Both today and yesterday I have been unable to access the forum... so that's mid afternoon Australian time ... probably middle of the night for somewhere in the US there is usually a page with  a message about MyBB.
Is there a regular something happening or is it just me? I dont have a problem with any other sites at that time.

I used to be able to copy and paste my replies from my notes directly into the reply box and there was no font or color change. My posts looked like everyone else's posts. Now they don't. They stick out and it's embarrassing. I feel awkward about posting if mine are going to look so different. Maybe they just look different to me? I hope. Right now I'm typing directly in the box. Here's an example of me pasting:

This is so horrible for me because I have to use my notes to check for mistakes and edit my replies. If I try to use delete inside a post I get bumped.


Please help.

... but when it says that there have been "4564 views", is that counting separate people? Or does it count me each time I look at that thread?

This really doesn't matter. At all. I'm just curious. It's things like this that keep me up at night...

Hi! For some reason, I can no longer access the forum on my kindle. When I enter my user name and password it says I have been successfully been logged in and then it takes me right back to the previous page and I am still a guest. I logged in and out on my pc and my daughters kindle without any trouble. What in the world am I doing wrong? Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Since the last forum update I haven't been able to post to the Forums from the ForumRunner app. It says there is a parsing error that is perhaps related to an outdated plugin.

I was going to not bother with asking you to fix it and just switch to Tapatalk. But honestly, after a week of Tapatalk, I'm ready for my Forum Runner back. It's so much easier to navigate and you don't see any of the car stuff!!

I'm not sure why, but quite often when I'm posting now, there is a link to pinterest that just shows up without me adding it - I have not idea what it's for or why it shows up.

How do I keep this from happening or do I just need to edit the post to delete it if I notice it showing up?

The dark ones look like they're off and the pale ones look like they're lit up, so I keep expecting the pale ones to mean New Posts.  I'll have to make my brain read the dark ones as full and the pale ones as empty, or something like that, so I can remember what's what.

 

A bunch of posts look like this... Very hard for me, almost like it is unformatted. Is this me, or is everyone getting this?

Any ideas...every time I have hit backspace in a post for editing today it has kicked me back into the previous page, just like if I had hit back on my browser button...and when I hit forward on my browser  my whole post  in progress is gone. 

It is making me all  to have to re-type all my posts 2 or 3 times ...I should jsut leave my bad spelling, sigh.

I am so not techy ...any idea what I am doing wrong..this has never happened before and usually if I accidentally browse away when I browse back my post draft is intact... 

thanks

How many use tapatalk? Lately I have been seeing a lot of car stuff under trending, but with the ambleside forum header on it. It has been driving me nuts. Is there a way to stop it or turn trending off?

I am really enjoying the new look, its so much easier to use.

Just one little question - in the old format we could access our 'likes' list. I really appreciated that - it seemed to be the equivalent of a head nod or murmur of agreement if we were sitting together in conversation.  I cant seem to find this feature in the new format, although there is the little info box in the top right of every post.

If there is a way to access the list, or add this feature, I'd really appreciate it.

If you joined this year  did you get an email telling you that your account had been activated? I'm trying to see if that feature of the forum still works....

I am not sure if I am just old and blind suddeenly or if the color scheme has shifted but even with my glasses i am having trouble making out the dark grey text on the dark Blue forum background...specifically the search , member list and help buttons...The symbols luckily make it clear that the links are there but the text is very difficult to read...I did adjest my display but that is not it. Did those button shift places/color in the upgrade? Is it possible to give the text greater contrast?

Not to nitpick...I do like the upgrade   I just noticed after looking all over for the search box!

I see you have already fixed the "issue" I was having last night with thread subscriptions (under User CP it wasn't showing the go-to-latest-post triangle... it still doesn't, but now there's the Thread Subscriptions link at the top, and it works there, so IMO that means issue fixed ). Hooray! Thank you for the hard work!

One thing I notice is missing- if I hover over the title of a post, I no longer get a preview of the first sentence. I haven't decided yet if that matters to me or not....

It all looks so different!

First of all, my thanks to you all who worked on the wonderful upgrade!! 

When I'm in a thread, I don't see an option to subscribe to it. 

Thanks!

Welcome back, everyone! Well, I got it done.

However. Those who have been around for a while know the drill. For those who have not gone through upgrades in the past, be forewarned that there will likely be some glitches here and there to be worked out. I have done what I can and when Phyllis gets up in a few hours, she will take it from there.

Currently, the forum is still closed for posting, but open for reading. At some point on January 1st, we will reopen the forum. I apologize in advance for the delays, but there was rampant sickness in our house over the last 2 weeks, so my beloved and I were not able to do this until the last minute.

When we do open, if you come across things not functioning correctly, just post in tech support and let us know!

Have a great 2015!

I just wanted to give all of you a heads up that I will be doing a much needed update on the forum.

It was a sick Christmas at our house...3 down and back up....3 of us are still in play right now...who knows if/when we will get this yucky gastro bug! If the remaining ones of us stay in the game, it could as early as tonight. Otherwise, if my IT guy comes down sick in the next couple of hours (he feels "off" right now), expect to see the update done sometime in the next few days, but before the forum reopens.

Dear Ambleside Online members,

This is a VERY important announcement, so please read!

The AO forum and Facebook group will take a restful Holiday Break beginning on Friday, Dec 19. We'll re-open the forum and Facebook group again on Charlotte Mason's birthday, Thursday, January 1. The forum will be closed to posting.

The CM method is about more than homeschooling; it's about life and relationships. We would like our AO family of members, moderators, Auxiliary and Advisory to step back from lessons and computers, and take time to savor the holidays with their loved ones.

Should you need AO information during the break, existing threads will remain available at the forum, and of course the AO website will remain up and running.

We encourage you all to explore AO's special Holiday pages during the break!

May you find time to reflect on the meaning of Christmas, enjoy time with those you love, and be refreshed as you anticipate the coming year.

We wish you a Merry Christmas!
