FerrariChat.com update - Questions

Ok.....

 

I can't send PMs. The link is simply not there. Am I missing something?

 

I have older chats saved on bookmarks for technical information only.
Why can't I open them now?

 

iPhone. No browser. Either tapatalk or the fchat app. I've been using both this week.

 

This is my first post and I WILL figure this out but right now I am rather frustrated. I need some help but apparently I will not find it here.

Rob: I typed FAQ in the Search box above. Try it. The list includes "Title tax FAQ" and "PORSCHE FAQ" but the 4th one in the list is "Ferrari Chat Computer Faq [SIC]". That looked promising until I opened it and found a single post by vrra on May 16,2004. Then I searched "Ferrari Chat FAQ". That list is even more irrelevant than the first one.

I started his post with the intent to reply to ago car nut (see below). I clicked on Quote at the bottom, right corner of his post but it certainly did not do what I expected. So, after FAQ failed, I copied and pasted what I can now see below. Whether it will actually post as I see it now is another question.
[more to Rob below]

...car nut: I too have experienced the same problem since this site's format change last month. I can only say that there has been some improvement in the past week, possibly related to "we are going to force https starting sometime Wednesday." (See the note at the top of this page.) I do not use Chrome, but several other browsers, and my Samsung/Android phone, are failing to load old bookmarks. The latest Firefox reports that it is an https issue and that the site is "insecure". One Firefox bookmark for the book collectors forum would not load a week ago, but it works now, so there is hope.

In the book collectors forum, the last page was 109 before the format change. For at least a week after the format change, the last page was 44. Then a week ago the last page jumped to 88. Blanco-TdF posted recently about this on that forum.

He gives a formula that works for finding old posts. I know that it works for that thread.

Back to Rob: Jack-the-Lad (avitar below) has more than 20K posts but nothing since the format change. I know Jack. Some email requirement has either stymied him or pissed him off. I wish someone would try to correct it. I miss his input.

We fixed that weeks ago. If you can, tell him to try again. Haven't heard back from him

 

Ok old bookmarks working now.

 

So...."conversations" has taken the place of "private messages"?

 

yup.

And, they're not so easy to delete, either.

D

 

Yes, you have to "leave" in order to effectively delete it.

 

Your positive feedback comes in the form of an absence of complaints - I guess that'll have to do.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Just noticed the new feature of + / - to expand or collapse a section - that's cool

 

Yep! We just went live with it today. Hope it works well for everyone!

 

Why can I not see the
Ferrari LaFerrari vs Mclaren P1 vs Porsche 918
thread in the
288GTO/F40/F50/Enzo/LaFerrari section ?

 

No idea. It was right there on page 1 when I looked:

https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/ferrari-laferrari-vs-mclaren-p1-vs-porsche-918.388428/​

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Not for me.

 

Click on the link I provided. Can you open it?

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Yep but it’s not on the main sorting page unless I log out

 

That's really weird. Maybe Rob or Jack could help, as it sounds like something for an administrator account to look into.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

What main sorting page? Can you link us to that? It is showing on the second page for me, since no replies in over a day. Threads are sorted by latest reply.

 

https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/forums/288gto-f40-f50-enzo-laferrari.59/

First, second or whatever page it never shows up

 

Can you upload a screen shot of what you do see?
