, then close your browser then come back, it will automatically restore your post message.

 Thanks for your reply.

Ironically it was losing a post because it hadn't been automatically saved as a draft that triggered my initial query.

I've done a search and found the post again that I was referring to, here it is...

It's dated 6th Sept '22 so indeed it  was before when the software was updated in April '23.

Thanks for clarifying...

      On line document shared by mistake

      By Moovart · Posted

      I had a similar experience a few years ago when a relative said she had seen a letter that I had sent to a solicitor come up on her iPad.  I don't have any apple devices so it can't have been that our devices were synched.  I tried to find the document on her iPad shortly after and couldn't find it again.  It was very odd and we never got to the bottom of it so if anyone can explain it, I'd be really interested too.

      Charter School ED - SEN / ADHD experience

      By bettyorange · Posted

      Old thread i know but just wanted to say that we have taken our youngest son out of Charter East now as he was so unhappy, nose diving academically, finding it hard to make positive connections and as a family we just could not watch his self esteem plummet any further. We decide to opt for homeschooling via Minerva MVA online academy. It's pretty positive so far and early days but we are hugely relieved to be out of what had for us become a toxic system.
