Another repeat today, 11.6.26 🙄
BTW: Today is the ***th anniversary of the incident 😉
🥸

Hi Stephen, I did some extra looking and found that I have to click on Private messages, on the left and that opens access and then works as you say.
Thanks for your reply.
Roy

@roycv you should be able to simply click on the messages that show unread, might need to scroll down to see unread older ones if you have quite a few private messages.

Stephen

Hi Steven I have 2 private messages but how do I open them? Also there are several messages with a single line and some dots. How do I look at the full message?
Roy

Thanks Steve, looks like Admin needs to restore my silver membership -then I'll be able!

Hi Tony,

Just quickly, I see you should be Silver. Got a feeling I know what’s happened. Not your fault. Once I’m home later I’ll restore your membership. No need to do anything.

Thanks,
Stephen

Sorry Tony the silver member icon did not appear on your avatar on my laptop.
Truly humbled am I!
Roy

@TonyAsh Hi Tony. You can access past questions in the new system. It is not obvious. There is a previous button at the top. I have done it and did work.

@TonyAsh I just tried by clicking previous at the top of question of the day and it works with no issues
On my avatar there is a bronze badge, there is nothing on yours so check your subscription status

I'm plenty coughed up! I'm a silver! In the past you could access past questions but not now it appears?

@TonyAsh I think you have to cough up to be a Bronze member for 'privileges'.
Roy

Why can't you access past questions??

Wharf.. Is actually an acronym WareHouse At River Frontage. An abbreviation used on maps to squeeze in a description.
It became an easy reference to the facility.

Der Besanmast heisst bei uns Kreuzmast!
Landratte Mike

We call the mizzenmast a cross mast!
See you soon, Landlubber Mike

re word of day can't the clues be be removed

Thought that was a sword (Game of Thrones)

I tapped VIEW RESULTS in the upper right corner and it came back

Ok Gents:
You're going to think I'm nuts or at least slacking off, but where is the question?

So Doug

I can see they didn't have to replace your funny bone😁

@roycv Funny! I thought Friday was stuck on a Caribbean Island with Crusoe!🤔
What was he doing trolling about in the Himalayas??😉

😎

the question about a narrow passage of water fooled me must have had a dim moment flopped on that on

Johnny Horton song




SINK THE BISMARCK

First lines of the song

IN MAY OF 1941 THE WAR HAD JUST BEGUN
THE GERMANS HAD THE BIGGEST SHIP. IT HAD THE BIGGEST GUNS

@RossM
You piqued my curiosity! Johnny who?🤔
😎

My money is on when did they conquer Everest for Friday.
Roy

I am afraid to ask what the QOD for June 6th will be

I wondered if this might be the question for today as it is again an anniversary.

Roy

That is a very topical question,as the anniversary is today 24th. May.
Roy

Ok How many of you heard the first line of Johnny Horton's song playing in their head?

Or perhaps part nearest the accident.
Roy

@RossM Or 'Sharp end'? 😮😕

MAY 22, No choice named THE POINTY END?!?

Scoring fixed 👍

Perhaps its drunk with power thats why its got a hiccup
Philuk👍

scoring has a hiccup. it is posting results totalling 31 days

Well today was easy wish they were all like that

Well, my 404 error messages just stopped and "permission to come aboard sir."
Happy to be back!
😀

@RonH I agree it was brilliant as it was this comes up sometimes up with all sorts of messages change is good if for reason if just for change sake seems daft a poll would have been good

Took a bit of doing but got there today bit silly but i got it, i think a i is taking the wiss it goes with silly look of the site in general how old are we all, are they trying to attract young kids on site? Still not sure but all the bits ate here whete the score athe the bottom so we know what we have missed.

@SouthportPat: I agree with you Pat. However it could be the Ai lulling us into a false sense of security before increasing the complexity of the questions. Watch out..😉

Is it me or are these questions getting a lot easier these days - perhaps someone has had a word with AI and he has listened but ATM there is nothing to tax the brain !! Just my opinion - anyone else think the same ?

Hello ship modelers, we've covered this topic in several very interesting threads.

Now, to understand how Stephen (Fireboat) great did, just search for a keyword (which I remembered related to this topic) and easily find all the threads and posts addressing the topic (because the search was done in the texts, not just the titles), even though they were very old.
It was impossible before. There's always room for improvement.

I don't like it at all! Please return to the old format, or at least hold a poll because from what I can see there are more against than for. I haven't been able to find my Harbour or threads that I have followed. Sorry, but I can't get my head round this new format, the old one was well well better...

That works
Thanks

Hi Ron,

You can change the default sort order to Newest first, that’ll flip things in forum threads so the newest posts are always shown first.

I’ll make this the default later on once I’m home.

Also looking at your screen - far too many ads. I know you’re a basic member, but I think some of those ads are overly obtrusive. I’ll look into that too.

@chugalone100 - what’s not working for you?

Thanks for the screenshots too. I can’t login as everyone, so it’s useful to see what others are seeing.

Thanks,
Stephen

I see EDW has made a response to RonH but here again I am not able to Read and Reply because I get this on my screen and the first message on ghe screen was when Stephen introduces beginning this Question of the Day.

Sorry guys, but this new system is not working for me.

I can understand the frustration of this new site. For instance, in my emails I see this message,
But when I click on Read and Reply I get this screen .

It doesn’t go directly to the person’s comment but instead I have to read through ALL the responses from day 1 to find the comment made by RonH

That’s Frustrating!

Ron
The site takes a bit of getting used to but when you do it is great. The site reflects the modern user interface on websites and as technology moves forward features used on the old website stand to stop working.
If you are experiencing lag, check your browser is up to date.
If had issues with performance of my old iPad so I switched over to my new laptop, the difference was fantastic

Sent out a reply on the new Question of the day and no reply. The change to this and the whole website is terrible. Very slow and difficult to move around. Who ever decided to change this should reconsider that they destroyed this site and will be loosing people to other forums that are easier to manage. The old style “Question of the day” had me opening up the site everyday, then once done I would look at other posts. I am sure that no one will answer me on this as it is hard to reply on a individual post🤔😕

What happened to the website? I use to like the question of the day and now it has changed. This helped me everyday to go on this web page and while doing the question of the day I would also look at the forum for information. Bad decision to change and now I will not be looking at this everyday. There are other forums out there and now I will be looking elsewhere 😕
