Website problems since site move last week...

[JayCS]

Probably not just me:
I can post same as before, but can't "find" anything via "search" from before the site move last week and
E.g. a search for "test" or "acceptance" comes up with 3 or 4 posts from the past days.
I also can't message anyone, altho I can tag them in posts (see below).
(Error message: Oops! We ran into some problems. The following recipients could not be found: @JayCS)
I was trying to message @Dooi about this, but couldn't, and then thought I'd post to/for everyone.
Probably working at rectifications, but maybe don't realize?
Search is same whether I'm logged in or not or use a different browser (I tried four).

I've lost my heart...I mean the one next to my name on here. Not sure why?? It's probably me but thought I'd ask...

Hmm, hearts seem to be added when we "like" posts a lot, which makes us "forum supporters". (See Members page.)
But you're right up top, 3rd place, so you're right, that seems wrong, maybe another thing for @Dooi to look into....
Do you remember when you lost it?
Until then we'll just have to remember fimi has a !
(Or maybe you can "earn" a new one in the meantime? Bit strange isn't it, this reward/token stuff, but somehow a little childish motivation seems to help - and hopefully doesn't do harm, like stressing, competition etc.)

Edit: Neither sunkacola nor Jemima - both having a break - have lost their's, so it can't be related to the site move.

Do you remember when you lost it?

Today...very strange!

Also, as well as my missing heart, I forgot to ask, as a forum supporter it's obviously great to help keep the online community going as I know how much it's needed. But I can't for the life of me find how to unlock the following features...

Ability to hide your online status
Unlimited private conversations
Site-wide "forum supporter" badge of appreciation

As I've been having a foggy time just lately'm not sure it it's me or the site!!

I would have sent this as a pm but I can't pm! Hope @Dooi or someone can help!

@JayCS I thought our hearts were when we did donations, I didn’t know you could get them through liking posts? I only like posts when I actually like posts or (when I have little soft spots for the forum members but shhhhhh)

 

[Auriel]

Aw @fimi when you starting with I’ve lost my heart, I thought you’d meant that someone had broken it (I was getting sad, then I read the rest ) you can have this one till it comes back

 

[fimi]

I thought our hearts were when we did donations, I didn’t know you could get them through liking posts?

I also thought the hearts were from being a supporter...
Anyway, thank you @Auriel, I will carry this little with me until I'm reunited with mine.

 

[JayCS]

But I can't for the life of me find how to unlock the following features...

@Dooi once explained to me that (most) features are unlocked automatically as our status grows.
I guess you've had a look at Preferences? That's where I can hid or unhide my forum status.

but I can't pm

You not being able to pm might be your status, I wasn't able to pm someone a few weeks back and thought it was due to them not being on here long enough. But my last successful conversation was Jan 25th, can anyone beat that? I'm beginning to think it's a longer term bug.

I thought our hearts were when we did donations

I also thought the hearts were from being a supporter...

Ah, that fits to the heart next to "Donate" above - I stand corrected. Not embarrassed.
But makes it even buggier how someone can be a forum supporter .... donater ... and lose heart...
Hmm, I kind of preferred the idea that someone giving posts a heart is supporting the forum, but I spose the motors are love and
Also now makes sense that the forum supporters are listed alphabetically, not per any amount they've liked posts.

Thank you @JayCS, I will wait and see what happens...feel sad without my heart!!

 

[Auriel]

Jaycs I got the theory, the forum through many years of reading members stories of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue has now developed symptoms of its own, and due to this your message enablement has been affected and it’s had to borrow fimi’s heart for a bit (extra blood pumping) lets send it some love hugs and a collective prayer till it feels better again

 

[fimi]

I've got my heart back! Well and truly beating once again - thank you whoever rescued it from that nasty gremlin!!!

 

[JayCS]

thank you whoever rescued it from that nasty gremlin!!!

I think we all played our part, and @Dooi was the noble knight :.
And @Auriel got Dooi to message me, so I could confirm that I can't message anyone on my own... a virtually disabled person...

 

[fimi]

Thank you so much @Dooi, @JayCS, @Auriel!! Funny how little things like this cheer me up!!!

 

[fimi]

Not sure why I still can't hide my online status or pm??
