Hello, are you still having trouble saving your new location as part of your profile?

Hello,

Would it be possible to have permission to edit older posts? There are a few post where I have linked to my personal website and I would like to edit those posts and delete the links if possible.

It would be a lot to me if this were made possible, or perhaps and admin could edit/delete my old posts.

Thank you very much in advance.

Even before the migration to vBulletin there was a limit to how long a member could edit a post. The limit was 60 days, after that members could not go back in and edit a post. So this isn't something new.

I would be more than happy to make changes for you in your posts if you will provide me links to the posts you need changed and what you need changed in them.

I think a more practical solution may be if thread is not closed, to simply hit Reply with Quote and the add updated info.

Well, this latest email link ( http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11584402&goto=newpost ) took me to page 51. It should have taken me to page 52 to the last post. Hope RCU is still working on this bug.

I know what you are talking about. Back in the late 1980's, I was part of a software team at an aerospace company, modifying software written 10 years prior. There was a comment may be every 30 lines of code, all in FORTRAN IV with no indenting, with embedded IBM 360J assembly in this minicomputer based load servo control and data acquisition package for aircraft structural testing. I ended up using a word processor, blocking it out by tiered indenting to discover sections, developed a data dictionary every time I discovered what a variable was. Inserted a lot of comments to simulate structured programming. (It was highly structured, but not evident in the writing style.) Then recompiled it and checked the CRC had not changed, which meant I did not modify the code. It took a couple weeks of 8 hours a day, but was finally making headway into changes required on portions I was working on. Package was 10,000 lines of code, to which we added about another 5,000 for a new testing program.

Yes, you have a considerable data base infrastructure to maintain. As time progresses, I understand that software packages need to be retired, as the old is obsolete (probably using outmoded languages) and requirements have expanded. I've lived through the debugging process, when after racking your brain you make a small correction, it seems a milestone. Back then I found a bug with the old package. Minicomputer would run for weeks during a structural durability test, then software would mysteriously crash. I found it was missing one line of code to update the pointer when returning a portion of freed memory back to the linked list free queue. After that, the software was definitely more robust.

I've appreciated it as an info repository, have found solutions to my legacy McCoy, Enya, Gilbert, Fox, OS engines and plans of the 1950's and 1960's. Plus, I've found correction solutions to my kit and plan building. So, having access to history certainly helps.

Tapatalk would be absolutely awesome. Sadly, IB claims to have their own version of a similar app, so Tapatalk looks to be out of the question. They plan to release it "someday" but I for one am not too confident now.

That's true but this new forum has a very short timer (about 60 seconds) where you can edit a newly created post to correct grammar,spelling, etc.. BUT it's only around 60 seconds. and after that it stamps the post with the "message edited by(user name) on (time/date)."
Other vbulletin sites have that timer set to around 5 minutes where a new post can be edited several times before it gets stamped.
How about extending it here?

We've inquired to the programmers this morning about where they are on getting this issue resolved. So far I haven't heard back from them. However, I do know that they watch this thread here as well so they may just answer here directly instead of back to me by email.

On RCG and other forums the links typically take me to the last page I visited rather than the last post. Perhaps that same logic is at work here. I too would prefer to go to the post that is referenced in the e-mail.

My feedback rating was wiped-out, and my profile shows me as a Basic Member and not a Trader Member. What gives?

RCKen

My Feedback: (9)

It's showing you as "Trading Plus" Member. When I look in your profile it shows the same thing there as well.




I'll send a note to the Tech Staff to find out about your Feedback Rating

Ok, I heard back from our programmers. Your ratings are still in place, you can find them here:
http://www.rcuniverse.com/community/...s&memid=439027

However, I know exactly what you are looking at. If you go to your profile and click on the "Feedback Score" it all shows as zeros. It appears that there are two sets of data. I know where this is coming from, RCU is simply a huge site across many different servers and because of this we wound up with two different sets of feedback data. I know this isn't your problem, but I'm just trying to help explain what is going on. I've ask our Tech Staff to see if we can find a way to get all of these different data sets cleaned up so that we have only one.

Ok, I just heard back from our programmers. There is a bug that there is two separate sets of feedback data. Here is what they are going to do about it. They are going to take the "Feedback Ratings" in a user's profile under the new vB software and they are going to replace that with a link back to the members "Market Ratings" from the Marketplace and the RCU software. This should fix all of the issues resulting from the confusion. They have it scheduled on their work log and said it should be corrected within 48 hours.

Could be my computer, but most photos come up "broken" now (no actual image, just the bad image icon). If the photos shows as a thumbnail, it won't enlarge it in the photo viewer. Pictures viewed normally this morning, so this is fairly recent. Anybody else having this issue?

I have logged off, deleted all cookies, again, restarted IE9, logged back on. Then opened email and clicked on the link with the same results.

John,
Ok, I logged on using my test user account and I am seeing the same thing you are. I get a invalid link as well. I'm going to send this to our programmers to see if they can figure out what's going on with it.


As I was working through this I noticed that you live in Apache, Ok. That makes us neighbors as I live in Lawton!! Do you fly up there in Apache??

Ken

JohnB96041

Sure do. Have my own flying site just West and 2 miles South of my house. Also go the the Weatherford RC field and fly since my son lives just East of their field about 3 miles. Drop the wife off at my sons house and go fly.

RCKen

My Feedback: (9)

If you're ever coming down this way come on over and fly with us!! We'd love you have you at our field.

How big is the field you have up there??

I tried to upload a 1.8meg byte pdf and no dice. Would not except it. It was saved as a version 5.0 pdf for compatability. Is there some rediculously low pdf file size requirement?

This needs to be fixed.

Ken: I have a grass only field that I keep mowed. I am the only person in Apache that flys models. Runway is 80' wide and 300' long. Has a wheat field on the South, grass on the East and West, one tree off the North end of the runway. I have to fly around the tree to land going South.
