Cube3 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Hi @Bern or moderator, Sometimes I plan to PM but end up typing a message on the public msge feed without realising, which I really don't wish to use. Is there a way to: 1) delete the public msge post? 2) de-activate the public msge feed feature for my account so I don't accidentally post? - jo Edited January 24, 2017 by Cube3 Quote

You can't, however, you can drop us a report on the specific message you wish to be removed via the "Report" button. 2. From your profile page, click on "Edit Profile".

Guest Guess - BboyzWu Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Hi BW tech team, I'm trying to sign in to BW using facebook (as I registered my account using FB) but I have issue since yesterday. After login using facebook, it goes back to the sign in page showing a message "Something went wrong. Please try again." I am not sure if there's another way to login since I'm using facebook to register my account. Quote

Should be a bug from one of the minor patches we get every now and then. Thanks for the heads up. @Bern @HendryTan Do you remember the e-mail tagged to your account? If you do, do a password reset via the login page. You'll be able to login with your userid and password. Quote
HendryTan Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 Can you try the Facebook login again. The software maker IPB just released a patch and we applied it. Quote

sphere Posted July 2, 2017 Posted July 2, 2017 @HendryTan, @Bern or @Glyph, is there any problem with the multiple log-in on devices lately? For the past few days, when I log-on to laptop for a long time, my mobile will be log-out, and vice versa. This wasn't the case previously, so thought asking on the matter. ('Remember me' was checked for every log-in) Have a good day and thanks. Quote 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}
HendryTan Posted July 2, 2017 Posted July 2, 2017 1. Bern and myself pretty busy and there wasn't any changes done on this BW Forum / Server in June 2. I suggest you clear browser cache and see whether it helps. Cheers ! Quote
Guest Quote Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 On December 21, 2016 at 0:50 AM, Guest @ Club said: Whenever somebody quotes a post, the entire post shows up, and makes it take longer to scroll down the page. This is especially annoying if the original post is very long and if many people keep quoting that same post. Readers are then seeing the same thing again, and again, and again. Is there a way to code Blowing Wind's quote function to cut off quoted posts after a few lines and then give users an option to expand if they want to read the entire quoted post? I agree that the quoting of entire posts is very annoying. Especially when it is done multiple times on the same page. Maybe the BW technicians can change the quote function so that every time a post is quoted, it goes into a small link-box, like in the second post on this page? I don't know how that poster quoted things in this way, but if that style becomes the standard throughout BW, it would make scrolling down threads so much more enjoyable. Please consider this change, moderators, because reading some pages is not a pleasant experience right now. Quote
Gray32 Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Hi guys! I can't seem to access messages in OTHER default folders in the Inbox such as 'New' and 'Draft'. I moved some PMs to 'New' and the folder did display that I have 'x' number of messages there. When I switch over to that folder, it still displays all the messages in the Inbox folder. Is it a glitch? Quote Holy mama.

rado980d Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Anyone has issue with uploading pic? I keep having the prompting. "You are only allowed to upload 10.24kb." Can the moderator please advise if there is a quota for upload. 10.24kb seems to be so small image Thank you. Quote
HendryTan Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 1. The message should have read as, you only hae 10.24 kb left from a maximum of 5MB allowed. 2. Every member has 5MB of storage. Quote

Every member has 5MB of storage. Dear Hendry, Despite what you mentioned, I still can't upload any images. (therefore I cannot even screen grab to show you the message) Does that mean that I have reached my quota and cannot post images anymore? Does deleting my older post help? I don't think I have Max out the 5MB of storage space. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you. Quote
HendryTan Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 rado980d: 1. I can confirm you are close to 5MB of image used. You can delete older image to free up disk space. 2. We have LIMITED disk space from our hosting site unless we get higher tier (ie $$$) hosting arrangement. Hence the limited disk image per member. You can try to upload images to another external image hosting site and then post the link here. Cheers ! Quote

hakimlame94 Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) It seems to have a small bug in Forum. It affects most web browsers I'm using. - Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 - Microsoft Edge - Google Chrome (Commonly Used) OS: Windows 10 Scrolling issue. As I scroll down to the bottom page, it reaches the end of the page. Once I scroll it up and back down slowly, the endless page begins. The scroll will continue to go up further even the page is still. Seems to not have any issue with mobile browsers. Edited December 26, 2017 by hakimlame94 Add-on Quote

Don't quite catch what you mean by sending picture in blowing wind. Do you mean uploading a display picture, or do you mean uploading a picture as an attachment? In any case, the max size limit is 200kb for display photos, 290kb for profile cover photo, and your total size limit for attachments is 4.88mb. Cropped or not, it's the resolution of the picture that matters. If it's in .png, saving it in .jpeg will reduce file size. So does lowering resolution to 500x500 or smaller if it's of a larger value. If you can't upload attachments, you've probably hit the maximum size cap allowed. Drop by here to clear any unwanted files. Quote

I want to send a attachment on replying someone... i don’t understand what you mention about the resolution of the picture... I just simply attached the picture in my hp album and I can’t send it...is that due to the setting in my hp? I edited the picture and crop it as some of the member advice which I approached ... but I still can’t send as pop out that my attachment is too big... Quote
Guest Glyph Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Okay, I'll simplify things for you. When you want to send photos as an attachment in Blowingwind... 1. Your photo must be hosted on the internet. 2. Each Blowingwind Forum member is allocated 4.88mb worth of space to store any files you'd like. You may access those files here. Just think of Blowingwind as a file hosting site when you use this function. 3. If you are unsure how to resize or downsize your picture, you might want to use a 3rd-party image hosting site that provides a larger file size cap and link to the image. For e.g., this is hosted on Blowingwind. https://blowingwind.b-cdn.net/forum/uploads/monthly_2018_08/2126146714_BWProfileBanner_zpsn1vjckod.png.cf129bf64321502a3da94246543f2ef5.png And this is on photobucket. http://rs470.pbsrc.com/albums/rr69/amphyxvena/BW Profile Banner_zpsn1vjckod.png?w=480&h=480&fit=clip As for image resolution... well, that's actually not a forum technical issue so I'm not going into details on that. Perhaps a google search on how to resize images might help. Quote
Chris Low Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 just thought i inform you that if you use quad 9 dns (9.9.9.9) blowingwind forums becomes unusable because the CDN that bw uses are blocked by quad 9 . https://www.quad9.net/ I had to revert to google dns. Quote
