I too have lost my avatar logo at the moment.

Seems my avatar has also bitten the dust. 

I ended up re-installing mine, as I wasn't sure if there was a chance it would return/be returned.

Unfortunately mine was lost during the fire of London, just joking but no longer have it.

I had that problem on Chrome. Fixed it by tweaking my ScriptSafe extension.

Are you using Chrome? If so, try running it without any extensions, then work back

It is already working as advertised again, thanks for reacting !

You're welcome.

Maybe my tweak wasn't what fixed it after all.

No matter - if it ain't broke.......... you know the rest!

Still got the 'Property' banner at the top of the page, is this being sorted, or does anyone have any suggestions please?

Have you checked your notification settings. They could of changed due to the migration and updates done.

In would love to check Notification page but it wont let me have it.

 

Lets take today Sunday 20th. Haven't been on TV for over a week. Turned on to find I have been signed out??? Normally not a problem just resign in again. Would it let me do it well NO. Said there is a problem with TV web page. Took me around 1 hour to get back in. Only did same to put a note on this section.

 

If you would be so kind as to inform me by PM when you have sorted your site I MIGHT use again. Until then you have lost yet another punter. Going to join all the other ones that don't bother with TV anymore. Please don't tell me it's my comp: as I run off 120mb and don't have a problem with any other site. Await your reply but I won't be holding my breath.

I have the problem sorted, I probably should have worked it out myself a lot earlier lol

 

We had a double power outage yesterday at about 2pm very fast off and on twice in succession, so I looked a bit closer, it turns out that me PST file on my mail application had become corrupted and I was in fact receiving no new mail from anywhere not just TVF, so the problem had nothing to do with TVF it was a corrupted mailer file on my system, all fixed now and working 

 

sorry for the wild goose chase ????

@smedly Just a thought - your mail application is presumably MS Outlook (part of Office perhaps?). I draw that from your mention of PST files as I use it too.

It's often worthwhile checking via the webmail if you see no incoming emails. When my Chrome opens, my GMail is one of my startup tabs.

Outlook is great but the webmail is closer to the source, if you like.

well yes of course, I do have a degree level education in networking amongst other things, it was something I overlooked for a while until I actually decided to look into it, it took me 2mins to diagnose and solve, thanks for you input 

 

Power outage causing corruption of a file that was likely being accessed at the time, there were no other indicators or errors that the file was corrupt apart from no updates to the file itself which were not evident

Where has the news gone? Have you stopped it?

Holy moly. This new format is way too fast; I just can't keep up and I am young and fit. How on earth how are all the doddering old codgers that are the majority of posters going to manage?!?! I'm off for a lie down.

Very good....I probably would be considered "old" at 69 but not doddery...thank God.

   If you live to reach the same age as myself you may realize that is a cause for celebration (rather than derision) considering the fact that you will have most lightly overcome many tough obstacles along the way....and more sadly....lost a few friends who were not so lucky.

Chrome browser on Microsoft Surface Pro 2018, no special browser add-ons or anything aside from a font override.  Turning that off did not help.

Didn't get notified of pages 5/6.

 

Very difficult to use tvf, the bloomin' banner gets in the way.

If you mean the one for the migration being completed it does not come back if you sign in and close it.

A small screens size does affect it. Are you using full screen. The zoom settings on the browser also affects the font and other options when writing a post.

I use the surface pro, do you have zoom or the magnification settings changed?

I've tried all browser zoom settings from 80% to 200% and nothing changes with regard to the toolbar buttons.  Above 200%, things get squeezed and buttons start dropping off.  I am at 150% screen magnification (the setting that is recommended in the control pane), but even if I set it to 100% or 125%, there is no difference.  Indent does not appear no matter what zoom level or screen mag I set.

 

I am using a different PC today; a Surface Pro 3, but having the same issue.

There used to be indent left & right buttons, which I used often when quoting external material.

 

Now that I look more closely, I just noticed the superscript and subscript buttons are missing too!  I used those often in the climate change discussions to make a subscript 2 when I write "CO2".  Here's what they look like:

 

 

Seems like you are missing the same things.  At least I know it's not just me.

[vogie]

Some topics I get notifications and some other topics I don't?

Right indent has reappeared (I'm at home now, just for the record):

 

 

Left indent and subscript/superscript are still missing.
