  @my4mainecoons said in Got a notification that I'm being followed by a business:

  @zerenia Go to Followers. Click on their avatar for their profile. Click Report User (?). Then Ignore User. I “think” Russ takes care of them. If you don’t ignore them they stay as a Follower but it will show that they’re banned.

  @my4mainecoons Will do - thanks!

  @kamal said in Block FMB1 from a thread:

  After four separate requests to stay out of a thread I created, they continue to post, including calling other people in the thread liars.

  I’d like to either block him from the thread, or delete the thread entirely. (I dont seem to be able to delete a thread I started.

  Yet you keep making useless threads.

  Now all of a sudden I see this on my screen,

  https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/d106/atikovi/PW.jpg

  Was this because I said his constant posting of videos broke the forum? If someone puts ME on their ignore list, does that mean I can’t see THEIR posts anymore? Much appreciated. Thank you FMB1, thank you very much.

  @kamal said in Not enough priviledges:

  When trying to delete a post I made, I get an error that “I dont have enough priviledges”? Ummm, it’s my own post, and not in a Garage thread… ?

  That happens when there’s a system glitch. Try logging out and logging back in.

  It’s been that way for quite some time.

  @my4mainecoons said in PhatWallet needs your permission to activate desktop notifications:

  @dangeruss is this something we opt in to?

  Yes. It’s up to you if you want it, it basically makes it closer to the likes of Facebook where you get notified outside of the site about people responding to you.

  I don’t know anything about Facebook. Does it only appear when you have PhW open or when online? Does one have to opt in? Hoping it’s not a default setting.

  Yes, the popup people are complaining about here is the opt-in. It should go away after you’ve either opted in or out.
  I don’t see an option to op-out other than blocking it once you allow it.

  No. The cert expires at a certain time, and if I’m not on the site I don’t notice it. No need to be patient. Worst case I ignore your email. Thanks again for pinging me.

  @kamal said in Seeing images from blocked users:

  If a user is on your blocked list, you can still see images in their posts even if the post text itself is blocked.

  I have some blocked users. Although don’t recall ever seeing an image, when
  someone quotes them, I do see their message. But, if a quote does not
  delete the line for the image, it will show up in their quote.
  Pretty sure my blocked users never post images.

  @zapjb said in PW Post, Reply & Quote ability is screwy.:

  Unless I’m missing something the software to post, reply & quote is unusual. I can barely see what I’m typing as the >window is 1 inch high. Why isn’t there a full screen option? Then advanced option that’ll give vertical dual pane in full >screen mode? And the same full screen dual pane in preview mode. And the arrows when I’m quoting someone I don’t >how to multiple quote. Instead of arrows <<<. Why is there not quote boxes []? This forum software is unlike any other >forum I’ve ever belonged to.

  zapjp
  I saw this question and took you off my ignore list to give you some information.
  Until a few weeks ago my reply/quote looked exactly as you described.
  But then suddenly it changed to a much simpler to use format.
  Don’t know if PW changed the interface or I unknowingly changed it myself,
  but here is the way it looks now and every edit action can be done from this
  single page. Click on picture to enlarge.

  That is zen mode ( the full screen icon that shows when posting a topic or reply)

  Thanks, so how did I get into zen mode? Until a few weeks ago my
  Post, Reply & Quote looked exactly like zapjb has described with a
  tiny reply strip with tools at the bottom and clicking the crossed
  arrows gave a larger reply area but no tools and had to esc to get
  back to where the tools were? Oh, wait the crossed arrows is zen
  mode, but before the full screen had no tools or the X cancel in
  the top left corner, nor the send arrow in the top right and to do
  either had to escape out to that screen described before to do either.
  I managed to muddle thru for almost 3yrs but thought it was the
  worst interface EV-ER.

  I’m sorry if this has been asked before and my search skills didn’t put the right string in, but >does PhatWallet have a mobile app? I would love it if it did. Thanks

  I’m using PW right now from an Android TV Box. You simply put the PW URL into whatever
  mobile browser you use (mine is firefox, but Chrome or a generic would work just as well) then when PW loads you bookmark it to easily return later. I think Opera would be a good choice because the home screen has visible bookmark icons. You can put a quarter in my tip jar.

  @dstall63 I believe that is there from when you initially click on a new reply in a post or the first unread reply in a post. It stays for about 10-15 seconds.

  Can this be a feature request for @dangeRuss ? Either a popup functionality for mobile to view the actual timestamps, or a way to toggle all messages to show relative time or absolute.

  Your novels are quite impressive over a simple issue that you neglect to focus on!

  I’m sorry that you are unable to provide a valid reason for your second request. Since your initial question/reason for this thread has been answered, I’m an marking this thread resolved. I’m also locking this thread because further attempts at reasoning are pointless. Please be assured that the scheduled site maintenance will be moved to a less busy time if and when such a time is identified.

  @fivetalents Thanks for the directions and for adding the photo, much appreciated!

  You’re welcome. I actually ran into the same problem you described when I clicked save (it reverted to the previous image with the dark background no matter what I did). My solution was after (a) uploading the light background via URL to (b) upload the light background from my PC. Thay way, even if it reverts to the previous image, the previous image is identical to the current image. Hope that makes sense.

  @couponclippen said in Blocking posters:

  @ctcarl I have blocked posters. When I come back to the site and click on NEW posts the blocked posters new garbage posts are listed in the new posts.

  I understand what you are asking for. You would like to intone, “Begone!”, and with a metaphoric wave of your hand, never see a particular PWF user’s name or writings ever again.

  If there is a way for you to accomplish that, I am not aware of it.

  What you are able to do, as I’ve explained twice already, is to block the user via his or her profile.

  You will still see the posts, but the actual messages themselves will be hidden from you.
