I believe it is normal as the system (kinda) going through to sort the database.

 

But, is it really bad on your side/system?

It's pretty bad. My browser will be hanged for few minutes. 

 

I access using 3 different tablets.  All with same problem. 

 

But when I browse through  this page, 

https://www.blowingwind.io/forum/

 

there's no lagging at all.

I may be wrong but I think it is the allocation of our RAM/CPU.

1. Why does the posting dialogue box takes so long to load?

 

2. Really dislike the captcha images, sometimes not here not there one.

 

1. We use Re-captcha services from Google. We CANNOT control the type of re-captcha images Google Re-Captcha utilises.
Google generates the Re-captcha images based on Google's own assessment on how likely the poster is a bot / spammer.

 

2. But we DO "feedback" on some IP / posters that are likely to be problematic spammers / users / bots. We assume Google may thus be more strict on those IP/users.

 

3. My suggestion is for you to sign up as a member.

Members do NOT have to do the re-captcha during posting.

hi, display of any BW page is 1 long list of text and everyones' profile pictures are huge. any solutions? from phone or web is the same. accessing from overseas.. thanks

 

Can CLEAR your Browser cache and try again. Suspect some broken "Resources" were cached in the browser due to some network reason.

have you tried accessing the site on a vpn?

 

On 1/26/2020 at 4:48 PM, Since u r here said:

how could we block someone so that they could not visit our page and see our posting?

not by "Ignore" button, ignore means only we could not see them

 

no such function.

a. Try to change your DNS to Google Public DNS

https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using

 

Remember to clear your browser cache again and then retry.

 

b. I believe your best bet is still a "good" VPN.  eg tunnelbear

There seems currently (and for the past two or three days) to be a problem with the direct message facility. Although I hear notifications I am unable to see any messages. From status postings I seem not to be alone in that.

Did the bw chat changed version?

Previously it works on my Android phone but recently it doesn't load at all.

(Desktop chrome ok)

 

Yeap we updated the chat recently. Can you clear the browser cache as suggested.

If it still cannot work, can post your OS / Browser version. eg Win10 / Firefox 68.

Hi,

 

While viewing the site I somehow managed to accidentally click (AND confirmed!) the "Mark site read" button. I did that while on the home page too so, so all content on ENTIRE SITE has been marked "read". Is there any way to reverse this? 

 

Thanks

How to post a poll? 

Polls are only available to thread starters. It's under the dropdown menu stating "Content" in the create thread page.

How do I enable chat on desktop view? I disabled before. Thanks

The minimised chat should be somewhere on the bottom right corner. If you still can't enable it, clear your browser's cache and cookies, then login back to BW. The chat should be enabled by default.

Hi @Bern or @HendryTan, would like to check on the sharing of instagram link in this forum.
Recently when I did the usual of copying the instagram link and pasted it here, there is an error message: "The link could not be embedded because an error occurred on www.instagram.com."

 

So does that mean we could no longer share any IG link in this forum?

As I also noticed previously shared links in the posts were all blanks now, so thought of asking/checking about it.

Thanks in advance.

 

Happy - is what we should be, always.

 

Notice: I DO NOT use the Chat Function in this Forum - this has always been written in my profile (and I don't read it too).

{it is unfortunate that this new Chat Function does not allow users to turn/switch off in mobile phone}

Hi there

Whenever i view a forum, it always opens to page 1 ( the earliest post). 

I have changed the setting - content view behaviour - " take me to the latest comment" and save. But it does not work.

Can anybody help ? Thx

 

Apparently the Content View Behaviour setting is malfunctioning. There are others ways to go about this.

 

By default, clicking on thread title brings you to the first post. Clicking on the dot / star on the left of the thread title brings you to the first unread post. Clicking on the date below the last poster on the right brings you to the latest post.

 

Hope this helps.

Circled in red are the stars / dots, brings you to the first unread post.

In blue, the date of last post, which is a link to the post itself.

Hi afternoon,

can anyone advise me how to change my username?

i have reset my password but did not changed my username.

My existing username is nature69 now Sae69.

please advise me how to change it back to nature69?

Thanks.

 

Account display name / username may only be changed via request to a mod. There is a rule of only one UID change per account lifetime. Chances are you're not going to get your account back to its old name, but still worth a shot if the mods want to consider your case. Drop HendryTan or Bern a PM.

A few technical questions

 

1. Am I have the access rights to change the topic? If it is possible, how? 

 

I could help you with the first two questions, but I obviously have no answer for your third question eh.

 

I'm assuming you meant to change the subject heading in the topic created?

Go to your first post (on page 1), there are 3 horizontal dots at the top-right corner of that post, click it and choose "Edit" - there, you can now edit the subject heading, and save it.

2.I have started a topic, how to conduct a poll under my topic? Please advice. 

 

Similarly, go your first post (on page 1), click on the 3 horizontal dots at the top-right corner of that post, and choose "Edit".

 

(a) If you are using a mobile phone, under "Content", click on the dropdown menu and you would see "Poll".

Click on "Poll", you can now conduct a poll with that selection.

 

(b) If you are using a laptop/PC, beside the "Content" tab, there is a "Poll" tab next to it.

Click on "Poll", you can now conduct a poll with that selection.

 

Happy - is what we should be, always.
