Any news on the jumps?

Jump - Van Halen

[Petarkco]

Thank you

[bacco007]

I dont know - I dont seem to suffer from them as frequently as others, so its hard for me to determine

[foxyrover]

Also, @moderators would it be appropriate for me to create a new cricket rights deal thread, with the news that

it might be time for a dedicated thread, considering there isn’t a general coverage thread.

Am wary of course of the speculation that inevitably unfolds…

[foxyrover]

Thanks mods for all the work you do. We do appreciate it (whether we show it or not).

[akymbo82]

I thought it was just me!

Thank you flagging this!

[foxyrover]

Do likes have a limit? Like is there a maximum where they stop saving? Basically on TikTok it only saves x amount of likes globally in a backwards chronological order, given they only have so much server space, so is there a similar thing on here? Because I’ve (procrastinating over work) and gone back into old threads from COVID, and there are posts that I assume I would have pressed like on (you know how much I do that ), and they aren’t liked.

I’ve got no problem, just wondering.

No jumping for me this arvo on the regular threads - so hopefully it’s fixed (fingers crossed)

[foxyrover]

Same Thanks mods!

[Leo_Puglisi6]

Also seems fixed for me

[Brettski_1234]

All good for me now too on PC and mobile

[TelevisionAU]

So far so good here, too

[Drew_1981]

either someone is actively deleting my posts or my account is bugging out. Ill post something then it will just disappear 30 secs later?

[NewsWeary]

Maybe stop splitting discussions across topics.

I think sometimes, people are genuinely confused and may have violated the rules on this forum without noticing it. It would have been nice ( as a courtesy) to at least send a private message to the individual concerned. That’s how people learn from their mistakes.

I too have had my messages removed and I have absolutely no idea what I did wrong. It’s like being dumped by your partner without telling you why. At least, I have the courtesy to say that I’m now done with this sort of interaction and have given a reason why I feel that way.

The Bluey thread was not the place for a lengthy review of Mariah Carey’s performance at the same event.

@Kushaa

Thank you. It didn’t take much effort to provide a bit of context to clear up the misunderstanding. I would have been horrified if my message was deleted because it was offensive to some people. I am glad it wasn’t the case.

No, it was just off-topic. You can read more in the FAQs and TOS. While deleting a post may feel a personal slight against you, it’s really not. And we delete a fair few posts every day, so messaging every poster after deletion would not be possible. If you do have an issue or query about why, you can always message one of the staff.

@Kushaa

You may get a lot of support from the others by way of LIKES’ but I am not ashamed to admit that I am not bright enough to understand all the rules around here. I will make mistakes in this forum albeit not that many over the years (some of which I did not understand why).

Wasn’t about getting LIKES, but just stating why it was removed. Again, feel free to read the rules however it’s a fairly basic tenet of messageboards that taking threads off-topic is discouraged.

@Kushaa

I tend to post messages that are not too serious just to liven up the mood because there are other threads (eg politics, news related) that are just so depressing for me to read.

No problem with that. But you have to also realise your version of ‘lightning the mood’ may be off-topic or against the grain of discussion as well.

@Kushaa

Anyways, this would be a good time for me to ‘hibernate’ and be away from this forum while I plan a trip around the country and overseas. Hopefully, it will also give me a chance to reflect on the real reason why I joined this forum many years ago - to interact with people with similar interests and the joy that I used to have over the years.

Enjoy your trip.

@Kushaa

I plan to go back to all my old posts (all the way back to 2016!) and clean up those messages, especially those ‘personalised’ commentary that may give away too much about my personality in this forum

I have no idea what the point of that would be. But you do you.

[MichaelPower]

Well I mean, I understand if it’s insulting, or offensive posts, then fair enough, delete them. But for instances like Kushaa’s post of Mariah Carey, wouldn’t it have made more sense to move it to the Random Thread instead of nuking it?

[Biscuit45]

My thoughts exactly.

Earlier today I had actually suggested for @Kushaa to post semi unrelated tidbits to the Random Thread discussion, by quoting the previous message from the original thread, and then to expand on it more from there so then that way there is no risk going off-topic since it is a free-for-all discussion, as long as it is appropriate of course.

When browsing on chrome mobile, posts tend to jump a few posts back, or a few posts forwards…. Don’t know if this happens to anyone else?

Update only seems to happen in the radio sub-forum…. Not happening here.
