The recent technical issues...especially the inability to avoid the political forum...are truly diminishing the ToTV experience. Just a word of encouragement to keep up your best efforts to make the fixes.

What do you mean about the inability to avoid the political forum? When I go to view the new posts page, I never see any of those threads.

[rivaridger1]

Agree, I never see the political posts either. Now that I can make the classifieds disappear, everything seems to be back to normal.

[Polar Bear]

Good to hear. I'll recheck my settings...maybe it's me!

There is no obligation to open or view the political posts.

Just like there is no obligation to go into the political forum.

I totally disagree that the political forum or posts affect the rest of TOTV.

[Polar Bear]

I didn't say there was an obligation. I said I couldn't avoid them being displayed on my new posts page. Not opening them is not the same as not seeing them. Big difference. And I respect your opinion that the political forum does not affect the rest of ToTV. But that's just what it is...your opinion. I don't happen to share it.

And I still have that issue but for a different reason than I suspected possibly. I usually use Tapatalk. When the posts following mine said they do not see the political posts, I figured it might be a Tapatalk thing...which I can understand since it's not ToTV's responsibility to make the forum work in any particular way with Tapatalk.

But when I logged in on my PC, I went to check my various options...particularly group options...in my Control Panel. Only the top two links related to my profile are "clickable". All the rest I cannot access. So I cannot check if I am opted in to the political forum group. I suspect that I am from a while ago. But I cannot opt out as it stands now.

MODS: Still sounds like a bit of a tech glitch to me. Is it possible it's something specific to my account? Or is it a general glitch?

[billethkid]

I wonder if they are still working the issue/problem.
I suspect the mods will make a statement at some point.

[Jima64]

I don't see the political post but wish they would do something about the classified ads.

You are NOT alone, I found the same problems when I went to check my settings. Also, major problems with PMs, I cannot enter text on ANY field to create or reply to a PM.

Does ToTV really have Tech Staff???.............This software was not developed by ToTV........they purchased it, or leases it, or has a license to use it. They might have to push issues back to the vendor/owner.

I dont seem to be having any problems sending PM's. I sent you one as a test just now.

I think you are right. From seeing these same message boards used by other groups years ago, I suspect this is old technology. I wonder if new and better technology is available and does anyone look into such possibilities. What is currently being used seems to have lots of problems.

Bingo

[DeanFL]

MY opinion.

REALLY folks? Is this truly worthy of getting your collar hot over?

Yep, when opening New Posts, I saw the political forum post headings too. Did I open them = no. Really don't want to get my collar sweaty. Been there. So I scan the threads/postings I want to open. Red hat club, no. Stuff for sale I don't want, no. Interesting stuff, yeah. Nice to have MY choice. Kinda what we cherish here in the USA. How I read the paper too.

BTW - must have fixed the issue, as now I don't see the PF stuff. The world is right once again. At least in my part of TV.

[villagetinker]

Photo1902, I saw your PM, the problem is worse, I cannot even open it now.....

ADMIN, please look at this.
