Hi ladies-
I notice that when I reply to a thread and choose "Subscribe to Thread with instant email notification" it does not work. Sometimes I will get one email with the next person's reply, but after that it stops sending me emails. When I go to my profile and check Thread Subscriptions, I am still subscribed, with email notification ... am I missing something?
Thx-

I just posted some discussion threads and was unable to use the bold and italic fonts within the post as I have previously done. [undefined] appeared at the start and end of the intended section rather than the usual [b] [i].

"insert hyperlink" is not working for me right now. Is it just me? When I click the button, I get an "undefined" tag, like this:
[undefined=undefined][/undefined]

It may be a problem on my end, but I've already tried my obvious fixes so I wanted to check before I dig deeper.

Ok, so I am really enjoying reading the post of "So are there any...." and I am up to 71 of 164 posts. Can we say that is going to take a while. Any who, I am thinking, is there a way to bookmark so that you can jump right in reading where you last left off?
Just wondering.

I was searching for a particular thread and could not find it via the Search function. I manually looked for the thread, then tried to find out why it hadn't come up in my searches. After doing several tests, I finally tested the Search feature by copying the subject from the thread and pasting it into the search box. Nothing was returned.

The text I entered was "a child's history of the world" (without the quotes).

Since this is the actual subject of the thread, why does it not show up in the search results?

When I click on the picture icon, it wants a URL, does that mean the photo has to already be on the web? That we can't upload from our own computer?

Thanks.

Hi Phyllis,
Is there any way to get ALL the emails generated in a particular thread?

Some of the threads are <ahem> rather verbose and I find that, by the time I get back online to check the forum, I may be too far gone to catch up.

I do check email throughout the day, which is more often than I check in on my forum subscriptions (once a day), and if I was getting regular emails on one particular thread (the HONS for Parents thread) I would be better able to keep up.

If you have any problems logging in, please do not hesitate to email me (fylliska@gmail.com).

It seems that sometimes when members forget their passwords, the automatic password reset feature doesn't work. If that happens to you, don't panic. Just email me, and I'll reset it manually. I do my best to answer requests for help as soon as possible, so you shouldn't have to wait for long. We don't want anyone to be "locked out" of the forum!

When I am typing a post, the body extends into the area for choosing post options. The only post option I can see is "Disable Smilies". Is there some way to fix this? I feel like I did fix it earlier, but I've forgotten how to do it.

It would be great if it could -- I often like to subscribe before I've read an entire thread, and sometimes scrolling to the bottom of the page takes awhile.

It seems that whenever I am typing a reply that takes more than a minute or two, when I click the reply button to post I receive a message about trying to access a page I am not allowed access to. (or something similar). I end ut having to copy the message & log back in again. It's rather annoying as some replies take more than a few words. I could understand it if I had left the computer to do other things but not while I have been actively typing.

Am I doing something wrong or is it just a weird glitch. Is there anything I can do on my end to help prevent this from happening?

Thanks.

I seem to loose the threads I would like to see again. Does anyone have any ideas?

I like going to the User CP it helps me find the threads I have posted.
What do you all like the Best and Why.

Oh and I loved the Kindle information it helped me to put two free books on my kindle.

I had a post about why my misspelled words do not become underlined but I can't seem to find it again. Is it lost in cyber-land or is it just me?

I was attempting to add a picture that I had downloaded on my computer as my avatar and it keeps failing. The steps I am taking are to click upload picture on the change avatar page then I go to the My Picture folder on my HD, choose the picture, open it, the name of the pic shows up in the rectangle but then I was clicking "change avatar" button on the bottom of the page and I get a message that it failed. I must be doing something wrong but I can't figure it out. Thanks for the help.

The past couple of days when I click on New Posts it will show me about 10 or so posts and that's it. I know it's not all of the new posts because when I click on Today's Posts there are several pages that have posted since I last visited. Is there a possiblity that it isn't working properly for me or am I just confused?

Thanks,

Is there a way to attach photos to a thread or do you have to have a url?

Trying to attach a photo in handicrafts.

After trying the "Help" link and searching on a "New Thread" page, I can't find it. Is there a way to attach a .doc or .pdf or whatever to a post?

Hello! I have a sugestion regarding the wording in the description of the LD/Special Needs private group.

In the "Gifted" group, the description reads:

"A private group for parents dealing with the often misunderstood issues of raising and homeschooling gifted children; for the sake of member privacy, inclusion into this group requires that you introduce yourself to the group within a week of being approved."

However, in the "LD/Special Needs" group, the description simply reads:

"A private group for parents with children who have special needs from learning issues to physical challenges."

As a parent of a child with quadriplegia cerebral palsy (whch brings a host of phsyical and medical challenges), I humbly suggest that

"for the sake of member privacy, inclusion into this group requires that you introduce yourself to the group within a week of being approved." be added to the Special Needs group also.

I would feel a lot more comfortable sharing our experiences in this particular field of homeschooling (I have four non-disabled children also) knowing that people are expected to introduce themselves, and not just lurk.

Thank you for considering this request.

I just made myself a Kindle book for Madam How and Lady Why with a linked TOC and week divisions. I'd love to make it available for anyone who wants it, but I'm not sure where the best place to share it would be.

Tim at our server/host thinks he has resolved the issue with the security/certificate issue. Can you see if you're still getting the "untrusted site" warning? he'd like some feedback to know if it's all taken care of.

Why isn't there a 'General' category in the 'Family' section? Or am I just not seeing it?! I have some questions I'd like to ask regarding multi-generational living (we are trying it out living with my MIL for a year) and using AO. In particular, trying to make our lifestyle, as informed by our schooling choices, understood.

I don't have an only child; I'm not a single parent; I have multiple kids, but not a large family; and both big boys are doing Year 1, so I'm not juggling several years at once.

Any thoughts? Where do discussions about Family and AO go when they do not fit the sub-categories?

Thanks for all you do, mods and admin. This forum is great!
