I can see no topics at all today. Not even the 'm' thing. I wonder if this post will surface on the front page eventually? |
jeffreyw3 | 17 Nov 2017 12:47 p.m. PST |
Yeah, just happened here, too. |
Editor in Chief Bill | 17 Nov 2017 12:47 p.m. PST |
I turned off topics temporarily while I worked on the 'm' bug. Topics are back now. |
Cerdic | 17 Nov 2017 12:49 p.m. PST |
Ah, yes. They are back. So is our old friend 'm'! |
Vigilant | 17 Nov 2017 1:15 p.m. PST |
Oh no they're not! That's every day this week. |

I typed a lengthy post this morning … then it was gone. Lap top said, something about refresh the site. But my post was still gone. |

Nice to see the "Ferranti Reset" still in use as a viable method of resolving software issues. :D |

TMP will post no topic before it's time…. (Spoken in a Orsen Wells voice). |
Cacique Caribe | 17 Nov 2017 5:21 p.m. PST |
Legion 4 Lol. That almost sounded like one of those "the dog ate my homework" excuses. Or, in this case, "the machine ate my work". :) Dan |
Editor in Chief Bill | 17 Nov 2017 7:38 p.m. PST |
Editor Gwen will contact those of you who are still reporting problems, so we can sort out exactly what problem(s) you are talking about. |
Gonsalvo | 17 Nov 2017 9:20 p.m. PST |
No topics before 10:41 AM today display on the front page. |

Why are all these accounts locked? |
Cacique Caribe | 19 Nov 2017 7:21 a.m. PST |
Wow, you're right! Vigilant – Basic Member David Manley – Supporting Member Gonsalvo – Basic Member So they reported that they had trouble seeing the topics for a while, but now they can't access them at all? Dan |

Gwydion | 19 Nov 2017 3:01 p.m. PST |
piper909 locked out as well – very odd. |
Editor in Chief Bill | 20 Nov 2017 6:50 p.m. PST |
The accounts are locked while Editor Gwen gets their bug reports, so we can address the forum problems they are reporting. She has sent emails to each of them. |
tookey23 | 20 Nov 2017 8:18 p.m. PST |
She could get their bug reports if she pirvate messaged them and they hit reply. |
deephorse | 21 Nov 2017 10:11 a.m. PST |
Makes one wonder why locking their accounts is necessary to address any forum problems? Must remember never to report a bug from now on! |
Editor in Chief Bill | 21 Nov 2017 1:25 p.m. PST |
Makes one wonder why locking their accounts is necessary to address any forum problems? It gets their attention, and it allows us to address the problems they are reporting. |
fantasque | 21 Nov 2017 3:32 p.m. PST |
so if I understand correctly, you have problems accessing the forum, you report it, and in response you get temporarily shut out all together? Is that going to motivate people to highlight difficulties in future? You already have their attention given that they have taken the time to tell you about their difficulties without being asked. |
Gwydion | 21 Nov 2017 4:10 p.m. PST |
Has a slight Kafkaesque feel to it admittedly. |
Cacique Caribe | 22 Nov 2017 6:20 a.m. PST |
And Hans has now been added to that list too? TMP link Maybe I'm no too much pain med right now, but I don't see the word "temporarily" in the explanation line for him though. Dan |

Gone Fishing | 23 Nov 2017 9:00 a.m. PST |
And what was his crime? One of the best blokes left and he's locked out? Please reconsider, Bill. |
Cacique Caribe | 23 Nov 2017 9:21 a.m. PST |
Agreed. Who knows, but it simply says locked. Not temporarily so, or waiting for him to contact moderator. Dan PS. These days I'm starting to sound a lot like Jack Sparrow … "Yes, but why is the rum gone?" |
Editor in Chief Bill | 23 Nov 2017 10:45 p.m. PST |
Nice to see the "Ferranti Reset" still in use as a viable method of resolving software issues. :D It wasn't a reboot, David, I simply 'turned off' the homepage display of forum topics while I worked on the bug fix, then turned it back on. The server is in Cleveland, I can't physically turn it on or off. |
Legion 4 | 24 Nov 2017 8:28 a.m. PST |
Give me the server's address. I live about an hour from Cleveland. Me and my gumbas will go "tune'm up" is you'd like ! |
David Manley | 24 Nov 2017 11:40 p.m. PST |
As discussed it was a joke that would have amused some military types of the older generation |
deephorse | 25 Nov 2017 3:05 a.m. PST |
Is that why you were locked out? It was obviously a joke, but I guess it didn't translate well into American! BTW, will be trying your Russo-Japanese naval rules soon. |
ochoin | 26 Nov 2017 2:19 p.m. PST |
HvS gone? Now there's the pity. He was a valuable TMPer & a very nice guy. |
Gone Fishing | 08 Dec 2017 5:56 p.m. PST |
Hi Ochoin, hope you see this: pm sent. |
