Only reason I brought it up is I could have sworn you posted that the speed issues had been fixed just the other day.  Don't mind me  :-\

Something I have noticed recently is a delay in eMail notification from the forum to my own eMail account for PMs that I have actually read and responded to and subsequently removed from my PM in-box.  I thought at first it was just me not paying attention to events and time but not the case this morning when I received an eMail notification of a message to me via PM from Gingie (Graeme Davidson) that I had read, replied to, and then deleted from my PM in-box.  That was two days ago and the PM notification just showed up this morning to my eMail account.  Has anyone else experienced this issue?  Trying to determine if it is my eMail that is delaying the notifications or the forum software at this point as it is really not clear what is to be blamed for the delays.

hmm, same thing happened to me with those PM you sent. I thought it was because my DND Blackberry was holding them, but if it was happening in your end too....

Glad to see it is not a case of old age and senility creeping in to the problem :)

Jon had sent me a PM, and I did the same as you Jeff, responded to it while on the forum, then the notice showed up in my 'Receive' emails a couple of days later ---

Thanks for the input Robert, this is indicating that there is a feature or setting that needs to be looked at and damned if I know what that particular feature or setting is but I suspect Jon can get 'er done :)

I recently discovered that I haven't visited the "Current Builds"/"Physical Models" section of the site in several weeks. It appears that it just doesn't show as containing new posts for me when I look at the main forum page. The "Profiles and Pixels" and "Stories" sections light up in bold when they contain new posts, but neither "Current Builds" nor "Physical Models" do so.  ???

Could the "Physical Models" child boards be moved to show up on the child boards bar on the main forum page, sorta like they do for the "Ideas and Inspiration" section? Or would that create confusion with the "Profiles and Pixels" and "Stories" sections?
Cheers,
Moritz

Hi Moritz,

I understand what you are asking for and from what I can see, it would seem that splitting the sub-forum Physical Models and raising it up one level to become a full forum might take care of that issue.  Then we would have a separate forum for Physical Models and the child boards within would have the same rank/status/level as the other forums that were in the Current Builds sub-forum. 

Not sure if we really want to do that but maybe putting it to a vote to see how the others feel about it and we can go with the majority decision. 


Other options:

1. Leave it all in one forum but promote the child boards to the same status as Physical Models, Profiles and Pixels, Stories, Aero-space.  In the process it might be necessary to rename them to reflect the association with the original Physcial Models forum:

Physical Models - Sea
Physical Models - Land
Physical Models - Scifi and Fantasy
Physical Models - Other

To be honest, I am not keen on another change but it can be done. 

2. Combine the child boards (Sea, Land, Scifi and Fantasy, Other) again under Physical Models (as it was previously before it was divided up).

Yep, that's probably the only thing that'll work. I tried some other relationship changing and that made
no difference.

One thing I noticed is that we have everything under General Category, if we are to rearrange things
I'd go further, add new categories and split it out that way. It won't change the look or arrangement in
any startling way, but some folks might need to redo their ignore preferences.

Having a look into guys.  Not sure if I will find anything though.

At least at this stage it is simply a relatively minor inconvenience/annoyance an not a disruptive problem. ;)

The new colour scheme is ghastly: please change it back!. In particular, the slightly-darker-pink writing on a light-pink background is nearly unreadable and literally does hurt my eyes: no joke.  ???

It's fine for a day, but the text on the light pink is a little light to read.  I like a little April Fools fun.

Where I am, April 1 isn't for another nine hours... that's GMT-8, so if he's GMT+12 that's probably the April Fool's joke for the year.

I always thought April Fool's pranks were things like pop-its under the toilet-seat or a Baby Ruth bar floating in the punchbowl... LOL

Good grief...I already changed it twice and it keeps going back!!!  Now you removed the ability to change the theme??!!!

Greg...the pitchfork and torch mob is on the move!!!!

And yeah...April 1 isn't for another 6 hours here but remember Aussies greet the new day before almost all of us  ;)
