I’ve sent Chris a private message at hrw forum. 
should be able to sort that for him tomorrow - I couldn’t find him on FB for some reason, which was how we used to chat

Have chatted with Chris, and been logged in as him, so he should be fine now. But I have identified a possible issue/conflict between personal user settings and the forum software now.

It affected me when I tried to log back in as myself, and I think it is the same as affected a member of our club - which I couldn’t fix at the time

In relation to the problem mentioned by Charles X on the Hawkes Bay page recently, I have found that navigating to the most recent posts (usually the last pages of a topic) can vary depending on what sort of device you are using to access Auslot Forum.

On my Windows PC the Hawkes Bay club page (for instance) usually opens up at Page '490-something'  which means you are fairly close to the most recent posts. On my ancient iPad Mini it opens up to Page 1.

Prior to the establishment of the 'new' Auslot Forum I could simply tap on the page navigation box and type in the page number I wished to access e.g. 491 or whatever. That function no longer works on MY iPad Mini. I don't have the patience to advance the page-counter 6 pages at a time up 490-something so I wait until I have my PC turned on to view the Hawkes Bay club page.

Curiously the page navigation box did not work for other topics on the 'old' Forum e.g. the Worldwide Slot Car Chat, but manually navigating to  page 9 or 10 isn't such a big deal.

Perhaps Charles X is having similar troubles??

Hi Dennis, thanks for your input. I haven’t heard from Charles yet, - Charles, if that is your problem too, try what I am doing below, and let us know. Hadn’t really thought too much about it until now.

Dennis, I’m on an I-pad air, what kind of device are you using? 
You may be right, typing a page number into the “go to page” box doesn’t work, nor does hitting the double right arrow box, BUT I use a custom activity stream “last 2 days” (of posts) which I created, and hitting the time since last post - in this morning’s case, 9h for 9 hours since the last post in HBMRC , will take me straight to the current last post in our club thread. 
but just clicking the regular “activity “ menu option, will show recent posts and the amount of time elapsed since that post - eg “ 23 minutes ago” or “9 hours ago”, so members can click on that to get to the latest post in that thread.

Thanks Mark much appreciated i'm sure Chris will be .

Chris is still having problems, it is something that Jacob may have to look into.

The problem affecting Chris is also affecting a member of our club, and a variant of it has now hit me.

Jacob is the tech guy, and Vince will discuss it with him this weekend, we just have to hold tight for a bit.


Still haven’t had any feedback from Charles, I’ll hide his comment from the club forum now, as out of place there

Hi SlotsNZ/Mark.

No change here but have just received MrSlotcar DN4 Shadow this morning so that should take my mind off things.

Slight drizzle here but more to come. Trust all OK in HB. Much warmer here than Adelaide.

Hi Admin.

I still cannot go to last post where multiple posts (likes of Hawkes Bay) and now I find site does not appear to be updating with new posts.

As I have said before new site transition worked fine and AUSLOT appeared fine but over last week the above has occurred.

Is there something I should do to fix. I use a basic Windows machine with a common browser and have not had this problem previously that I recall.

Regards Charels Le Breton (charlesx)

Charles, it is very hard to understand your problem, as I don’t know exactly what you are seeing, and exact what you are doing with what you see on screen.

But here is what I do. I have a custom activity stream set up, which shows me all posts for the last two days.
The pic below is a cropped example of what I see (the rest of what I see right now is different to you, as I have administrator stuff on screen)

I then click on the info at right where it says 7hr or 10hr since last post, and that takes me directly to the last post in that thread

OR

by clicking on the general activity menu option, then from there the “unread content”

I can click on the time stamp at bottom of each post showing.
eg “Saturday at 4:38pm”

To SlotsNZ - Appreciate help Mark but I have only ever used default system provided. Previously always came up with most recent post. Before problem with likes of HB site started coming up with first post of 483 but I could go to most recent. Now I cannot do this. Never had this problem until less than 2 weeks ago. I did notice that I am now marked as NEWBIE which of course I am not. Is this the problem? Going to my profile I have had nearly 2000 posts. Sorry but I cannot be clearer than this.

Hi Charles

I looked at your profile in Admin and your preferences were to go to first comment. I have changed that to go to last comment. Not sure why it would have been that way though. Let me know if this helps?

Vinno.

Ta for that. Still cannot go back and see old posts but can probably change date like Mark suggested. Will check my status to see if I am still a NEWBIE.

Appreciate help

.Regards Charles Le Breton (charlesx)

PS. Still shows me as NEWBIE.

OK I will just have to be patient but surprised this has not happened to others. Now noted as Rookie. Regards Charles Le Breton

It is the same for everyone Charles. I started out as “Rookie” after the upgrade. After a certain number of posts, we all move up through the levels, one by one again

I am still involved in producing items in resin and vacform. I have always dealt directly with any individuals and am very happy to continue to do so.

Find me on facebook via MVD Resins or simply message me here.

If youhave my email address then that works too.

I would publish pictures of some of my latest work but my pictures are on my phone and my phone doesn't want to log in to Auslot.

John Warren

Slotcars are my preferred reality
