Megan. I have now re-instated the blurb on the profile. If you click on someone’s avatar and then on the profile tab you will see what they have written about themselves. You can edit your own description by clicking the Edit button. Hope this helps.

Hi Michele

Yes it is a bit of an odd title. It’s the default for the forum software. I don’ t think we need it at all to be honest. I’ll look into removing it.

Thanks
Stuart

Hi Megan

Thanks for the feedback. I will look into the blurbs and see why they haven’t been transferred across.

Hi Min
The problem is these people will be based overseas and are virtually untraceable. They may not even be selling anything, just luring people onto a website loaded with viruses or trying to get details for identity theft.

The individuals doing this won't even be aware of who we are. They will have some system that scans the web for…[Read more]

Hi Michele
Unfortunately the only way we could make this more secure is to manually approve every single person who wants to join the forum. Even then we would have no way of knowing if someone was going to post spam until they actually did it. These people set up email accounts, use them for a few days to spam and then just set up a new one.…[Read more]

Hi Folks
Thanks to you all for being on the ball, as per usual. I've deleted the spam messages and the user account responsible. Sadly there is no way to stop these people, if you can call them that. We have to allow people to register and post freely or the forum would be useless. The best we can do is keep our collective eyes peeled and…[Read more]

Hi Jean
I have sent you a private message with my personal email address in it. Can you copy the entire contents of one of the bounce backs and send it to me please?

Thanks

Hi Dai
I've tried a few things to replicate the problem and it may be that you were not signed in. For some reason the "Start discussion" button is showing up even when someone is not signed in (I will raise this with the website developers). Did you get the annoying CAPTCHA letters and numbers before you posted?

Hi Jennifer
I have moved your post into its own thread as it was getting a bit lost way down in the other thread. Hopefully you should see some replies now.

Hi Folks
It looks like the over sized picture problem has been fixed. I've tested in IE and Chrome browsers and all seems to be well again. If anyone is still experiencing the problem please let me know by posting here or sending me an email at webteam@myeloma.org.uk.

Stuart.

Nice work Dai! I will pass this information on to our dev guys. I'm sure it will prove useful.

Thanks
Stuart.

Hi
It does seem to only be affecting newly uploaded images as far as I can tell. Our developers are looking into the problem and will hopefully have it sorted shortly.

In the mean time a little trick to see the text underneath a large image is to select all the text (hold down the ctrl key and press A, or select with the mouse).

I will…[Read more]
