Questions about the forum

[Lena1984]

Thank you, it works now.

Can anyone tell me why a username suddenly changed into something like ‘anon#####’ and that user is no longer can be found?
One dear postcrossing friend of mine suddenly disappeared and her name now became something like above. If this has been discussed elsewhere plz link this to that thread.

What ever happened to.. members gone missing

@journeyforth, You will see this when you “click” the “anon…” account: (Postcrossing mainsite) [Account deleted]

Thank you so much Yudi

I was able to edit our official profile. However I couldn’t find a way to update forum profile. Can somebody help me with this?

[Kanerva]

Go to preferences and choose profile. There you can edit the profile text. Remember to save the changes.

(Preferences you find clicking your avarar on upper right corner and then person icon)

[Nanni_and_Mamma]

I found it. Thank you so much.

Hi. I relatively new to this site. I feel like the “postcrossing” part is going well. However, I just got on the forum and am struggling a bit more!

I have requested to join a Round Robin postcard swap and I am supposed to private message the host and give them my address. But when I think I am sending a private message it ends up directly on the forum!

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! Tami

Welcome to postcrossing! Here are instructions how to send a PM:

How to send Personal Messages (PM's) to others on the forum?

Do you wonder how you can send a PM (Personal Message) to someone on the forum? There’s 2 - two - ways to do it. I’ll show you how to send a message both ways. Way number 1 - This requires you to find a post by the member in the forum. Click on their username. Click on “:email: Message” [image] Write the message and remove the link if prefered (if the message you send isn’t related to the post for instance) Edit the title of the message if needed. Click on “:email: Message” and…

Also, a private message has always an envelope symbol in the title.

Sounds like it might be a connection hiccup… Are you trying to open the forum on a browser window, or through the Discourse Hub app?

[Somaco]

Browser

The problem lasts since a few days now…

[meiadeleite]

Do you know which browser you’re using? And are you running the latest version of it?

[Somaco]

@madelaite opera browser, not exactly the latest version …unable to actualise right now, seems like my internetconnection is too slow or just not stable enough to log in

[meiadeleite]

That’s probably the issue — the forum expects a relatively recent version of all browsers, and might not work on older ones. We’re recommend updating your browser’s software, when you can.

[Somaco]

Ok, thanks

What does lock icon at the beginning of the topic title mean?

[reisegern]

It is not visible for users who are not logged in to the forum or are below level “basic user”

[kyankyan]

Thanks!
